Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
is the hallmark of our faith. Nothing
can surpass its radiant beauty or its
theological significance. In similar
manner, the icon of the Resurrection
represents the quintessential image of
salvation in the Church. It reflects the
eminent themes and glorious aspects
of Christ’s redemptive work affected
through His Resurrection.
The icon of the Resurrection brings
comfort and faith by reassuring us
that death no longer has dominance
over humanity, for it has been utterly
defeated and forever annihilated by
Christ. God proves once again that the
ultimate authority in the universe rests
in the One Who raised Himself from
out of the tomb and Who grants to all
of us the fruits of eternal life.
For humanity, death is the most
notorious thief. From the moment we
are born, this insidious fiend stalks
us seeking any chance, any moment,
to steal from us God’s precious gift of life. Because it prowls in
the darkness of night, impending fear befalls the one who looks
upon it without faith. The Christian, however, need not fear
death because he is acutely aware that death has been conquered
through Christ’s Resurrection.
“I AM the Resurrection and [I AM] the Life.” From Christ’s
statement found in the Gospel of St. John (11:25) both Resurrection and Life are gifts given to us by God. Yet, perfectly
understood, these gifts are seen as the personification of Jesus
Christ, the Giver of all good gifts.
The purpose of Christ’s entreaty into this world is to connect
His divine life with our earthly lives. The concept of linking humanity to God is acutely illustrated in the icon of the Resurrec-
Wait for the promise of the Father
tion through the interlocking of hands.
Extending His hands downward,
Christ is offering help to both Adam
and Eve. Through this simple gesture,
the theological meaning is that of the
divine and human relationship. Christ’s
concern and love for humanity are
richly symbolized in this compassionate act. So too, if we reach out to Christ
with faith as did the First-creations, His
powerful grasp will meet ours in a clasp
that is literally earth shattering. For we,
who were once dead and consigned to
the grave, shall rise in glory with Him
who is the Resurrected One.
Indeed, the Eastern Orthodox depiction of the Resurrection reassures the
onlooker that this act is not an isolated
one accomplished and meant for Christ
alone. Hence, Christ is not portrayed
as exiting the tomb by Himself but
rather, is surrounded by those who are
in desperate need of His help. In addition to Adam and Eve, great Biblical
figures such as St. John the Baptist, together with the prophets,
kings and other personalities of the Old Testament are depicted.
Everyone, without exception, is in need of Christ’s redemptive
powers. Only He saves.
The true beauty of this icon becomes a reality, for us, on
Easter night. As the faithful assemble to celebrate Christ’s
Resurrection, as we chant Xristos Anesti, as we receive the Paschal
light, and as we commune with His precious Body and Blood,
we perceive, that in this magnificent icon, our own faces and
our own lives are being etched into the scene. We have become
true participants in Christ’s Resurrection and accordingly bask
in His glory on Pascha day and every day that follows unto the
ages of ages. Amen. ^

Parish Council
Update
n
BY PETER TARHANIDIS
In January I stated that it would take the
collective leadership of the Parish Council to
achieve the priorities of the Parish. With that
in mind, I want to share the Parish Council’s
collective leadership model that supports the administrative needs of Stewardship, Ministries and
Fellowship to serve parishioners’ needs to grow and
experience our Orthodox faith.
I considered that our chief goal is to grow the
parish and the church. To accomplish this we
bind our collective leadership into a common focus to increase the outcomes of the committees,
exceed the needs of the ministries and develop
our future leaders. Our leadership model is
further defined across the following three parts:
ƒƒ First, as Council members we practice
servant leadership. Servant leadership
begins for all of us as a need to “serve first”.
The model constantly held up before us
by the Church is that of Christ. He is the
model par excellence of servant leadership.
“Whoever desires to be first among you, let him become
Committee your servant – just as the Son of Man did not come to
be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom
for many.” – Matthew 20:27. The servant
leader values strong relationships through
communication and community. This type
of leadership emphasizes attentiveness to
the parishioners’ concern and nurtures
their need.
ƒƒ Second, our role as Committee Chairs is to
support the necessary changes and produce
movement within the committees and the
supported ministries. We accomplish this
activity by establishing direction, align and
communicate with parishioners, motivate
and inspire our committee members into
action to satisfy the unmet needs among
Parishioners
ƒƒ Third, our role in support of the ministries
is to help develop the management approach
to create order and consistency. Consistency
is a key to establishing positive experiences.
We accomplish this through activities that
provide for the ministries, assist in organizing their events and generate creative solutions to meet the ministry’s vision.

