-----------------------
The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 16:2-8 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the
tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from
the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled
back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do
not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is
not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he
is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they
went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and
they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. “Glory to You, O Lord our God!”
Աւետարան ըստ Մարկոսի 16.2-8 Եւ կիրակի օրը, առաւօտեան արեւածագին, եկան գերեզման: Եւ ասում էին միմեանց. «Քարը գերեզմանի դռնից
մեզ համար ո՞վ պիտի գլորի»: Եւ նայեցին ու տեսան, որ գերեզմանից քարը գլորուած է. եւ այն շատ մեծ էր: Եւ
ներս՝ գերեզման մտնելով՝ տեսան մի երիտասարդի, որ նստած էր աջ կողմը՝ սպիտակ պատմուճան հագած. եւ
զարհուրեցին: Եւ նա ասաց նրանց. «Մի՛ վախեցէք, դուք Յիսուսին էք փնտրում՝ խաչուած Նազովրեցուն. նա
յարութիւն առաւ, այստեղ չէ: Ահաւասի՛կ այն տեղը, ուր նրան դրել էին: Բայց գնացէ՛ք, ասացէ՛ք նրա
աշակերտներին եւ Պետրոսին, թէ՝ ահա նա ձեզնից առաջ գնում է Գալիլիա. այնտեղ կտեսնէք նրան, ինչպէս ձեզ
ասել էր»: Եւ երբ այս լսեցին, ելան ու փախան գերեզմանից, քանի որ սարսափահար էին եղել. եւ ոչ ոքի բան
չասացին, որովհետեւ վախենում էին:

Love Your Neighbors Reminder- Remember your non-perishable food donations for Mary
House food pantry. Items that move very quickly and are needed the most - tuna, peanut butter,
jelly, soups and rice. They also need personal care toiletries such as tooth paste, tooth brushes,
shampoo & conditioner, deodorant etc. As always thanks so much for supporting Mary House. For
info contact Joyce Avedisian (935-1815). Next Meal Kitchen dates: June 24, 2019.
Sunday School Drive – Products for human dignity. Sunday School students collect various hygienic products to
be distributed to the needy at Mary House and homeless shelters or when someone approaches our church for help.
Collection containers are located in the church hall. Please consider donating any of the following items: tooth
brushes, toothpaste, mouth wash, toilet paper and Kleenex, soap and shampoo, hand sanitizers and deodorants,
wipes. These products provide the necessities of life that we take for granted. Did you know that government
assistance programs do not cover personal care products, leaving many without access to these basic products?
Please help us meet the needs of our neighbors!
