Our Church Hall Building Campaign is
still going strong! As of today, 163 donors
have given over $1,015,130 in pledges and
over $713,530 already paid into our
restricted account. We still need your
participation and pledges to take care of
contingencies. If you have not done so,
please mail in your pledge card. If you
have, please stay current with your
payments toward your pledge. If you have
any questions about the hall, contact
chairman Chuck Sarkisian. Our goal is to
involve everyone in this essential project—
and start building by Jan. 6, 2015!!

Church Armenian Word of the Day
Learn one word a week for a year, you’ll know 75% of words used in Badarak
մեջ | mech | in, midst
We use this word in perhaps the most significant phrase uttered during
Badarak: “Krisdos ee mech mer haydnetsav/“Christ in our midst has been
revealed.” The Christian God is not only a God above us, but a God who is
with us. He revealed himself in history as the Christ, reveals himself to his
church in Holy Communion and dwells within any soul which turns to him
in prayer. Our joyous response to his presence is truly fitting; “Orhnyal eh
haydnootyoonun Krisdosee/Blessed is the Revelation of Christ!”
Today’s Scripture Readings:
Isaiah 24:1-13; Ephesians 5:15-33; Luke 8:49-57

MEMBERSHIP/ARMENIA CHARITY DRIVE FOR 18-24 YR. OLDS
In order to encourage 18-24 yr. olds to
become active members of our church, and
supporters of Armenia, we've reduced
membership cost to just $50 per member this
year-and half the $ goes to a youth charity in
Armenia! Our goal is for every 18-24 year
old in our community to make membership
their first offering of Christian stewardship; for St. Hagop, for
Armenia and for our future! See parish council with any questions.
