Rev. Fr. Andrew Koufopoulos
And the Faithful of St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, Durham, NC

My dearly beloved in the Lord,

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,as working for the Lord not for men.” Colossians 3:23

As we look forward to the beginning of a new Ecclesiastical year, I greet you in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, praying that you will be spiritually uplifted and renewed to serve the Lord with gladness!

I was delighted to receive the news article about the wonderful progress of the construction of your new Church. I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you and all that you have accomplished! Now we need to start thinking about scheduling your Thyranoixia! Please give me a call or we can discuss a date when I see you in Greensboro for the Dormition.

With love and prayers,I remain

Paternally yours,
+ALEXIOS
Metropolitan of Atlanta
