“There is only one purpose for a Cross!”
by Fr. Barnabas Powell, of Saint Raphael, Nicholas & Irene GOC in Cumming, GA
with Faith Encouraged TV
  Christ tells us, before He is crucified, "unless you take up your cross and follow Me, you can't be my disciple." And then He goes as far as to say, "if you are ashamed of Me then I will be ashamed of us before my Father". Why will He be ashamed of us, because we have abandoned our fidelity to our Creator, to whom one day each of us will all give an account of our life?  And why is this happening, because we have forgotten God?

  Nicholas Thomas Mathes  March 1, 1934 - June 14, 2024 It is with sadness, but with hope in the Resurrection, that we inform you that our beloved brother in Christ, Nicholas Thomas Mathes "Nick", 90, of Winston-Salem, passed away peacefully in his home on June 14 surrounded by his family's love. Nick was born March 1, 1934 in Klapsi, Greece  to Thomas Nicholas  & Fotini Hamberis Mathes.  His early years were spent in his beloved village of Klapsi, where he expressed his adventurous and mischievous spirit accompanied by his equally mischievous friends, many of whom he remained close to until the end.
