News from our Community-Parish
Baptisms
On Thursday 13th of January, the baptism of 24 year old Ms Susann Burnard took
place in our Church. The God-parent Theodora Zografos gave her the name
Susanna. The newly baptized Susanna had undergone basic catechism lessons.
We pray that the newly baptized Susann continues her spiritual growth and a
sacramental life. We wish illumintation from above to the God-parent so that she
may cousel and guide the newly illumined Susann according to the will of God.
On Saturday 15th of January the charming son of Mr John and Mrs Samar
Makrides was baptized in our Church. The God-father Mr Sotirios Bois gave him
the name Sebastian. May the parents of the newly-baptized rejoice in him always
joyful and close to God and may his God-father always be worthy and see him
married.
The Greek School of the Comm unity-Parish of Prophet Elias
This year, as you are probably aware, all the classes of our Greek School will be
under our own roof, behind our Church. Our classes offer comfort, security,
freedom, protection and quality. Students should understand that it is their own
school and they must take care of it and keep it clean. The Agiasmos for the new
school year will take place after Divine Liturgy on Sunday 6th February 2011.
N.B.!!!
Parents who wish to enrol their children in our Greek School must do so as soon
as possible. This will enable us to have books ready and to engage appropriate
teaching-staff. Late enrolment helps no-one. It is poor justification for parents to
say they didn’t know children could have been enrolled from last year; how can it

be that enrolment is sought for other schools early – sometimes even while the
child is in the belly of the mother! – and yet Greek School is neglected? And
since books take three weeks to arrive, what lessons can be taught in the
meantime? Furthermore, how can it be expected that children can be enrolled at
the last minute, since a teacher wouldn’t be available for that number? We havesecured teaching-staff for the number of students who have already enrolled.
Please act soon.
The programme for classes in 2011 is given below, along with starting date:
Every Tuesday: Pre-school – Yr 7, 4 pm – 7 pm, including dancing, beginning
Tuesday 8th
February.
Every Friday: Pre-school – Yr 7, 4 pm – 6.30 pm, including dancing, beginning

Every Saturday: Pre-school – Yr 7, 9 am – 12 noon, including dancing, beginning

Every Thursday: High School, 4 pm – 6 pm, beginning 10th February.
Remember that lessons in Greek language and dance are free. Only the books
must be bought; other contributions may be offered at the Annual Walkathon in
July and the Annual School Dance in September.
The Norwood Greek Festival
Since the Annual Glendi of Adelaide ceased last year, people have approached
us asking if we could stage something. We shall help as much as we can, they
said, just so long as something can be continued to unite the Greek community
and especially our children. The Executive Committee has looked long and hard
at the matter and, has made a decision. Mindful of the fact that there are many
functions in our area on the night, and in no way wishing to hinder the success of

any arrangements, nonetheless the proposal has been accepted to hold a
Festival on the Saturday of Apokreas, whatever the date each year. After much
consideration, we have agreed to start with something simple this year, see what
happens and make further decisions accordingly. The festival will be held in our
carpark on Saturday 26th February 2011. Special guests will open it at 6 pm and
it will finish, God willing, at 10.30 pm. The Organizing Committee, President,
Executive Committee, Philoptohos and Youth seek the support and assistance of
all our community in this endeavour. We thank everyone who has eagerly
promised to help in whatever way. Future Newsletters will announce the
donations which may be made to start off our programme.
The Norwood Greek Festival will be held on Saturday February 26, 2011, from
5.pm until 10.30pm at the large open space of our Community-Parish Car Park,
87 Beulah Road, Norwood.

same day called “Glendi”. This recreational event serves many purposes, but in
particular uniting us all and reaching out to the broader Community.

So come along with family and friends to a relaxing evening, under the shade of
the lush green trees, enjoying authentic Greek cuisine, a bottle of retsina and
having a go on the dance floor doing the ZORBA!
