St. Mark Armenian Church Sunday, May 12, 2013
Second Palm Sunday Mother’s Day
John 12:12-23
Magical Day of Shopping The 7th Annual “Magical Giving” event at the Holyoke Mall at Ingleside will be on Sunday, November 18 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. As in previous years, St. Mark will be selling tickets for $5, and all proceeds from our sales will go to our Church. Please ask for tickets to sell to friends, family and co-workers. This year the event will take place all day instead of during mall after-hours. It is a simple and effective way to raise funds for an organization. Holyoke Mall covers all overhead expenses and the charity keeps 100% of each $5 admission ticket sold.
The Triumphal Entry 12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.” Some Greeks Seek Jesus 20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
The Dos and Don’ts of Badarak: Do not cross your legs in Church—it is too casual and relaxed. Do not greet people and have conversations during Badarak, especially when approaching the Holy Chalice to receive Communion. Do turn off your cell phones before coming into Church. Do get rid of your gum before coming into Church.
Happy Birthday! Emil Tumasyan • Nicole Varteresian • Laura DuLuca • Akabe Boghosian • Laurel Vartabedian • Harry Zeroogian • Papken
