Enjoyed your sermon Fa. Peter...10AM RIGHT? Miss you all. GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Enjoyed listening to the liturgy today September 6, 2003. It is my first time visiting your wonderful site. Have a Blessed day.

LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FIRST GREEK FESTIVAL IN BELMONT.

I LOVE THIS PAGE. KEEP IT UP.

Heard your services for the first time this past Sunday 5/25/03 and I really enjoyed. We have no church here in Baton Rouge and the closest would be New Orleans. I will be catching your services at least every Sunday and some weekday services. Keep up the good work and Thank you very much.

Christos Anesti father Peter! Mary Costas introduced us to your website. Very impressive. Funny with all the computer heads here at St. Nicholas that we don't have a website of our own. Mary told us of new icons you are installing at your church. Will you be putting images on the web? Won't keep you too long, but we did want to say Hello and also wish Constantine good wishes for we found out that he is going to pursue becoming a priest. We saw your Mother-in-law, Mary, during Holy week here at St. Nicholas and it was great seeing her and she told us that you all are well. Thank God. Give our love to Nikki and your family.

Christ is risen! I found the website when ordering a book through St Vlad's -- when I came to the beautiful photograph of the sanctuary tears came to my eyes and a joy to my heart. Though we are happy in California, blessed with a wonderful parish at St Demetrios in Camarillo, CA, it was at St Alexander's that my family and I truly began to discover what it means to invite our Lord into our home as its Master. With glory to God for His patience and love -- what miracles he brings to all our lives if only we let him. To see the names of those we love involved in the life of St Alexander reinforces the many blessings that God has allowed us in our lifetime. Our prayers for health for all. Being able to send this message means so much. Though we may not be in direct contact as often as we should, please know that you are all remembered daily in our prayers. God bless the ministry and good works of all. Gregory.

Nice layout on your sight. Some of the pistures didn't come up, though.

ACCOLADES TO THE HOLY CROSS YOUTH CHOIR. YOUR VOICES, WERE STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL...GOOD JOB! CONGRATULATIONS, KHARA.

My nephew in West Virginia just informed me that I can now see the Services on the Internet. Is this so? Also, I enjoyed reading all the questions & statements above, however, I do not know where the answers to them are. There's no Greek Orthodox Church here in Bend, Or. & I sure miss receiving Communion. I am a heart patient & i was just diagnosed with Cancer. May God Bless you for having our church services on the internet. Respectfully yours, Helen E.Pallis Schick

I like reading about the different programs different Churches have set up and came upon your site. I see the iconography is very beautiful and coming along nicely. God Bless and continue the wonderful work. I just have one question, I read the entry regarding Lastdayapostle@hotmail.com and since it was posted on the guestbook that it must have some merit; is this possible? By all means I do believe in out of the ordinary things occuring and somehow being touched and connected to Jesus maybe this is just too much for me to take in right now. I will visit the site though. Thanks, Hronia Pola, Yvonne

I would also like to echo my sister, Andrea and my brother, Anthony graditude all those who gave my cousin Alex Fotis support, love and faith during her time of terrible sorrow. I am the older sister, so I remember going to church at Holy Cross, when services where held outdoors! I am thrilled to know the Church my parents, Ann and Peter Chase help to create has come so far, and such a comfort to so many. What a wonderful and varibrant parish it is! I am sure my parents would be extremely proud and pleased. With love and prayers Theodora

whatever problems you have or go through; let me remind you we all have made sinns, some more, some less, but remember there was a man some 2000 yrs ago who did not say anything wrong nor did he do so, but still he went through the most difficult times imagenible, till the bitter end...for us. merry christmas D.Pastras

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for net casting your services.

My husband and I are not Greek.We went to a Greek festival in Seattle aat St Demetrios Orthodox Church. We went to see the church and listened to the talk given. My husband and I were very impressed by the friendly people. They talked to us and were very kind even though we were not Greek. My husband and I were raised Catholic. We are very interested in learning more about the Orthodox Church. We live in Washington now but will move to California this summer. Are there any study materials over the internet to get us started or books we can purchase. Thank you for your help. God Bless All Michele and Robert Morrisey

I also want to thank all of you who support and comfort my cousin, Alexandra Fotis, at this difficult time of the death of her father. Anthony and I were so moved and comforted by the ritual and tradition of the services we attended. I have not attended services since the death of my own parents and I found them to be comforting, familar and a spiritual balm at a difficult time. Anthony and I were remembering our own loss of our mother at exactly this time of year four years ago. Thank you Father Peter for reminding me of the importance of my heritage and faith.

