Open Letter from Fr. Vazken - This Day in History... (Dec. 18, 2008)

Tonight the Christmas Spirit will come to LA as Gor Mkhitarian releases his 7^th CD, Spirit with a concert in Los Angeles.

Im writing to share my enthusiasm about this CD with you. The Spirit CD represents much more than the release of some new music. It reflects the feelings and expressions of a new generation in a true spirit of respect for the past, love for life to today and hope for tomorrow. The songs harmoniously weave ancient church music with the pop sound that is so uniquely Gor Mkhitarian.

Im proud to have been part of this project from the beginning and ask that you join us for the CD-Release concert, tomorrow, December 18, at Zipper Hall (across from the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA).

The concert is presented by the In His Shoes Mission, and proceeds benefit its many projects that bring relief to the suffering people in the world. In particular, In His Shoes provides humanitarian aid and assistance to people that have experienced by Genocide, such as in Darfur. In His Shoes seeks to answer even the most despicable acts of hatred with the Love taught by Jesus Christ.

At this Christmas season, I ask that you join us in celebrating the Birth of Love, by being a part of history. The last time the Armenian spirit was rocked like this was in the Middle Ages. Dont wait for another 700 years to pass to get another chance! Come and experience the Spirit with us tomorrow evening at Zipper Hall. Were also pleased to feature the music of Mariam Matossian, in her First West Coast performance.

Reaching out to the youth with the Love of Christ is our calling. We need your prayers on a daily basis! Please remember our youth, all youth as your youth. Our priest, staff and workers are in need of your prayerful encouragement.
To participate financially in this ministry, were challenging our community to make daily offerings. A pledge of $1/day = $365; $2/day=$730; $5/day= $1825 a year and so on. Think about it. Pray about it. Its a small amount for all the work that is being done day in and day out. As our Lord Jesus says, For wherever your treasure is, there shall your heart be also. (Matt. 6:21) Make youth a priority in your life, by making them a priority in your giving. Your contributions insure the continuity of our ministry.
Pledges may be fulfilled monthly or quarterly by check. Or we can conveniently bill your credit card every month-MasterCard and VISA are accepted. Membership

Making the presence of Christ real in the lives of Armenian youth - that's what we're all about - a continuation of the work begun early in 2003. Our church, the St. Peter Armenian Church & Youth Ministries' Center is located across the street for a cluster of schools in Glendale. This area has been referred to as Ground Zero - it represents one of the largest populations of Armenian youth outside of Armenia. Here God has opened a new door of hope and love for the community. Church services take place throughout the week culminating with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy on Sunday mornings. Through church activities and a working partnership with In His Shoes, young people are finding significance in their church, communities and in their lives.
