ST. PETER ARMENIAN CHURCH & YOUTH MINISTRIES’ CENTER

632 W. STOCKER ST. · GLENDALE, CA 91202

Jesus asked the Disciples, “Who do YOU say that I am?”

Peter responded “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”

Jesus promised the Keys to the Kingdom for this profession of faith. (Mt 16) At

the St. Peter, Glendale Parish, our faith and actions are based on that same pro-

fession of faith. It is the Key that opens the doors to our journey as Christians...

From our Parish Priest...

Dear Parishioners This first week of October, in the Arme-nian Church, is dedicated to the 72 Disciples of Christ (from Luke 10). This week also signals the beginning of “National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.” President Obama wrote this year, “For far too long, domestic violence was ignored or treated as a private matter where victims were left to suffer in silence without hope of intervention… While government must do its part, all Americans can play a role in ending domestic violence. Each of us can promote healthy relationships, speak out when we see injustice in our communities, stand with sur-vivors we know, and change attitudes that perpetuate the cycle of abuse.” As the Christian Church, our higher call-ing is from Christ. We are called to be His Body—his feet, hands, embrace, compassion in this world. Where else can or should we be but with those who are hurting? True to the lesson of “discipleship” we each must embrace the message of Christ as students, and live them out in our lives as disciples. Violence has no place in any civilized society. Unfortunately, we are conditioned to believe (by politics and world events) that violence solves disputes and troubles. It does not. Violence Hurts. And… Love Heals. Love Conquers. I call upon our parishioners to become true “disciples” of Christ as our Armenian Church has directed us. Let us see the hurting world, and specifically the families that are destroyed by violence, and bring the Love of Christ to our lives, our homes and world. -Fr. Vazken

Inspirational saying of the day Don’t be afraid of dying be afraid of never living. Turn to the light and the shadows fall be-

hind you. Don’t waste your time walking around the bottom of the apple tree picking up the rotten ones and then throwing them away, have the courage to climb to the top where the good ones are.

Students! Don’t be left behind.

ing for children of all ages! Every Wednesdays
