THE WALL OF HISTORY, MEMORIES AND HOPE
Ο ΤΟΊΧΟΣ, ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑΣ , ΜΝΗΜΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΛΠΙΔΑ

Last month, Fr. George blessed our meditation garden. The first wall is almost complete with names of parishioners and relatives. As 2016 is the 99th year of St. Demetrios’s existence, we honor the past and present and pray for our future.

The names are not in any particular order, nor are they especially grouped by family members, nor living versus dead, nor are they the same size segmented larger versus smaller bricks.

The bricks are integrated together in a mostly random pattern. No one brick is more important than another, because God loves ALL the children of His house, present and past. It is because of the COLLECTIVE efforts of ALL the people on the wall, that this church was founded and built upon for the last 99 years.

The wall is not just for today, nor just to meditate about the past, but to know the history of our church as a blending of everyone’s efforts and to pray for the future of our church for the next 100 years.
So if you have not purchased your brick, a second wall is being prepared now. Please call you order into the church office and be ready for our 100th anniversary celebration in 2017.

Τον περασμένο μήνα, Fr. Γιώργος ευλόγησε διαλογισμό κήπο μας με την πρώτη τοίχο σχεδόν πλήρης, με ονόματα. Καθώς το 2016 είναι το 99ο έτος της ύπαρξής του Αγίου Δημητρίου, τιμούμε το παρελθόν και το παρόν και προσευχόμαστε για το μέλλον μας.
Τα ονόματα δεν είναι σε κάποια συγκεκριμένη σειρά, ούτε είναι ιδιαίτερα ομαδοποιηθεί από μέλη της οικογένειας, ούτε ζουν έναντι νεκροί, ούτε είναι το ίδιο μέγεθος κατά διαστήματα μεγαλύτερα σε σχέση με μικρότερα τούβλα.

Το τούβλο είναι ενσωματωμένα μαζί σε ένα ως επί το πλείστον τυχαίο μοτίβο. Κανείς δεν τούβλο είναι πιο σημαντικό από ό, τι άλλο επειδή ο Θεός αγαπά όλα τα παιδιά του σπιτιού το παρόν και το παρελθόν του. Είναι λόγω των συλλογικών προσπαθειών όλων των ανθρώπων στον τοίχο, ότι αυτή η εκκλησία ιδρύθηκε και χτίστηκε κατά τα τελευταία 99 χρόνια.

Το τείχος δεν είναι μόνο για το σήμερα , ούτε απλά να διαλογίζεται για το παρελθόν, αλλά να θυμόμαστε το παρελθόν, ξέρω την ιστορία της Εκκλησίας μας, ως ανάμειξη των προσπαθειών όλων μας και προσευχόμαστε για το μέλλον της Εκκλησίας μας για τα επόμενα 100 χρόνια.

Έτσι, αν δεν έχετε αγοράσει από τούβλα σας, ένα δεύτερο τείχος ετοιμάζεται τώρα. Παρακαλώ καλέστε παραγγελία σας στο γραφείο εκκλησία και να είναι έτοιμος για την 100η επέτειο μας το 2017.