Last month I asked for each of us as Council
members to re-dedicate ourselves to our committee
work to support the needs of our parish. Over the
next few months Council members will convene
their committees to achieve that goal.
As a result of the Parish Council’s leadership
and in consensus with Father Peter’s blessings the
parish has expanded four select committees and
ministries.
These highlights include new committees for
Holy Trinity’s 50th Gala Anniversary and The
Holy Trinity Endowment Fund and Planned Giving. Religious Education is expanded to include
Church Music to represent Choir and Chanters.
The Youth GOA is expanded to create a Young
Adult Ministry.
Today I ask that any interested Parishioner join
a Ministry or Committee to experience the fellowship within our Parish.
Below is a listing of the key committees and the
leaders who are the committee Chairs that work in
conjunction with the ministry leaders. If you have
any question, comments or feedback please contact
the Chair leader or me directly. ^

The Vasilopita Celebration was truly
an exceptional day in the life of Holy
Trinity, Westfield, NJ.
Helen Constantinides Bruno and
Janet Zervakos O’Sullivan, co-chairs,
delivered a superbly coordinated jubilee
that warmed the hearts of all. Their detailed planning, using their exemplary
talents, generous hearts, and “hriso
heria,” included many lovely and loving
signature touches of perfection, making the
festivities so memorable and joyous.
In fact, they ensured that everyone
received a chocolate coin as a favor.
Together with Reservations Co-chairs,
Julie Exarhakos and Debra Vlahakis,
and the support of the entire Board,
the Westfield chapter hosted a packed
Bouras Center in breaking the New
Year’s bread with the Holy Trinity
Family. The Light of Christ radiated
in true fellowship with ultimate grace.
Ellen Manos-Athenson, Philoptochos
Stewardship Chair, thoughtfully spoke
in an uplifting manner about the focus
and direction of Philoptochos, which
can only continue with support from all
women. She invited the Board members
of Chapter #1036 to come forward and
offer their Stewardship for 2015, setting
an example to encourage others in the
New Year.

What time could be more appropriate to visit the Book

Help Spread The Word Of God!
Book Store Stewardship gives you the opportunity to
browse our offerings and meet new friends, and most rewarding of all, to help spread the Word of God. There is
an old saying: “It is better to give than to receive.” Why?
Because you can receive more than you give. “Give, and
it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over will be put into your
bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will
be measured back to you.” See 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 for
Saint Paul’s landmark writing on bountiful stewardship,
and thus the bountiful rewards God will give: 1 Corinthians 2:9: “But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear
heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the
things which God has prepared for those
who love Him.” ^

Honor and Tribute to the
Legacy of Struggle and
Sacrifice, Equality and
Freedom civilrights.goarch.org
SELMA, Ala. – Thousands of people
attended the commemoration of the 50th
Anniversary of the 1965 National Voting Rights Act and “Bloody Sunday,” that
concluded today, March 8, 2015, with a
long service at the historic Brown Chapel
African Methodist Episcopal Church and a
final march through the town of Selma and
across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
“In great struggles, hope is sustained by
faith in God and the assurance that He will
fulfill His promises… On this anniversary
we commemorate the heroic faith and hope
of those who struggled, of those who upheld
human dignity through powerful yet peaceful protests and demonstrations against
racism, prejudice, fear and hatred,” said
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of
America, delivering remarks on God, Struggle,
and Unity, during the early morning Martin
and Coretta King Unity Breakfast, at the Wallace
Community College of Selma. The event
was attended by many religious and civic
rights leaders including the Mayor of Selma
George P. Evans, Martin Luther King
III, Lucy Baines Johnson, the daughter of
President Johnson; the Governor Duval
Patrick of Massachusetts, US Secretary of
HUD Julián Castro, US Secretary of Labor
Thomas E. Perez and the Director of the
White House Office of Management and
Budget Shaun L. S. Donovan.
The service at the Brown Chapel
AME Church, that followed included
scripture readings, choral responses,
tributes and remarks by government
officials, religious leaders and Civil
Rights Movement leaders. Among
those present were the Attorney
General of the United States Eric H.
Holder, Jr. and the former US Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young. Ambassador Young,
who was a good friend of Martin
Luther King Jr. and his principal
lieutenant, was also a good friend
of Archbishop Iakovos. In his remarks, he
warmly presented Archbishop Demetrios
as the Primate of the Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese of America and successor to
Archbishop Iakovos, paying tribute to his
memory and contributions to the Civil

