Philoptochos Needs Your Help!

Philoptochos is collecting jogging suits to be donated to the Mental Health Association of Forsyth County. The suits are for the patients at Novant and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centers.

Suits should have no drawstring in the pants and a pull over style top. Does not have to be lightweight. All sizes needed but, the majority needed are large, XL and XXL.

We would like to hit the goal of 50 suits.


St. Porphyrios's Spiritual Counsels

1) "...This is the way we should see Jesus Christ. He is our friend, our brother; He is whatever is good and beautiful. He is everything. Yet, He is still a friend and He shouts it out, "You're my friends, don't you understand that? We're brothers. I don't hold hell in my hands. I am not threatening you. I love you. I want you to enjoy life together with me."

2) "Love Christ and put nothing before His Love. He is joy, He is the life, He is the light. Christ is Everything. He is the ultimate desire, He is everything. Everything beautiful is in Christ."

3) "Somebody who is Christ's must love Christ, and when he loves Christ he is delivered from the Devil, from hell and from death."

4) God loves us very much. He continuously has us in His thoughts and He protects us. We must believe this reality well and not be afraid of anything in life.

5) You should fill up your souls with the presence of Christ, with divine love, with joy.  The joy of Christ will heal you.

6) You should not be concerned whether or not people like you, but you should be concerned about loving Christ and all your fellow human beings.  Only in this way will your soul be filled with Jesus Christ.

7) The most important thing in our lives is to love Christ and then all our problems will be resolved.

After enduring the unspeakable hardshi...

The entire Greek community was her family.    Fotini was a lifelong devoted member of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was...
