HESGOUM - A Vigil
PTA EASTER BRUNCH
Mrs. Lena Felice
On Easter Eve, April 16th, the church was full of families and children for the Holy Communion. After the beautiful and brief service, everyone headed to the Main Hall for the Easter Brunch festivities. The venue was beautifully decorated with colorful centerpieces and the tables were set for over 100 attendees. The buffet tables were set up with an abundance of goodies prepared by our PTA chairs.

There was an assortment of savory and sweet items and much more! The entertainment crew and Easter Bunny gave a wonderful presentation to an amazed and mesmerized audience. The Church staff had prepared appealing and very thoughtful gift baskets that were auctioned off - it was a huge hit! Afterwards, the children took turns taking pictures with the adorable Easter Bunny.

Overall the event was a success and it was great to see so many happy children (and parents) gathered together to celebrate this special day.
EASTER EVE DINNER & FAMILY NIGHT
Dr. Louiza Kubikian
Similar to Christ’s resurrection on Easter Eve, St. Sarkis Church came alive on Saturday night with a bountiful dinner prepared by the mothers of Salt & Light members and AYF Hyortik Seniors. Over 110 children and adults attended this celebration of life. The menu included the traditional colored eggs, with everyone trying their luck, a charcuterie board, other delicious preparations and the traditional salmon broiled to perfection by chef Harry Milian. A few Salt & Light members helped serve the guests with their moms, AYF Hyortik Seniors played some fun games with the children, and the crowds were entertained by DJ Harout.

It was a wonderful introduction to spring, the season of rejuvenation and new life.
Well done ladies and congratulations to all of you for your hard work.
Happy Easter
Christos Hariav I Merelots

HONORING THE PAST
This year marks the 60th Anniversary of St Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church in Douglaston.
Each week we will be highlighting an event from the past sixty years.
We hope you enjoy reminiscing! 
April 22, 2022 St. Sarkis Church mourns the passing of Mrs. Suzanne Hagopian October 28, 1995
A very gracious lady, Mrs. Suzanne Hagopian was a highly devoted Board of Trustees Member of St. Sarkis Church for many years, and a lady, who many of us regarded really as the queen mother of our Congregation. Although very modest in her demeanor, Mrs. Hagopian was a National Benefactor with many Armenian Institutions benefitting from her generous heart. And yet, she always avoided speaking about her contributions because she believed that the cause was important, and not the person.

She generously contributed toward the construction of the “Suzanne and Hovsep Hagopian Saturday Language School” at the newly consecrated St. Sarkis Church and there was never an opportunity that she overlooked to volunteer her time, counsel and financial support in our various Church activities. In recognition of her outstanding service to the Armenian Church, Mrs. Hagopian was made a Princess of Cilicia by His Holiness Karekin II in 1987. The Prelacy honored her as the Woman of the Year in 1985, and the Hamazkain Armenian Educational and Cultural Association honored her in 1991.

Mrs. Suzanne Hagopian's deep commitment to the welfare and financial survival of St. Sarkis Church was expressed through many generous donations. But none was more symbolic of her motherly love for St. Sarkis Church, as was her final and eternal gift. Upon her death, she bequeathed part of her estate to the Church and School thus securing its perpetual spiritual and financial welfare. We are honored to have known Suzanne and Hovsep Hagopian, an extraordinary couple, whose generosity has allowed the church to continue its mission of spiritual service to the Armenian community and whose loving memory has left an imprint in our hearts.
We are excited to announce that on Sunday, May 15, 2022, we will be celebrating the "60th Anniversary of St Sarkis Church at St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church.

We look forward to celebrating this joyous occasion together!
SALT & LIGHT YOUTH GROUP
On Good Friday, before the church services took place, we had our wonderful Salt and Light youth group help assemble the Home Blessing boxes. They were then blessed on Easter and given to all our church families.

It is so heartwarming to see the future of our church, our youth, care so much about their faith and giving back to their community.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Due to April 24th Commemoration
we are canceling Sunday School this week.
LITURGICAL CALENDAR
NEW SUNDAY
This Sunday, April 24, is New Sunday (Nor Giragi). Easter Sunday is followed by a period of fifty days (Hinoonk) from the Resurrection to Pentecost (Hokekaloosd) dedicated to the glorification of the Resurrection. Each of the seven Sundays of Hinoonk has a special name. This Sunday is also called Second Easter (Grgnazadig), which literally means “Easter repeated,” because it is the eighth day of Easter and a day similar to Easter in readings and hymns.
SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY
THE EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE (5.1-11)
Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.  
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.  
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.  
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
  
ՅԱԿՈԲՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ԸՆԴՀԱՆՐԱԿԱՆ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ (3.1-12)
Եղբայրնե՛րս, ամէնքդ ալ ուրիշները սրբագրելու հետամուտ մի՛ ըլլաք, գիտնալով որ մենք՝ ուսուցանողներս, աւելի խստութեամբ պիտի դատուինք, որովհետեւ բոլորս ալ յանցանքներ ունինք:
Ան որ գիտէ իր խօսքերը կշռել՝ կատարեալ մարդ է, ինքզինքին իշխելու կարող: Տե՛ս, թէ ի՛նչպէս ձիերուն բերանը սանձ կը դնենք, որպէսզի մեզի ենթարկուին, եւ անով ձիուն բոլոր շարժումները կը կառավարենք: Կամ դիտէ՛ նաւերը. ո՛րքան ալ մեծ ըլլան եւ ինչպիսի՛ զօրաւոր հովերէ ալ
քշուին, փոքրիկ ղեկ մը զիրենք կ’ուղղէ դէպի հոն՝ ուր նաւավարը կը փափաքի տանիլ: Նոյնպէս ալ լեզուն. թէեւ փոքր անդամ մըն է, բայց մեծամեծ բաներով կը պարծենայ: Գիտէք, թէ պզտիկ կայծը հսկայ անտառ մը կրնայ հրդեհել: Լեզուն ալ կրակ է: Անիրաւութեան աշխարհ մըն է անիկա: Թէեւ պարզ մէկ անդամն է մարմինին, բայց ամբողջ մարդը կ’ապականէ, եւ գեհենի կրակով բռնկած՝ մեր ամբողջ կեանքը կրակով կը վառէ:
Բոլոր տեսակի գազանները, թռչունները, սողունները եւ ծովային կենդանիները նուաճուած են մարդուն կողմէ եւ կը հնազանդին անոր: Բայց ո՛չ ոք կրնայ հնազանդեցնել մարդկային լեզուն, որ չար է, անզսպելի եւ մահացու թոյնով լեցուն: Անով կ’օրհնենք մեր Տէրը եւ Հայրն Աստուած, եւ
դարձեալ անով կ’անիծենք մարդիկը, որոնք Աստուծոյ նմանութեամբը ստեղծուած են: Այսինքն՝ նոյն բերանէն կ’ելլեն թէ՛ օրհնութիւնը եւ թէ՛ անէծքը: Ասիկա ճիշդ չէ՛ սակայն, եղբայրնե՛րս: Միթէ աղբիւր մը միեւնոյն ակէն քաղցր եւ դառն ջուր կը բղխէ՞: Կարելի՞ բան է, եղբայրնե՛րս, որ թզենին ձիթապտուղ տայ կամ որթատունկը՝ թուզ: Նմանապէս կարելի չէ որ աղուտ հողէն քաղցր ջուր բղխի:


THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN (1.1-17)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.  
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.  
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.  
John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
  
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՅՈՎՀԱՆՆԷՍԻ (1.1-17)
Աշխարհի ստեղծագործութենէն առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր Բանը: Բանը Աստուծոյ հետ էր եւ Բանը Աստուած էր: Անիկա սկիզբէն Աստուծոյ հետ էր: Անով էր որ Աստուած ամէն ինչ ստեղծեց. առանց անոր ո՛չ մէկ բան ստեղծեց: Կեանքը անով սկիզբ առաւ: Եւ կեանքը մարդոց համար լոյսն է, որ խաւարին մէջ կը փայլի. բայց խաւարը չկրցաւ հասկնալ զայն:
Յովհաննէս, որ Աստուծոյ կողմէ ղրկուած մարդ մըն էր, եկաւ Լոյսին համար վկայութիւն տալու, որպէսզի ամէն մարդ անոր միջոցաւ հաւատայ: Ինք Լոյսը չէր, այլ՝ Լոյսին համար վկայ մը: Բանն էր ճշմարիտ Լոյսը, որ աշխարհ գալով՝ կը լուսաւորէ ամբողջ մարդկութիւնը: Աշխարհի մէջ էր անիկա, աշխարհը իրմով ստեղծուեցաւ, սակայն աշխարհը զինք չճանչցաւ: Իր իսկ ստեղծած աշխարհը եկաւ, բայց իր իսկ ստեղծած մարդիկը զինք չընդունեցին: Իսկ զինք ընդունողներուն եւ իրեն հաւատացողներուն իշխանութիւն տուաւ Աստուծոյ որդիներ ըլլալու. ո՛չ արեան ճամբով եւ ո՛չ մարմինի կամ մարդկային կամքով, այլ՝ Աստուծմէ ծնելով:
Եւ Բանը մարմին եղաւ եւ մեր միջեւ բնակեցաւ, եւ մենք տեսանք անոր փառքը. փառքը Միածինին, որ Հօրմէն եկաւ՝ շնորհքով եւ ճշմարտութեամբ լեցուն:
Յովհաննէս անոր մասին վկայեց, յայտարարելով.
– Ասիկա է ան՝ որուն մասին կ’ըսէի. «Ան որ ինձմէ ետք պիտի գայ՝ ինձմէ մեծ է, որովհետեւ ինձմէ առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր»:
Անոր լիառատ շնորհքէն է որ մենք բոլորս շնորհքի վրայ շնորհք ստացանք. որովհետեւ Օրէնքը Մովսէսի միջոցաւ տրուեցաւ, մինչ շնորհքն ու ճշմարտութիւնը՝ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի միջոցաւ:
