The 13th session of St. Sarkis Church Summer Camp has reached a milestone. Now a decade into its existence, the St. Sarkis Church Summer Camp has grown to over 106 enthusiastic campers, 14 dedicated CIT's, plus 23 seasoned staff members that occupied the Main Hall.
Each day started with a healthy breakfast that energizes the campers, followed by a hearty lunch at noon, and a tasty snack before dismissal.
There was no shortage of fun all week. The campers painted masterpieces, had a great time in the Fun Bus, they were entertained by a Comedian then participated in a Comedy Workshop, they had a blast in the Bouncy Castle, improvised during drama class, fascinated by the Mad Science Show, participated in Lego Workshop, Coding and Robotics, enjoyed a Puppet Show then they made their own hand puppet out of a sock, discovered live animals, played a variety of outdoor sports.
Campers and staff participated in church time and learned more about their faith. Der Nareg taught the younger children the story of Noah and the Ark and explained to the older children the meaning of Sacraments. Interesting questions were asked from inquisitive campers. This made learning fun and created a greater attachment to their faith.
Stay tuned for more fun filled days at St. Sarkis Church Summer Camp!!!

A READING FROM THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL CORINTHIANS (1.25-30)
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not-to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
ՊՕՂՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ԱՌԱՋԻՆ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ ԿՈՐՆԹԱՑԻՆԵՐՈՒՆ ( 1.25-30)
Աստուծոյ տնօրինութիւնը, որ յոյներ յիմարութիւն կ՚որակեն, իմաստնագոյն է քան մարդկային ոեւէ իմաստութիւն. եւ Աստուծոյ խաչը, որ հրեաներ տկարութիւն կը համարեն, աւելի զօրեղ է քան մարդկային ամէն զօրութիւն:
Եղբայրներ, դուք ձեզմէ դատեցէք. ինչ էիք երբ Աստուած ձեզ կանչեց: Ձեզմէ քանի՞ն իմաստուն, հզօր կամ ազնուատոհմ էին մարդկային չափանիշներով: Բայց Աստուած դիտմամբ ընտրեց այն ինչ որ այս աշխարհը յիմար եւ անիմաստ կը գտնէ, անով իմաստունները ամօթով ձգելու համար. ընտրեց այն ինչ որ այս աշխարհը տկար կը համարէ, անով հզօրները ամչցնելու համար. եւ ընտրեց այն ինչ որ այս աշխարհը անարժէք, արհամարհելի եւ ոչնչութիւն կը նկատէ, անով ոչնչացնելու համար այս աշխարհի մեծութիւնները: Եւ ասիկա՝ որպէսզի ոեւէ մարդ չպարծենայ Աստուծոյ առջեւ, որովհետեւ Աստուած ինքն է որ ձեզ բերաւ Քրիստոսի միացուց, եւ մենք Քրիստոսով ճանչցանք Աստուծոյ իմաստութիւնը եւ գտանք մեր արդարութիւնը, սրբութիւնը եւ փրկութիւնը:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MATTHEW (18.10-14)
"See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՄԱՏԹԷՈՍԻ (18.10-14)
Զգոյշ, մի՛ արհամարհէք այս փոքրիկներէն ոեւէ մէկը. գիտցէք որ անոնց հրեշտակները երկինքի մէջ միշտ կը տեսնեն իմ երկնաւոր Հայրս: Որովհետեւ մարդու Որդին եկաւ կորսուածը փրկելու համար:
Ի՞նչ կը կարծէք. եթէ մարդ մը իր հարիւր ոչխարներէն մէկը կորսնցնէ, չի՞ ձգեր իննսունինը ոչխարները լերան վրայ եւ չե՞րթար փնտռելու կորսուած ոչխարը: Այո, կ՚երթայ: Եւ եթէ պատահի որ գտնէ, վստահ եղէք որ աւելի կ՚ուրախանայ այդ ոչխարին համար, քան թէ իննսունինը ոչխարներուն համար որոնք կորսուած չեն: Նմանապէս ալ Հայրս, որ երկինքի մէջ է, չÿուզեր որ այս փոքրիկներէն մէկը կորսուի:

SAINTS THADDEUS AND SANDUKHT
This Saturday, July 14, the Armenian Church commemorates Saint Thaddeus, one of two apostles who preached in Armenia, and Saint Sandukht, daughter of King Sanadrouk, and the first saint of the Armenian Church. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two-Thaddeus and Sandukht-were pioneers in bringing Christianity to Armenia in the first century.
Princess Sandukht was converted to Christianity by Thaddeus, and she in turn converted many others. Her father tried to have her renounce her conversion and finally gave her a choice of the crown or the sword. She chose the sword and became the first witness for Christianity in Armenia and the first saint of the Armenian Church. Shortly after her martyrdom, Thaddeus was martyred at Artaz (in present day northern Iran). The Armenian monastery of St. Thaddeus is built on the apostle's tomb. During the early 20
th
century the monastery was an important crossroads for travelers and pilgrims. A popular annual pilgrimage by Armenians from around the world takes place in July. During the four-day festival thousands gather in tents pitched on the monastery grounds.
SAINT CYPRIAN THE BISHOP AND 45 MARTYRS
On Monday, July 16, the Armenian Church commemorates St. Cyprian (Gibrianos), bishop of Carthage, and 45 martyrs. Cyprian was an important early Christian writer, and a major theologian of the early African church. Many of his works in Latin have survived. One of his best known works is, On the Unity of the Church. Many of his epistles, treatises, and pastoral letters are extant. He urged Christians to recite the Lord's Prayer every day, meditating on each phrase. He wrote a commentary on the Lord's Prayer showing how it is the model for prayer.
B
orn in the year 200, he was the son of wealthy parents and became a teacher of rhetoric and literature. He converted to Christianity in his middle years and was ordained a priest and elected to serve as bishop of Carthage. He was subject to persecution after his conversion and in the year 258 was beheaded along with forty-five martyrs.
"When we pray, we should ensure that we understand the words we use. We should be humble, aware of our own weaknesses, and be eager to receive God's grace. Our bodily posture and our tone of voice should reflect the fact that through prayer we enter God's presence. To speak too loudly to God would be impudent; thus a quiet and modest manner is appropriate. The Lord has instructed us that we should usually pray in private, even in our own bedrooms. This reminds us that God is everywhere, that he hears and sees everything, and that he penetrates the deepest secrets of our hearts."
(From "On the Lord's Prayer," by Cyprian of Carthage)
Also remembered this week:
Tuesday, July 17: St. Athenogenes the Bishop, ten disciples and five witnesses.
