On Wednesday, November 20th, St.Sarkis church hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering for the “Sages of All Ages” group. Starting at 10:30am, the room quickly filled as 60 eager women and men who look forward to this day - once a month - just for them. It was nice to look around the room to see everyone greet each other, meet new friends, set up tavloo games, grab a cup of coffee and a small bite and settle in as the day started. This month’s entertainment included a lovely piano and flute duet, Mrs. Nevart Dadourian & Mr. Stepan Dadourian. The familiar melodies they beautifully performed filled the air with feelings of nostalgia and brought smiles and singalongs to the impressed audience. The musical duo ended strong with a crowd favorite - Yervan Tartsadz. A delightful Thanksgiving feast lunch was then served. An abundance of homemade delicacies were prepared and served by the committee members of whom we are extremely blessed to have. Father Nareg blessed the table and gave his message to the room of believers. We are very thankful to have such a caring and personable priest at St. Sarkis church. We started our first course with a tasty Pumpkin soup. Mrs. Arpi Bezdikian cooked a tremendous turkey to ensure that the Sages truly have an authentic American traditional Thanksgiving meal. A lavish spread of side dishes accompanied the main dish, consisting of salad, sweet potatoes, stuffing, pilav, cranberry sauce & string beans. Shortly after lunch, Bingo cards and markers were handed out on the tables, and the games began. Our winners chose a gift from the bingo prize table which consisted of Thanksgiving themed potholder/towel sets & Bath & Bodyworks liquid hand soaps donated by our very own Ms. Lori Varjabedian along with mini boxed cakes, festive cans of chocolate covered nuts & scratch off lotto tickets. After Bingo it was time for dessert - an extravagant array of homemade pies, cookies, tarts & a stunning artistic fruit display made by Mrs. Svetlana Indzhigulyan. We are so thankful for the committee members and dedicated volunteers who made this day possible and for our wonderful guests who enjoy attending this monthly event. Happy Thanksgiving!