I wanted to say thank you and God bless all of you for making my cousin Alex Fotis feel comforted during this time of grief. The service on Sunday was the most inspired and beatiful I've ever attended. My hope is to stay connected with you in some way. Thank you, Anthony

I was looking for a Greek Orthadox Church in the Dallas Ft. Wth area for me and my Greek fiancee. Even though I'm not actually a Greek, Im very interested in Greek culture and know the Greeks are very informed about religion. If you feel you have any information in which we could benifit and learn , please feel free to call 817-795-1401 THANKS FOR YOUR CARE AND CONCERN GEOFF & STELLA, SOON TO BE FORSTER!

One must go to an Orthodox Priest for the sacrament of Holy Confession. It is not proper or permissible to confess to a Roman Catholic priest or receive HOly Communion in the Roman Catholic Church, especially when a Greek Orthodox Church is close by. The Sacrament of Holy Confession in the Greek Orthodox Church is for Eastern Orthodox Christians. There are two Greek Orthodox Church in San Jose, call and visit one of them.

All you need to do is call your priest and schedule a confession. The Sacrament of Holy Confession is not limited to only a few weeks in Great Lent or before a major feast day. Holy Communion should not be received if we have not made the proper preparations, i.e. prayer, fasting, and confession.

I just did a search on my own name , nicole anesti & it brought up this site ... very interesting :) He is risen indeed! God bless

Is it a sin to receive Communion without having gone to Confession?

How would I be able to go to Confession? Is it given only during Lent and before major feast days? Or would I talk with my Priest and schedule a time with him? Also, if I were to go to Confession at a Catholic church, would that be accepted by our own church?

Just discovered your website. It's great!

Dear Maria, Making time for the Sacrament of Confession is a responsibility of every Orthodox Christian. Yes, we can confess our sins to God but He has instructed us and provided a means by which we ask for His forgivenes. Confessing our sins in the presence of a priest is a tradition that dates back to the time of Christ and His disciples. Jesus tells us in the Gospels of Saints Matthew and John that the authority to forgive sins is granted to them. In the early church people would stand to confess their sins to God in the presence of the congregation. As the Church grew in numbers this became impractical and so the priests began to witness confessions on behalf of the Church community. In confession, we stand before the Icon of Christ in the presence of the priest, confessing our sins and failures. The priest is present to offer spiritual counsel and pray the prayer of forgiveness, asking for the forgiveness of sins both voluntary and involuntary. Once cleansed of our sins we rededicate our life to serve Him with greater love and humility and obedience. Through confession we seek greater spiritual growth and closeness with our Lord.

I am almost 16 years old I meant. Please respond in this guestbook seeing to as I put my mother's email address.

I am almost years old and a Greek Orthodox christian. I have never been to Confession, but have received Holy Communion many times. I am not to say I am sinless, and truthfully, there is no excuse for me not going to Confession ever. Last night, I had a dream about Confession. I'm a little scared. Is it really necessary to confess our sins to a priest? Or can we confess to God on our own through prayer? Thank you.

It is wonderfulllllllllllllllll

To the Glory of God, we live in a time when we need to share to goodness of God and what He has done for us. This is the continuation of the the Church. We must protect its Tradition as well as the Glory of God. Please share with me

I have to respond to the poster below who argues that Orthodoxy must change to accommodate the changes in a globalizing world. I would suggest that the Orthodox Faith retains its very "Orthodoxy" by maintaining the absolute truths of the Christian religion once revealed to the saints. As these truths are not relativities dependant upon the whim of society, altering the Orthodox Church one iota to accommodate changes in what the world thinks would be tantamount to abandoning the idea of absolute truth in Orthodoxy. We cannot say that Orthodoxy is the divinely-guided church of Christ if we seek to conform it to the relative realities of culture and society - for Christ is not of this world, and we know that the world is the domain of the fallen angels. Subordinating Orthodoxy to the fallen natures of men and demons by making it an appendage of pop-culture would, inherently, sap Orthodoxy of vitality and durability. This is exactly what has happened in many modernist jurisdictions.

love your site. For those of you looking for an online bookstore, Dormition Books is an internationally distributing online Orthodox Book Seller

Orthodoxy needs the modern and typically "western" virtues of flexibility; the ability to cope with change as a law of our modern culture; objectivity, openness, fairness, self-criticism; and a sense of the unity of modern global culture in which no one is or can remain an island. If Orthodoxy is to survive as a viable lifestyle attractive to modern men and women, it will not be as an obscurantist, anti-intellectual culture of folklore and ritualism, sustained by the rejection of modernity and change.

