Salt & Light Youth Group Meets Tonight
|
This Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day commemorating the end of the Great War we now know as World War I. More than 10 million soldiers died by the time the armistice was declared on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, and an estimated 20 million were wounded, many maimed for life by the prevalent use of chemical weapons (mustard gas).
During the 1950s there was a movement to change the name of the holiday to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans, living and dead. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower made it official by signing a bill designating November 11 as Veterans Day. In 1968, during the era when holidays were moved to Mondays to create long weekends, Veterans Day was changed to the fourth Monday of October. There was a great outcry of protest from veterans and civilians alike because the significance of the Armistice and the number 11 was now totally lost. Ten years later Congress returned the observance to its traditional date, November 11, where it remains.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." (Joseph Campbell)

The Saint Sarkis Suzanne and Hagop Armenian Saturday School had its Autumn Harvest Festival on November 4
th
. We are thankful to God because the weather was beautiful for this event. The event started with pizza and Laghmajoon and then the fun started. For the children there were stations set up for Apple Dipping, Cupcake Decorating, taking photos and Pumpkin Decorating. There were also Sack races outside while we waited for the pony and other petting zoo animals to arrive. The kids had a great time riding the pony and also enjoyed petting the different animals that came to visit.
We had a beautifully set up general store for the Festival with homemade apple and pumpkin pies, along with orange peel, cranberry and raspberry jams. They looked and tasted so good that we were all sold out by the end of the event. We also had homemade organic pumpkin coffee latte scrubs that were flying off the shelf. For the parents we had a station for autumn flavored beer. Overall the event was successful and all who attended had a wonderful time. We want to thank the PTA for their continued support and hard work to make all the events magical.

THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS (5.15-33)
Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
ՊՕՂՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ ԵՓԵՍԱՑԻՆԵՐՈՒՆ (5.15-33)
Հետեւաբար ձեր ապրելակերպին ուշադրութիւն ըրէք: Մի՛ ապրիք անմտօրէն, այլ իմաստուններու պէս: Օգտագործեցէ՛ք ժամանակը, որովհետեւ այս օրերը չար են: Ուստի անմտութիւն մի՛ ընէք. հասկցէք թէ ի՛նչ կ՚ուզէ Տէրը ձեզմէ: Գերին մի՛ դառնաք գինիին որ անառակութեան կը տանի. այլ մասնաւորաբար Սուրբ Հոգիով լեցուեցէք, իրարու հետ սաղմոսներով, օրհնութիւններով ու հոգեւոր երգերով խօսեցէք, եւ ձեր սիրտերուն մէջ միշտ երգեցէք ու սաղմոս ըսէք Տիրոջ: Տեւաբար, ամէն բանի համար շնորհակալութիւն յայտնեցէք Հօր Աստուծոյ, մեր Տիրոջ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի անունով:
Քրիստոսի հանդէպ ձեր պատկառանքը արտայայտեցէք՝ իրարու հնազանդելով: Կինե՛ր, հնազանդեցէ՛ք ձեր ամուսիններուն, ինչպէս Տիրոջ պիտի հնազանդէիք. որովհետեւ ամուսին մը իր կնոջ գլուխն է, այնպէս ինչպէս Քրիստոս գլուխն է եկեղեցիին՝ իր մարմնին, որուն փրկիչն է ինք: Հետեւաբար, ինչպէս եկեղեցին Քրիստոսի կը հնազանդի, այնպէս ալ կիները ամէն բանի մէջ իրենց ամուսիններուն թող հնազանդին:
Այրե՛ր, սիրեցէ՛ք ձեր կիները այնպէս՝ ինչպէս Քրիստոս սիրեց եկեղեցին եւ իր կեանքը տուաւ անոր համար, որպէսզի ջուրի լուացումով զայն մաքրէ եւ իր խօսքով սրբէ, այնպէս մը՝ որ եկեղեցին իրեն ներկայանայ ամբողջական փառքով, առանց ոեւէ արատի կամ խորշոմի կամ ուրիշ թերութեան, այլ ըլլայ սուրբ եւ անարատ: Ճիշդ նոյն ձեւով ամուսիններ պարտին իրենց կիները սիրել որպէս իրենց մարմինը. որովհետեւ կինը սիրողը ինքզինք սիրած կþըլլայ, եւ չկայ մէկը որ ինքզինք ատէ. ամէն մարդ ալ կը սնուցանէ եւ կը խնամէ իր մարմինը, ինչպէս Քրիստոս կը սնուցանէ ու կը խնամէ եկեղեցին՝ իր մարմինը, որուն անդամներն ենք բոլորս, անոր մարմինէն ու ոսկորներէն: Սուրբ Գիրքին մէջ գրուած է. «Ահա այս պատճառով այրը պիտի թողու իր հայրն ու մայրը եւ իր կնոջ միանայ, եւ երկուքը մէկ մարմին պիտի ըլլան»: Մեծ խորհուրդ մը ունի իր մէջ այս խօսքը, որ ես Քրիստոսի եւ եկեղեցիին համար ըսուած կը կարծեմ: Բայց նոյնը կը վերաբերի նաեւ ձեզմէ իւրաքանչիւրին, որովհետեւ իւրաքանչիւր այր պէտք է իր կինը սիրէ իր անձին պէս, եւ ամէն կին պէտք է յարգէ իր ամուսինը:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE (8.49-57)
While he was still speaking, someone came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
When Jesus heard this, he replied, "Do not fear, Only believe, and she will be saved."
When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. They were all weeping and wailing for her, but he said, "Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took her by the hand and called out, "Child, get up." Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed them to give her something to eat. Her parents were astounded; but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՂՈՒԿԱՍՈՒ (8.49-57)
Մինչ Յիսուս կը խօսէր, ժողովրդապետին տունէն մէկը եկաւ եւ ըսաւ. «Աղջիկդ մեռաւ, այլեւս մի՛ յոգնեցներ վարդապետը»:
Յիսուս ասիկա լսելով, ըսաւ ժողովրդապետին. «Մի՛ վախնար, միայն հաւատա՛ եւ աղջիկդ պիտի ապրի»:
Երբ Յիսուս ժողովրդապետին տունը հասաւ, չձգեց որ ոեւէ մէկը ներս մտնէ՝ բացի Պետրոսէն, Յակոբոսէն, Յովհաննէսէն եւ աղջկան հօրմէն ու մօրմէն: Ներս գտնուողները բոլորն ալ կու լային ու կþողբային: Յիսուս ըսաւ անոնց. «Մի՛ լաք. աղջիկը մեռած չէ, այլ կը քնանայ»: Անոնք զինք կը ծաղրէին, որովհետեւ գիտէին որ աղջիկը մեռած է: Յիսուս բոլորն ալ դուրս հանեց, բռնեց աղջկան ձեռքէն եւ բարձրաձայն ըսաւ. «Ո՛վ փոքրիկ, ոտքի՛ ել»: Անմիջապէս անոր հոգին վերադարձաւ եւ ոտքի կանգնեցաւ: Ապա Յիսուս հրամայեց որ ուտելիք տան աղջկան, մինչ ծնողքը ապշահար եղած էր: Յիսուս անոնց պատուիրեց որ պատահածին մասին ոեւէ մէկուն բան չըսեն:

This Saturday, November 11, the Armenian Church commemorates the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The word "angel" (hreshdag) means messenger. Archangel is a title given to an angel of high rank in the celestial hierarchy. Michael and Gabriel are the only angels given the title archangel in the Bible.
Michael (Hebrew meaning "Who is like God") is the prince of all angels and the leader of the celestial armies. He is considered to be the protector of Christians in general and soldiers in particular, and the guardian of the orthodox faith and defender against heresies.
Gabriel (Hebrew meaning "Strength of God") is one of God's chief messengers. He was God's messenger to Daniel to explain his vision (Daniel 8:16-26) and prophecy (Daniel 9:21-27). He foretold the birth of John the Baptist and was the messenger announcing the forthcoming birth of Christ (Luke 1:11-21).
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2)