Holy Trinity's Ongoing Efforts
n
BY PENNY PEFANIS
In this Paschal season, we celebrate
the Lord’s Resurrection, as He is the
Truth, the Way, and the Light. Jesus
Christ literally rose above it all by keeping the heavenly perspective. He leads
us to rise above controversies, jealousies,
petty personal attacks, and ego slights,
real or imagined, directing us to accomplish good in this world. The saintly
invocation, Agios (o Theos), means that
He was “in the world, yet not of it,”
again, rising above it all.
Despite all the torture and Passion
that He endured, Christ maintained
confidence in His perspective, the
power inherent in taking an aerial view.
He rose above it all. When He had
completed the Divine Plan and said: “It
is finished,” we were given the ability
to track Christ’s energy on Earth; witnessing that everything bloomed, was
healed, or came to life in His presence.
Over 2000 years later, we still glorify
these acts. With His Resurrection, we
clearly see that He came to bring life to
our souls and bring it abundantly.
As we glorify His Resurrection, we
must continue to glorify His life by

Report/Update
Athletics: Basketball
n
BY CHRISTOPHER BOUTSIKARIS AND GEORGE LEICHTLING
Sr. Basketball – 1st Place
The senior boys basketball team had a tremendous season this year. The boys started off
the season with a close game loss to Holmdel. After that first loss, they went undefeated
and went on a five game winning streak while demonstrating good sportsmanship heading into the playoffs as the number one seed. In our first playoff game, we earned a victory
against Trenton, finishing with a 7 point lead which advanced us to the finals. In the finals
against Asbury Park, the whole team displayed great teamwork and were very motivated to
achieve the victory. They were determined not to let the game slip away and kept battling
throughout the game. The game came down to the last second when the scored was all tied
up. With one of the most exciting games Westfield basketball has ever been a part of, the
coaches devised a great play and it worked to perfection with a buzzer beating layup to end
the season in the highest note possible. The final score of the game was 50-48, Westfield. It
was an ultimate ending to a truly amazing season. We would like to thank all of the coaches
and parents who supported us during our successful season.
Jr. Basketball – 2nd Place
The junior basketball team also had a great season. After a slow start, the juniors got
it going and willed themselves into the championship against Asbury Park. It was a hard
fought game by both teams and it came down to the last quarter with Asbury pulling away
at the end. The junior boys gave a great effort throughout the season and we are immensely
proud of their accomplishments this year. ^
Volleyball – 3rd Place
n
BY CHRISTINA KALLINOSIS
Our volleyball team this year consisted of girls from 7th-12th grade. With some of the
girls coming to the first practice having never played before, we had our work cut out for
us. As the season progressed we practiced twice a week, working on skills and learning to
play as a team. With some great wins and a couple of tough losses we went to the playoffs
and finished in 3rd place. We worked so hard all season and are proud of our season's outcome which of course would not be possible without our head coach, Ellen Conti, trainer,
Zenon Christodoulou, and parent assistant, Greg Panagos. We look forward to working
with everyone again next year! ^

GOYA Outreach
n
Bridges
BY CAROLINE MAGLARAS
My Outreach theme this year focuses on “Random Acts of
Kindness.” The first project that the GOYA worked on was
Christmas Caroling, which was a great success. The second outreach project was to write Valentine`s Day cards for the children
in Children`s Specialized Hospital in Mountainside. Valentine`s
Day is a time to celebrate our love for those important to us and
delivering cards would be a perfect fit for our GOYA to connect
with the children. In February we wrote and decorated cards
for many of the children. We had fun making them. I hope and
continue to do this activity again for another holiday.
44th Annual Sights & Sounds
Festival
Wow is all I can say. Not only am extremely happy that the Westfield
GOYA has finally won Sights and Sounds after 6 long years, but I am
extremely proud of the effort and hard work of all our participants. I
am thankful for the endless amount of time the advisors and directors
have put into making our performances one-of-a-kind. We wouldn't
have been able to achieve our first place success without the hard work
from everyone. Also, being a senior and Sights and Sounds being my
favorite GOYA statewide event, this is a great way to go out with a bang!
Congratulations to all of our winners and participants, you should be
very proud of your accomplishments! Participation is key in this festival,
so let's double our efforts next year.
Your proud president, Alexandra
Holy Trinity YHT teamed up with GOYANs from Holmdel,
Ocean and Union Churches to prepare 300 brown bagged lunches
and toiletry kits for the needy. A pizza party social followed. Items
were delivered to St. John’s in Newark on Valentine’s day…a perfect way to help others less fortunate. Thank you to all GOYANs
who participated in this outreach event.