I am interested in moving my parents to Florida from Massachusetts. Tarpon Springs is the goal. My mother is in a wheelcahir from a stroke, but can still speak and laugh and enjoy life. I am interested in programs, community activies, daycare for elderly people of Greek origin. Thanks for any information and hope to see you in Tarpon Springs soon! ernie.samaras@lawson.com

Enjoyed being with you for today's Liturgy...Fa. John's sermon was powerful. The video was "blury" but still wonderful to view the interior of our Church...almost like being there! GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Eight months ago I relocated from NYC to Georgia, in the town on Carrollton, I've been searching for a Greek Church to go to since then, and about last week I hooked up my internet service with my phone provider, and started a search on the internet. I found 9 different Greek orthodox churches, ranging from atlanta to Gwinett county, but none in Douglassville or Carroll(Carrollton)counties, these other churches are way out of my way to go to, im talking about anything from 1-4 hours one way. My Question is, are there going to be any churches built in Carroll county or Douglassville county , so that I may enter church regularly, all we have out here is Baptist churches. Please get back to me as soon as possible, Thank You. enj523813@aol.com- John(Ioannis)Tsirakidis.

Hi, My name is Michael, and I was saved and baptized in Jesus name in 1991, just four days before my accident and death, yes I was dead and was taken out of the body as the apostle John was when in captivity on the Isle of Patmos. I too was shown things to come and things that are and have been since the begining of christianity. I stood before the most beautiful and majestic white glowing cloud mass that looked like it had no end, and from in the midts of it Jesus came forth and with his arms open wide. He then spoke with out moving his mouth or lips and I heard him say, come on to me Michael. And at that moment I looked down to see what i was standing on and could not see for the cloud had enveloped me at the feet, and then i saw that i was dressed in, It was a white garment from neck down, then as the lord spoke and said come unto to me i seemed to float over toward him and we were face to face. And I held his hands and he said Michael go back and tell my Children that I want to save them all, but they will not allow me in their lives neither into their hearts. Go back and testify, tell them all what you have seen, and what you have heard. And i will give unto you a book that will bring them all back to remembrance and I shall also give unto you a sign in the heavens above the earth and this will let them know that I have sent you and that I am with you and that the words you speak are not of your own but mine. And great and mighty things shall come to pass on the earth in the days of the begining of the end, and people he has done just that, everything he said has come to pass and now has he made these things availible for the world to see. Please go to lastdayapostle.com and see for your selves what Jesus has done and has given us. He has allowed the Holy Ghost to be captured on film, yes that true I filmed a 33 minute visitation by the Holy Ghost over the stJohns river, In the state of Florida. The Holy Ghost has made his day view upon planet earth, and has brought forth the most awesome visual message that will lead all to complete salvation. The Holy Ghost is in the shape of a giant sickle, A Sickle is the tool used in the days of old by the farmers of wheat, to harvest their crops. And on the video, it clearly depicts what Isaiah saw in his day and recorded in Isaiah 53:1, Who has beleived our report, and to whom has the arm of God been revealed. Yes indeed the arm of God the right arm of God is clearly seen on the footage, and thats not all. Also seen clear as the day is long, is the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ that came forth in the eastern morning sky that beautiful morning. And thats not all, the sun was way late in coming forth that morning about 35 to 40 minutes late. And also a light appears at the botom of the elbow of the right arm of God Almighty, and strings of light begin to pour out of the light. And then the light at the bottom of the elbow begins to grow dim and then at the top of the arm at the elbow a light begins to shine bright and pure white. And as it did at the bottom of the elbow, so it also did at the top, strings of light begin to pour out of the light and these strings of light draw a giant white dove. Thus giving the world a visual message of the plan of salvation which Peter gave oraly on pentecost, please go to the site there are pictures from the footage now availible on the site, click on the event photos and see what Jesus Has brought forth, its the begining of the fulfilment of Revelations 14:14 to 16, Acts 2:38, Joel 2:28 Isaiah 53:1, a must see, and if you would like this footage for your own use to gain the lost and deceived please email me att Lastdayapostle@hotmail.com and I will with out a single thought give you the access pass word that unlocks the actual footage area of the Lords site, thanks for your time and labors of such awesome love for our King Jesus Christ, bye.

