Haitian Earthquake Appeal

Dear Faithful Parishioners,

 

We have been directed by our Diocesan Primate to respond immediately to the great need of this devastating earthquake in Haiti.

 

"For the next few weeks we will take a Special Collection - donations that will go to help the Haitian Earthquake Victims. Only too well do we remember the suffering and plight of the Haitians from our own devastating earthquake that shook the land of Armenia and how the world responded with great love and compassion.

 

Please consider donating to help those that have been so devastated in this catastrophe.  We give thanks to God for what the world had done to aide us in the time of our need and the blessing we received. NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO DO THE SAME and give the greatest supporter to help the country of Haiti and all their citizens in need."

 

 

[if checks are written they should be made to FAR [ Fund for Armenian Relief, Diocese of the Armenian Church ]

 


Thank you

And keep the people of Haiti in your prayers

 

+ Der Garabed


 

   St. John Armenian Church, named after St. John the Baptist & Forerunner of Christ our God, has for over 75 years been at the very center of Armenian-American religious and cultural life in Metropolitan Detroit.

   Today St. John Armenian Church remains a dynamic ecclesiastical community. SJAC offers numerous educational programs and opportunities for Christians to grow in their faith and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

   These opportunities include: Children's Church School, Bible Studies, Lenten Retreats, the renowned Komitas Choir, a new Armenian Cultural Program, as well as a world class Museum and Library. SJAC is involved in Ecumenical endeavors with other Orthodox, Catholics and Protestants. SJAC also sponsors programs for relief of the poor, both here in the USA and back in our Armenian Fatherland.

   Most importantly, as Orthodox Christians, we place the greatest emphasis on honoring and worshipping our Creator, the All Holy Trinity. This greatest of all emphasis is reflected in the Mystery and Beauty offered to God every Sunday in our Divine Liturgy and Canonical Services.

   You are invited to come to St. John Armenian Church and witness this profound Mystery and Beauty in our Divine Services and to join us in lifting our voices in praise and thankfulness to our loving Creator.

   Please peruse our website to learn more about SJAC.





Known as the "Church with the Golden Dome,"
 we are more importantly
"the Church with the Golden Faith."

Maintained for two-thousand years
 by the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church,
this Ancient Orthodox Faith
 is awaiting your discovery.

St. John the Baptist: Patron of our Parish

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
 be with you all.  Amen"
 (2 Cor. 13:14)
