February, 2009

On Sunday, February 22, we enjoyed the gracious hospitality of Plutarch and Tina Vamvakias, and had a wonderful, spiritually uplifting discussion on various topics in our favorite book, “The Mountain of Silence”.

The next meeting will be held on Sunday, March 29th at the home of Cedric and Peggy Dunkerly. Their address is:
10900 S. Kimball Bridge Crossing
Alpharetta, GA 30022.

At this next meeting we will have our final discussion on The Mountain of Silence. We will focus on Chapters 14-17. Please read those three chapters, so that they may be fresh in your mind.

The St. Nektarios book will be held over until the following gathering which will be in MAY. There will be no Spiritual Book Club during the month of April because of Holy Week and Easter.

You are invited to the Spiritual Book Club meeting to be held at the home of Plutarch and Tina Vamvakias this Sunday, February 22, from 7:00pm till 9:00pm. Their address is 106 Pebble Brook Run, Canton, GA 30115. Please rsvp our hostess at 770.479.1246 or tvamvakias@windstream.net in order to facilitate catering arrangements.

Due to the fact that The Mountain of Silence has proved so popular for discussion, it was decided that we would use the same book again for the month of February. We will still be discussing Logismoi and strategies to diffuse them.

The book for the month of March is, “St. Nektarios, A Saint for our Century”, by S. Chondropoulos. The installation of the icon of St. Nektarios in our church in March will coincide with our reading of the life of this great saint. Copies are be available at our bookstore.

All Stewards of the Parish are invited to the Parish Assembly, which will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2009 immediately following the Divine Liturgy. The Assembly will be held in the Parish Life Center (Community Hall). A light lunch will be served for those attending. Please bring along the printouts mailed to you.