Christos Anesti! Thank you for sharing your wonderful website.

Being a Greek & raised in the Greek Orthodox faith, it has been very difficult for me at the age of 69 and handicapped to get to church since there are none close enough for me to get to. Today was one of my greatest days to hear the services and hear the choir (as I used to sing in the choir at Sts. Constantine & Helen in Washington DC years ago). It is a true blessing that you are enabling all of us to link on and feel like we are there with you. Thank you. + Koralia

Father Chris & Krissy - We miss you! Don't leave after Golf tourn without coming to say hi. Please give Oreo extra treats on our behalf. We're thinking of you.

I am pleased to find this site. There is no church in this area. The closest is 300 miles, in San Francisco. I have been here 22 years and have lost my connection to the church and religious life. I appreciate your efforts to reach out and I will gratefully tune in. Thank you.

I wanted to look at the Festival from the past year b/c I missed it. It looked like it went very well. Your church looks interesting and I am thinking about attending a service. God Bless---Nicole (ie.Tuck and Roll) PS. HI DEAN

This is the best church in the world. I wouldnt wanna go anywhere else. GREEK PRIDE!! There are special names for the people in the greek mafia....Bang Bangs, Donny Baradouchie, Dino Pebbles, Andrea Mou, and Lil Andrea Mou. Were tinkin of more but we will be done soon. Thats all. God Bless. -DEAN

I'm very much impressed to see such a wonderful service to shut-ins and those who can not get to services. This is a well needed site and God bless your endeavours.

Happy to be with you for today's Liturgy. Inspiratonal homily, Father Peter. Hope to see you some day during this Easter season. GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Father Peter, It's Sunday, March 11th, and I missed church. Somehow I find your site and watch Father Peter Salmas performing the liturgy just like the old days in Northridge. Unbelievable. Hope all is well with Niki and Constantine. Let me know how to email you directly. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Sincerely, Klaus

Hi Father Peter and Presbyteria Nicki. Michael just showed me your website. It's wonderful! I am looking forward to the live liturgy on Sunday ! Maybe I can finally understand and participate in the liturgy. I hope you are all well. My oldest son Michael was accepted to "Holy Cross" here in New York (honors program and a partial scholarship). Hope to make a visit out there soon. Our Love to All, Margy.

WOW! The "Se Emnumen" hymn sung with the Youth Choir was outstanding. We have been attending various churches in our area, but none come close to the glorious hymns and chants, in Greek/English as the Greek Orthodox Church Services. There is a need for a Greek Orthodox Church in this University town, and we thank God for your ministry via the Internet. GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Dear Fr. Peter and Fr. Christopher, I wish you all a blessed Lenten season. It never ceases to amaze me how God works in mysterious ways. I remember how we began this online ministry back in February or so of 1998 and we set a vision for this live broadcast to be used for those who were unable to attend the divine services either due to illness, travel, etc. Well, I want you both to know that Clio and I have been sick since Thursday and we were both unable to attend Liturgy on Sunday. I can't tell you what a joy and inspiration it was to log in and participate in the Divine Liturgy as much as we could from home. God bless you both and please continue your tremendous ministry on the Internet. Regards to everyone out in Belmont; we hope to see you all soon. Have a blessed Lent! In Christ, Theo and Clio Nicolakis

Just a quick note to apologize that we were unable to broadcast services this morning. We will hopefully be up this evening for the Service of Forgiveness.

I couldn't make church this morning and this is such a comfort. thank you.

Just saying hello to the Pallad, Canellos, and Salmas families. I'm living in the Sacramento area now, and look forward to seeing you in the bay sometime soon!

So happy to be with you during this Sunday's Liturgy. Also, wonderful seeing good friends this past week. GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

God Bless you all, good job. Thanks for the special time The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross, give us. Please keep up the good job.Christos Georgiou Old Phaleron Athens Greece.

great services

INSPIRING SERMON, FA. PETER. WE ENJOYED PARTICIPATING IN THE LITURGY LAST SUNDAY...WE NEED TO COME DOWN MORE OFTEN. THE NEW 'AGIOS' HYMN WAS OUTSTANDING, AS WELL AS THE CLOSING AMEN. GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

January 21,2000 We visited Holy Cross two summers ago and were thrilled to find that you webcast the divine liturgy on Sunday that we enjoyed so much then. We live about 35 miles from the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Westfield where we are members and unfortunately when it snows heavily we are unable to attend. Today, we were able to listen to the Orthos and Divine Liturgy, as we were snowed in. Thank you for providing this wonderful service. With Love in Christ, The Fountoulakis Family Stavros Georgia George Nicholas

The Greek Forum is back under a new URL www.greekforum.org The Church Forum is also back in this new address. We need writers, scientists, scholars and all of you to have the many forums take off. You can have your own forum. This is not a commercial site.

