2026 Living the Church Year as a Family Calendar: 

A Monthly Guide for Prayer, Worship, and Service.

This guide has been thoughtfully designed to help families deepen their faith and strengthen their connection to the life of the Armenian Church throughout the year. Each month offers meaningful and flexible opportunities for prayer, worship, Scripture reading, and acts of service that families can adapt to their unique circumstances, whether they include young children, teenagers, or adults.
