The community of St. Sarkis Church launched the Alpha Film Series last Sunday, October 16 following church services. Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.
The first session "Is There More To Life Than This?" laid the foundation of the series. Over 70 parishioners attended and participated in the discussions following the presentation. His Grace Anoushavan Tanielian, Vicar General attended the first session and encouraged all participants to continuously attend the program.

| A New Season For The Youth Club |
On Friday, October 14, 2016, the usual vibrant group of 20 young people gathered for Connect. The evening started by sitting around the round tables and catching up on their week while enjoying
Lahmajoon and salad. They watched Episode 4: Faith how can I have faith? After the clip, key topics were discussed where everyone was engaged and participated. One of the questions was, how can God love people no matter what they have done? The night ended with live music and live singing from our talented members; Karina Vartanian and Anthony Marino.
A big thank you to Gregg Dosttur for lending his instruments and contributing to a great evening! Connect would also like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Marino for their generous gift for sponsoring this week's meal.
Would like to remind everyone that our upcoming session is scheduled for the following Friday, October 21st

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 1.18-24
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
ՊՕՂՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ԱՌԱՋԻՆ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ ԿՈՐՆԹԱՑԻՆԵՐՈՒՆ 1.18-24
Խաչելութեան մասին խօսիլը յիմարութիւն կը թուի կորսուողներուն համար, մինչ մեզի՝ փրկութեան դիմողներուս համար Աստուծոյ զօրութիւնն է անիկա: Արդարեւ մարգարէութեան մէջ գրուած է.
«Իմաստուններուն իմաստութիւնը պիտի խափանեմ, խելացիներու խելքը պիտի կորսնցնեմ»:
Այն ատեն ո՞ւր պիտի մնան իմաստունները կամ ուսեալները եւ կամ այս աշխարհի հարցերը քննող ճարտասանները: Չէ՞ որ Աստուած ցոյց տուաւ թէ այս աշխարհի իմաստութիւնը յիմարութիւն է: Որովհետեւ աշխարհը իր ունեցած իմաստութեամբ չկրցաւ ճանչնալ զԱստուած եւ անոր իմաստութիւնը, Աստուած ուզեց յիմարութիւն համարուած խաչին քարոզութեամբ փրկել հաւատացողները: Եւ քանի հրեաներ հրաշք կ՚ուզեն, իսկ յոյներ իմաստութիւն կը փնտռեն, մենք խաչուած Քրիստոսը կը քարոզենք, որ գայթակղութիւն է հրեաներուն համար եւ յիմարութիւն՝ հեթանոսներուն համար, թէպէտ նոյն այդ հրեաներէն եւ յոյներէն կանչուածները եւ դարձի եկածները Քրիստոսը կ՚ընդունին որպէս Աստուծոյ զօրութիւնը եւ Աստուծոյ իմաստութիւնը:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 24.27-36
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
"Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՄԱՏԹԷՈՍԻ 24.27-36
Մարդու Որդին պիտի գայ կայծակի նման, որ երբ փայլատակէ՝ կը լուսաւորէ ամբողջ երկնակամարը, արեւելքէն արեւմուտք: Արծիւները կը հաւաքուին հոն ուր դիակ կայ:
Նեղութեան այդ օրերէն անմիջապէս ետք արեւը պիտի խաւարի եւ լուսինը այլեւս պիտի չփայլի. երկինքէն աստղերը պիտի իյնան եւ երկնային մարմինները պիտի սասանին: Ահա մարդու Որդիին նշանը պիտի երեւի երկինքի մէջ, եւ աշխարհի բոլոր ժողովուրդները պիտի ողբան, երբ տեսնեն մարդու Որդին որ կու գայ երկինքի ամպերուն վրայ բազմած՝ զօրութեամբ եւ մեծ փառքով: Երբ մեծաձայն փողը հնչէ, ան իր հրեշտակները պիտի ղրկէ, որպէսզի հաւաքեն իր ընտրեալները աշխարհի չորս կողմերէն, երկինքի մէկ ծայրէն մինչեւ միւսը: Թզենին թող ձեզի օրինակ ըլլայ: Երբ տեսնէք որ անոր ճիւղերը կը կակուղնան եւ տերեւ կ՚արձակեն, գիտէք թէ ամառը մօտ է: Նոյնպէս ալ, երբ բոլոր ըսածներս կատարուին, գիտցէք թէ մարդու Որդիին գալուստը մօտ է: Վստա՛հ եղէք, որ այս սերունդը չանցած՝ ասոնք բոլորը պիտի պատահին: Նոյնիսկ եթէ երկինքն ու երկիրը անհետանան, խօսքերս պիտի չանհետանան:
Սակայն ո՛չ ոք գիտէ թէ ե՛րբ պիտի գայ այդ օրը կամ ժամը. ո՛չ երկինքի հրեշտակները, ո՛չ իսկ Որդին, բայց՝ միայն Հայրը:

TWELVE HOLY TEACHERS OF THE CHURCH
On Saturday, October 22, the Armenian Church remembers the Twelve Holy Teachers (Doctors) of the Church, namely: Hierotheus of Athens, Dionysius the Areopagite, Sylvester of Rome, Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Jerusalem, Ephrem the Syrian, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory the Theologian, Epiphanius of Cyprus, John Chrysostom, and Cyril of Alexandria.
FEAST OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE HOLY CROSS
This Sunday, October 23, the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Discovery of the Holy Cross (Giut Khatchi). Empress Helena, mother of Constantine and a devout Christian, wanted to visit the
Holy Land and explore the sites Christ had walked centuries ago. She went to Golgotha (Calvary), which had become an obscure and neglected place. According to some chronicles, it was an informed Jew named Juda who pointed out the location. At her instruction, workers excavated the site and three wooden crosses were found. Which one was the True Cross? The three crosses were successively placed on the body of a youth who had just died. When one of the crosses was placed on him, the young man came back to life. This was determined to be the True Cross. The commemoration of this event takes place on the Sunday closest to October 25, and can vary from October 23 to 29.
The cross is a great source of pride for Armenians and they have created beautiful works of art using the cross. What once was a means of death became a symbol of salvation and victory.
