    PASSION NARRATIVES FOCUS OF THE PRELACY LENTEN PROGRAM

    Great Lent, 6 weeks set aside for a disciplined spiritual exercise, is upon
    us. During this season, as a community, we abstain from certain foods and
    entertainments, and devote more time and energy to prayer and to the study
    of the scriptures, as well as to acts of mercy. We do these things so that
    we would more fully conform to the Gospel, submitting ourselves to the
    lordship of Jesus the Christ.

    Accordingly, every year the Armenian Prelacy organizes a Lenten Program for
    the faithful in the NY-NJ Metropolitan area, co-sponsored by the Armenian
    Religious Education Council (AREC) and the Prelacy Ladies Guild (PLG). This
    year, the program will include the traditional Husgoom service (7:30-8:00pm)
    followed by a Bible study (8:00-8:45pm) and will be held at the St.
    Illuminator's Armenian Cathedral in New York City, on Wednesday evenings
    starting February 9, 2005.

    The Bible studies will focus on selected passages from the passion
    narratives, particularly those that are solemnly read during the Holy Week
    services in the Armenian Church, and will be presented by Deacon Shant
    Kazanjian, Director of AREC. (For a complete list of Bible readings for the
    Holy Week, please visit the Prelacy website at
    http://www.armenianprelacy.org/readings03.htm).

    As always, the participants will enjoy Lenten delicacies during the
    fellowship hour, which will be graciously provided by the Prelacy Ladies
    Guild (PLG).
