Fifth week of Lent
On Friday, April 5th the parishioners of St. Sarkis observed the fifth Lenten vesper service of the season. This vesper service was a little different because the front pews were filled with the children of the Salt & Light Ministries Program. They participated in the reading of the prayer Havadov Khosdovanim. Their beautiful voices were heard throughout the sanctuary; some read in English and some read very impressively in Armenian.
After the service was done those in attendance were very fortunate to hear a presentation by Siobhan Nash-Marshall, professor of philosophy and the Mary T. Clark Chair of Christian Philosophy at Manhattanville College New York.
She is the author of many academic books and articles and in recent years has devoted a lot of attention to genocide and its negations.
This brilliant women, who Der Nareg referred to as the most non- Armenian Armenian, spoke so meaningfully to those in attendance but mostly to the children. Her voice was full of compassion when she told the children it is not easy to be Armenian. She stated that many ethnicities have vanished off the face of the earth and how is it that the Armenians have survived all that they have gone through. She emphasized the importance of perseverance and to always be proud to be Armenian. She brought along with her two of her students who spent the last two summers in Artsakh.
Afterwards, those in attendance went downstairs to the main hall to enjoy fellowship and a Lenten meal prepared by Mrs. Jeanette Nenejian, Mrs. Sonya Nenejian and Mrs. Liza Kabarajian.
During dinner, Stephanie Havens and Avery Kaczka from Christians In Need Foundation spoke about their work in Artsakh. They thanked the community of St. Sarkis for supporting their mission in Artsakh. There was a spontaneous fundraiser and parishioners in attendance raised $5200 to support the mission of Christians in Need Foundation in Artsakh.
The final speaker of the evening was Antonia Arslan, the author of La Masseria delle Allodole (Skylark Farm). who serves on the advisory board of Christians in Need Foundation addresses St. Sarkis Church parishioners and thanked everyone for their generosity.
