    Dear Fathers, Thank you for saving my life on Palm Sunday, April 16, 2000. I'm not sure if you would believe it if I told you. But you can be sure that even though us listening on the Internet can't see you, hearing you can be enough. God Bless you all at Holy Cross!

    To Whom It May Concern- My father has recently had a stroke and spent three weeks in the hospital. He might recover but it is more than likely that he is in the last stages of Graves disease. It is heartbreaking that my father has not returned to Greece in over fifty years. He was sent from Athens to Chicago just after WWII ended because of the communist take over. As a result of the war my gradfather was bruitally murdered and my grandmother died of grief. This left my father an orphan with out a country and angry at God. I am glad that after all of these years my father will return to the church to make his peace with our Lord and hopefully gain forgiveness. Please pray for my father that he might find love for God once again as we remember our Lord's greatest sacrifice.

    An important "edit" could not be made, to change the error error I made: The third pargraph from the end should say, "There is no replacement to receiving the Sacraments in church." I am sorry I omitted the word "no". Serghi Serghis 4-8-2000

    I am grateful that during the aftermath of a small snowstorm in NJ at Sandy Hook, I was able to tune in to services. It is a welcome addition to those in nursing homes and those unable to go out to church on Sunday. I am grateful that I am well, and am one of the founders of Kimisis Tis Theotokou, in Holmdel, NJ. We started meeting in restuarants, then converted a school gymnasium into a church every Sunday. With the grace of God, and His beneficent guidance and spirit, we now have a beautiful Basilican style church; and the efforts of our parishioners and Fr George Dounelis, we are now planning many religious and cultural affairs to take place in our Community Center. I hope the people who were on the webb, and were unable to hear you, give it another try. When I was in Korea, in the late 50's, it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to get to St Nicholas in Seoul, Korea, and the Orthodox parish there that was built by the UN forces. Of course you know of the church, and the articles on the epitaphio that was returned there after more than 50 years of safekeeping, here in the US, that were in the Observer and the Missioary magazine. So the importance of your site to the armed services and those far from home, but of course, there is replacement to receiving the Sacraments, in person in church. But the webb certainly serves as an educational primer. Thanks, to all of you in silicon valley,and the churches, for making the spread of the internet, available to humanity. But for the Grace of god we'd be tuned into something else. Before signing off, I hope that the word is being spread on the GWHS Alumni Assn and the work it is doing, as mentioned 2 weeks ago, March 26th, when I first signed on as a visitor. Happy Easter to all. Serghi Serghis 4-9-2000

    I was thrilled to see that we have a website like this one for the Greek communities. It is very informative. I am an American of Greek descent. I am a member of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell, Massachusetts. Due to a devastating fire that happened last April 1999, which burned down to the ground. We will be rebuilding at a new location in Dracut, Massachusetts. We hope it will be completed by May of 2000, With the help of God we will get there. God Bless All

    Dear members of Belmont Holy Cross Church in Calif, I went into 'enter', and brought up the file, and everything came out fine, which I immediately printed. And I belong to George Washington HS Alumni Assn. in NYC, we are trying to regroup the former students, in some way so we can help the students and graduates with new prospects for their future, both ecomically and spiritually. I have took the initiative along with Almus Wilson, the Pres. of the Assn, and tried to reach the former students who lived in Washington Heights, NY, to enlist their aide as mentors, and teachers; the older generation has a lot to impart to the new, because of their experiences and knowledge. The area once abounded with Greek Orthodox, but since have moved away to NJ around other parts of the country and the world. I greatly appreciate the opportunity you are giving me to pass this message on. Our e-mail site is for wwwGWHSAlumni.org;or the president,Mr Almus Wilson in Pa at 1-570-643-3189. God Bless all of you again for all of the good works you are giving the people, especially your live broadcasts nad the tape recordings you sell through your book store. Serghi Serghis 3-26-2000-- Happy Greek Independence Day to all.

    I have your service in English nad I enjoyed the harmony very much on the tape. God bless you all for furthering the works our our Lord. By the way, I know how to click on 'file', then 'save as', the save in a certain folder, then to rename the new folder, and then to align left, all the words going over the right margin. But in netscape, is there anyway I can receive your messages without it going over the right margin? Thank you and God Bless. 3-26-2000

I believe in an active church not one dormant due to lack of zealousness on the part of the laity - we all have a responsibility to do evangilization - and with the Lords blessing our efforts will bear Fruit. your servant in Christ - Sava

    I looked on the web site for a way to request a stewardship form. I can't find a way to request it, or, perhaps I need to request it through a request like this. I'm not sure if it's required to formally register my contribution for the year. I have usually written a check to "Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross", but I normally don't use a "form" or "card" from Holy Cross. Lately, I'm staring to think that all the contributions that I've made over the years have not been formerly registered since I have not used this form. Geoge Kotsovolos

    I enjoyed listening to the service this morning. My first baby was born a week ago (a beautiful son) and we were unable to go to church in order to watch the baby. My parents from Milwaukee also are visiting us and we all listened to the litergy. We enjoyed it very much. My parents attend St Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox church in Milwaukee. My wife and I attend the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas Texas. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your parish this morning! Jim and Kathy Patterson Feb 2nd, 2000

    I am listening to your webcast of matins and liturgy this morning. We are suffering through a snow/ice storm this morning and services at my parish were cancelled. Thank you for this great evangelistic service. It is of benefit for all Orthodox people and I imagine it is also a good service for people considering conversion too. If I am ever in your area, I will be sure to visit.