Very nicely done website! I'm visiting to let you know about "Come adn See" Icons, Books & Art. We are open for browsing and business at http://www.comeandseeicons.com/ You will find our site informative, as the icons are displayed with their troparia and brief hagiographies, which are also printed and affixed to the backs of the icons sold. Please help us spread the word about this new resource on the web. Thank you!

First successful visit to your site on this, my Name's Day. Unable to get to church today due to illness, so I really appreciated this opportunity to hear the Liturgy live as the best possible substitute for actually being in church. I do not speak Greek, so I very much appreciate whatever English is used in the Services. The sermon was great! Thank you! May the Holy Glorious Forerunner, Prophet and Baptizer of the Lord, John, pray for us all!

Happy New Year!

Please note the correction on my e-mail address. It is marste@toolcity,not toocity.

Hello to all. Wonderful to see a page dedicated to the Greek/Orthodox community. There are many times that I am unable to make it to my home church, as I it is 40 miles away and I live in the snow belt. I was thrilled when my mother, Marilyn Filipos, who is an entry or so behind me, told me of this site. Now, when the weather prohibits the drive I may at least feel that some part of me is still in touch with the church. Many Many Thanks!!!!

There are very few Greeks in the area in which I live. I was so pleased to have been informed of this site. The local Church we attend is an OCA church in which all is in English. To hear the Greek chants again is spiritually uplifting. Thank you.

Συγχαρητήρια!!! Άξιο παράδειγμα προς μίμηση

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

i would like to join the church, please advise about dues etc. thank you, maryanne murphy 408 879.9981, 109 via teresa, los gatos,ca 95030

MAY EVERY JOY OF THIS HOLY SEASON BE YOURS TO SHARE WITH THOSE YOU LOVE. I ENJOY SINGING THE HYMNS WITH YOU...GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!!

I just had to sign your guest book, I just couldn't resist. You have many baskets (kalathia) to empty to fill them with the word of God. God bless you all and especially those who don't need God's blessing. Peace to all. Your site is definitely an asset to the Orthodox Church. Keep up the good work.

would like to know if any aniversary etc album or pictorial directory etc. is out yet old or new, please write Pete Poulos PO box 9103 Missoula Mt. 59807

Fathers, I deeply appreciate your effort to host the Liturgy. For many who cannot be in the Temple weekly to share in the Liturgy this is a wonderful blesssing. I am certain this will also be a God-used tool to draw other to Orthodoxy. Of course, this is no substitute for one's presence at Liturgy, but must be the next best thing. Hearty blessings to the Holy Cross community. David

Greetings from foggy Chico. Today's Liturgy brightened our day! The Choir was beautiful. And, as everyone knows, I love it when Anita plays the chimes. GOHOLYCROSSALTOS! Pari

I tuned into your broadcast of the vespers for Sunday, November 26th(On Saturday). Unfortunately it was not too clear. May be I need a better system. Anyways, thank for the evening prayers. Wonderful how the children are involved, but a pity they do not sing the verses. I think that they could do a good job of it. God bless...slh

God Bless ! Keep up the good work.

I have sufed in here several times to listen to the Greek Liturgy, And so I was Blessed to hear some Scripture read and a little English being spoke. Awsom and Very differnt from the protestant Services I'm used too! God Bless You! Signed Bro. Michael Marchio

Hello to our friends at Holy Cross from the east coast. This is a wonderful website. I am sure that many parishes will emulate your efforts. Keep up the good work.

Enjoyed your sermon Fa. Peter. I will email you regarding a purchase from Greece for Holy Cross. GOHOLYCROSSACAPELLACHOIR!!

