Autumn Harvest Fest
The PTA of St. Sarkis Church Suzanne and Hovsep Hagopian
Saturday School organized an Autumn Harvest Fest on Saturday, October 22, 2016.
The Main Hall was nicely organized with pumpkins and filled with nearly 150 excited and happy attendees. Some children came dressed in costumes and all participated in fun activities.They enjoyed picking their own pumpkins and decorating them. They also decorated cupcakes and purchased yummy treats, cake pops and apple pies from the general store. Raffi Nenejian took memorable pictures of everyone at the beautifully decorated photo booth. Outdoors, the children enjoyed the pony ride and petting zoo which was the main attraction. For lunch, the PTA served lahmajoon, pizza, roasted corn on the cob and apple cider. This event allowed children of all ages to enjoy an afternoon with friends and family. We look forward to many more festive occasions at St. Sarkis!

THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS (1.1-14)
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment-to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of his glory.
ՊՕՂՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ ԵՓԵՍԱՑԻՆԵՐՈՒՆ (1.1-14)
Ես, Պօղոս, Աստուծոյ կամքով Յիսուս Քրիստոսի առաքեալը, կը գրեմ Եփեսոս բնակող եղբայրներուդ, Յիսուս Քրիստոսի հաւատացողներուդ: Թող Աստուած մեր Հայրը եւ Տէր Յիսուս Քրիստոս շնորհք եւ խաղաղութիւն պարգեւեն ձեզի:
Օրհնեալ է Աստուած, մեր Տիրոջ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի Հայրը, որ Քրիստոսով մեզ օրհնեց երկինքի մէջ ամէն տեսակի հոգեւոր օրհնութեամբ: Անիկա աշխարհի գոյութենէն իսկ առաջ մեզ ընտրած էր՝ Քրիստոսի միջոցաւ իրեն պատկանելու համար որպէս սուրբ եւ անարատ ժողովուրդ, եւ իր սիրով մեզ նախասահմանեց Յիսուս Քրիստոսի ձեռքով իր որդիները ըլլալու, որովհետեւ ա՛յդ էր իր կամքը եւ ծրագիրը:
Ուստի գովենք զինք այն փառքին համար որ մեզի շնորհեց իր սիրելի Որդիին միջոցաւ: Արդարեւ, անո՛վ փրկուեցանք եւ անոր արիւնով մեր մեղքերուն թողութիւն գտանք: Ո՜րքան մեծ է իր շնորհքը որ առատօրէն տուաւ մեզի՝ ամենայն իմաստութեամբ եւ գիտութեամբ: Որովհետեւ իր կամքին համաձայն մեզի յայտնեց շատ կանուխէն պատրաստ իր ծրագիրը, որ Քրիստոսով պիտի իրագործուի: Եւ այդ ծրագիրը սա է, որ երբ ժամանակները իրենց լրումին հասնին, Քրիստոս իրմով պիտի բովանդակէ ամէն ինչ որ կայ երկինքի մէջ եւ երկրի վրայ:
Աստուած, որ Քրիստոսով ամէն ինչ կը յաջողեցնէ ըստ իր առաջադրած ծրագրին եւ կամքին, առաջուց հրաւիրեց մեզ՝ իր ժողովուրդը ըլլալու եւ իր փառքը գովերգելու. մենք, որ Քրիստոսի յուսացողներուն առաջիններէն եղանք: Դուք ալ, երբ լսեցիք ճշմարիտ քարոզութիւնը, այսինքն Աւետարանը որ ձեզի փրկութիւն բերաւ, հաւատացիք Քրիստոսի եւ խոստացուած Սուրբ Հոգիով կնքուեցաք: Եւ Սուրբ Հոգին գրաւական է՝ թէ պիտի ժառանգենք Աստուծոյ խոստումը, եւ որպէս իր կողմէ փրկուած ժողովուրդ՝ իր փառքը գովերգենք:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE (8:17-21)
For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret secret that will not become known and come to light. Then pay attention to how you listen, for to those who have, more will be given, and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away."
Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you." But he said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՂՈՒԿԱՍՈՒ (8:17-21)
Մեր Տէրը Յիսուս Քրիստոս Կ՚ըսէ.-
«Չկայ ծածուկ բան մը որ չյայտնուի եւ կամ գաղտնի բան՝ որ չգիտցուի եւ երեւան չգայ: Ուրեմն ուշադիր եղէք թէ ինչպէս կ՚ընդունիք այս խօսքերը, որովհետեւ ունեցողին պիտի տրուի, իսկ չունեցողէն պիտի առնուի նոյնիսկ այն՝ ինչ որ կը կարծէ թէ ունի: Յիսուսի մայրն ու եղբայրները իրեն եկան, բայց խուռն բազմութեան պատճառով չկրցան իրեն մօտենալ:
Լուր տուին իրեն, ըսելով. Մայրդ եւ եղբայրներդ դուրսն են եւ կ՚ուզեն քեզ տեսնել: Յիսուս ըսաւ. Մայրս եւ եղբայրներս ասոնք են, որոնք Աստուծոյ խօսքը կը լսեն եւ կը գործադրեն:

ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM
On October 27, the Armenian Church commemorated and remembered St. John Chrysostom (Hovhan Voskeperan), a notable Christian bishop and preacher in Syria and Constantinople. He is famous for his eloquence-Chrysostom means "golden mouth." The Orthodox Church honors him as a saint and one of the "three holy hierarchs" (along with Basil the Great and Gregory the Theologian). He is also recognized and honored by the Catholic Church and the Church of England.
John converted to Christianity in 368 when he was barely 21 years old. He renounced a large inheritance and promising legal career and went to live in a mountain cave where he studied the Bible. He was later ordained a priest and soon his sermons were attracting huge audiences. He challenged wealthy Christians, whose generosity was confined to donating precious objects for display in churches. "The gift of a chalice may be extravagant in its generosity," he said, "but a gift to the poor is an expression of love."
His outspoken criticism was not appreciated by the hierarchy and he was sent into exile at various times. He had a profound influence on the doctrines and theology of the Armenian Church because he spent the final years of his exile in Armenia. Some of his important works have survived only in Armenian manuscripts.
Muse of the deep and ineffable Divine Mysteries.
Wise Prefect and Great Doctor of the world,
Like the rock of the Church, you were faithful to the key to heaven.
From the beloved disciple, you received the gospel.
From the Holy Virgin Birthgiver you received your symbol of authority.
O Patriarch John, by the grace of the Holy Spirit you received wisdom.
(An Armenian Church ode dedicated to St. John Chrysostom)
