The Gospel
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands.”
  But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was concealed from them, so that they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
  An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put it by his side, and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest.”
  John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us.”
  But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you.”

REORGANIZING AND EXPANDING OUR MISSION
At the Prelacy we spare no effort to modernize our capabilities to keep pace with the times. We are reorganizing and expanding our mission to strengthen the Church, the house of God and ours. The Membership Dues are one of the means to express your support. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
SEEKING SPONSORS FOR ORPHANS OF ARTSAKH HEROES AND MARTYRS

We still have 120 orphans of soldiers who died heroically during the Artsakh war in the waiting list of the Eastern Prelacy’s St. Nerses the Great Organization in Armenia. We are grateful to all our sponsors, both individuals and institutions, who make their annual contribution of $250 per child and support our efforts. When you contribute an amount that would buy less than a cup of coffee per day, you alleviate the financial burdens of the recipient and his or her family, but also boost their morale and make them feel that they are not alone. It is with this spirit that we are looking forward to finding new sponsors.
