Simply Christmas 2015
Reported By Dr. Louiza Kubikian
Beautifully decorated with cream poinsettias lining the aisle and adorning the altar, St. Sarkis Church was ready to welcome parishioners and friends to what has become the season's favorite tradition, "Simply Christmas"
This year, the performers were an instrumental sextet led by Mrs. Elisabeth Kalfayan on cello and her sister Mrs. Ana Kouyoumdjian, soprano. The program included renditions of classical music by the sextet, several classical songs sung by Mrs. Kouyoumdjian and Armenian Christmas Hymns performed by St. Sarkis Choir. Afterwards, the guests joined the performers for Sing-Along Christmas Carols. There was an enchanting atmosphere of holiday spirit ushering this year's holidays with everyone in a festive mood. Record crowds attended the concert with many visiting our church for the first time. Simply Christmas was a free event for the public and production costs were covered by many generous donors.
Afterwards, over 160 guests attended the reception prepared by the Ladies Guild of St. Sarkis Church. An unforgettable day for the performers, all those who helped organize it and everyone who attended.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