    Dear friends. You should fight more activeley. If not the satanist powers will take over. The world situation is poor and critical. His Royal Higness, Duke of Edinburg have mentioned just few years ago for BBC that he is pessimistic about the Earth future. I tried to find out through the Constantinopol internet connection the Order of Constantin Great knights but I did not manage. Well if the Mountain will not visit Mohhamed. Mohhamed will not aither...

Having such a web presence is a key element in our community's readiness to face the new millennium. Over the next several months, I hope our entire Holy Cross family will consider additional Church needs, particularly the "crying" (literally) need for additional classroom space for our Sunday and Greek Schools, which, in turn, could be used by a Holy Cross Elementary School. I look forward with great anticipation to the future accomplishments of our truly special community.

    Hi Father Peter, I was on the net looking for where we could find Greek crosses (hard to find in Charlotte) and I typed in "Greek Cross" and your website came up. This is great! Eva, Sandra tells me that you designed it. It's fantantic. I see several old friends have signed on and if anyone is on - I hope you're all doing well. The Liaros family is all doing well in No. Carolina. I just had my second son, Matthew,

    Hello, I am from a protestant background. I have been studying church history, and studying all the different types of churches we have today. We are all brothers in Christ and we should all be one church. We all need to learn to work together for Christ. God's kingdom should not be divided. Let's all learn to work together for Christ; whether orthodox, lutheran, methodist, baptist, or church of christ. The world is confused by our divisions.

    I was unable to attend the midnight services this year. Thank you for your live broadcast. Now the emotion and immediacy of our Greek Orthodox services are heard worldwide. What a glorious time to be alive. I am a streaming media consultant for Microsoft - and intend to webcast full streaming video of the Easter services next year from our church, St. Nicholas - if only father Father Kezios will agree. If I can ever be of help with your page, I am at your service. Light a candle for my Father, George, and my uncle, Telly.

        Guadalajara, Mexico - Friday, April 09, 1999 at 21:45:41 (PDT)

    Christ has Risen... Truly he has risen, Despite the rigors of having their children attend two different colleges in the state of Ohio, my parents, Dr. Gus, and Linda Mouhlas, always made it a point to be with their children, John and Angela, during the Easter Holiday. However this year their oldest child, John (me) is studying medicine in Guadalajara, Mexico. I was extremely elated when I found your site on the internet because during my stay in Guadalajara, I have been without the aid of my church, its members, or our beliefs. I come form a small perish in Wheeling, West Virginia, a community in which everyone knows everyone else, a community in which the children grow up respecting their elders, and a community in which our Divine Leader, Father Sperio, preaches with energy and love for his community. Being without my family or community of 250 Greek Orthodox families, has been a hard experience for me; however, I am extremely pleased that innovative people like yourselves have made viewing the Divine Liturgy and other Feast Days possible. With all my love, JC Mouhlas

    I am a theology student in Melbourne, Aust. currently working on ecumenism and orthodox involvement. After several failed attempts to attend an orthodox service here I have indeed been blessed by the discovery of this site. As one who has merely 'read' a lot of literature about orthodox doctrine and practices it has been a privilege to listen to the beautiful Divine Liturgy. I will definitely be passing on info regarding this site to my fellow students.

    THANK YOU! Many thanks and much appreciation to Terry, Hilton, Fr. Peter, Fr.Chris, Chris Canellos, and the many others responsible for the outreach that your internet broadcast of the Sunday service provides. Being up quite late last night (morning?), and still needing to finish work on some systems here (and admittedly being lazy and sleeping in) I skipped out on church this morning, but remembered your broadcast. While it's not a substitute for going to church, at least it provides an opportunity to participate from a distance, and pray with you all during the service. Thank you steve pallad

    Fabulous website Fr. Peter and Holy Cross parish! I finally learned about your site from the Orthodox Observer. From looking through the guestbook (and seeing that old friends like Steve Pallad and even the Chairman of my Firm, George Shaheen, visited in 1997), it appears I'm a bit of a late-comer, but none the less blessed to now be a cyber-parishoner. Thank you for such a wonderful gift and keep up the great work.

    Glory to Jesus Christ ! Glory Forever ! I commend your congregation on the extensive web page. As an Ukrainian-Canadian Orthodox Christian studying at an American college, where I travel 110 miles (one way) to attend church, I often browse the vast amounts of information obtained on the net about Orthodoxy. I am particularly interested obtaining contemporary Orthodox Christian music. Recently, a friend told me of the works done from Jimmy Santis of your congregation. I would like to obtain his CD albums "Signs of Miracle" and Living Water". One could e-mail me back with information about where to obtain these CD's. My e-mail address is: God Bless your parish in the mission work as we strive towards our Salvation. With Christian Greetings.

My family and I go to St. John Greek Orthodox Church in Sterling Heights, and today, because of the massage snowstorm that hit the midwest, we just finished digging out our driveway and were unable to attend liturgy. But because of the beauty of time zones, we still we able to enjoy the liturgy today via the internet. Thank you again and may you have continued success with you parish and this web site.