READ ABOUT MACEDONIA! Message From: The Macedonian Organization VMRO-MNM (Macedonian for the Macedonians). Tihs is not a commercial. This is about a nation that has suffered deeply, a nation the world has forgotten about. The Macedoian nation has been robbed of its history, traditions, culture, identity, land and so on. Everything the athenians, the "bulgarians", the serbs and rhe "albanians" are writing is really Macedonian. We Macedonians have suffered enough.We want to to show the world our struggle for for justice. The media of the western world has never showed the truth about Macedonia, only "propaganda news". This is the only wey for us to make our voices heard and to inform the world. If you want to know the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation, please visit the web site: www.vmro-mnm.com Alo "atina", "sofija", "belgrad" i "tirana" ovde MAKEDONIJA!

To the Reverend Christopher Flesoras, just a note to Thank you, for your Blessings and patience on Saturday, October 21 you performed a Baptismal for Mr. & Mrs. Peter Betsekas, little Sophie Elizabeth was exercising her lungs and finally went to sleep basically after the service was over. Videotape was made so I was able to listen to your words and realized that you being Greek and I being Roman Catholic, there are similarities in both religions, and you made it very interesting to me. So thanks again. By the way, it was very nice to see you this last Sunday. Peter' Mother Georgia Betsekas told me about the Fellowship lunch on November 19th, I hope to see you then. Friends Alway's, Alicia* Honorary Godmother to Sophie Elizabeth

Stormy, gloomy in Chico today, but are joyful because of the HC Liturgy/Choir reverberating throughout our home...Glorious!!! MISS YOU ALL...GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Appreciated the teaching of faith section, witch you provides along with the general information on this site.

This is the first time that I visited this website. My friend and I were talking about Greek Orthodox, and I do not feel that I am very educated on the subject. I am Greek, but I am of a different religion. I am interested in converting to this religion, and I am anxious of learning more. Thank you for using today's technology in putting this information on the Internet.

Very nice web site I, will be coming back to see anything new. Thank you!!!!

Hi Fr. Chris! I have been on the website, but never noticed this guestbook. It is pretty cool. I think Holy Cross is leading the way in using technology to promote the faith. What a good tool for us newcomers! I have told our friends back at St. Nick's in Detroit, they are working on their website and I am sure they will check it out to get ideas! Great job by all who put this together and update it regularly. Here is an idea maybe a spot where folks can swap recipes for traditional Greek Food or just to have it posted or a Greek Culture section with traditions, etc... The faith has so much to do with the culture and traditions, it would be nice to include. PS - Hi Neil, Antigone, John, Michael, Peter, Paula & the Girls!

nice site you have put together. Question. One the first page of the site is the cross in the upper left a good example of an Orthodox cross? Thanks Bruno

Accolades to the Youth Choir...they sound wonderful! Father Chris' Q&A session today underscores the weakness in our understanding of our Faith, and the need to expand that knowledge. Therefore, I would like to propose a session on the Internet that would address this void,i.e., Monday/Wednesday evening classes. Miss you all...GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR, Pari

I was so delighted to find your web site, I read everything with much interest. And the idea of listening to the service is absoulutely wonderful. I am impressed with all you have to offer. I hope that Father Jon in Modesto can install the same type web page with so much information. The service was wonderful, since at times I must attend classes during Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, I miss many services. This is the perfect way to stay involved with my faith, when I can not make it to church. Thank you again for the wonderful service you are providing to all of us. Ella Velthoen.

Dear Father Peter & Father Chris: Christ is in our midst! It was good to see you both at the Modesto festival today. The Lord is clearly blessing you and your parish! Please pray for me and our Mission here in Merced, CA: by God's grace, things are happening. But it is a different work--almost pure evangelism from here on out. Many years to you both!

HI FATHER'S...ENJOYED THE SERVICE THIS MORNING...GOHOLYCROSSCHOIR!

Appreciate your opportunities for us to post of opinions on your site. Being this is being read on the world wide internet, and not only on this site by those who use the search mode, and find my name and old e-mail address, my newest e-mail address is serghi serghis my parish has it's own web site in Holmdel, NJ. Our pastor, Fr George Dounelis, is a good friend of your pastor here at Belmont's Holy Cross. What we lack in our church is this wonderful internet connection you have with the world. It's a shame we can't have access to the music, and is available only on Sunday's during the hours you are actually having your services. The positive aspect is what we have now is great in itself. Good luck and keep you all strong to live your Orthodox faith. God keep and bless our other friends also. Regards, serghi 9-10-2000; Sunday at 2:10PM Eastern time

I seem to have lost touch with the Greek community over the years and thought is was about time to get back to my roots. Emails and event notifications appreciated. Elias

I will check on this site more often and bookmark. Thank You With Love in Christ Leon
