Year-End Donations: 2025

We have all learned about the Armenian Christian tradition of Yughakin. In our church, this is a biblical tradition symbolizes oil for church lanterns in lieu of an oil donation. The oil kept the lanterns burning brightly, as our church helps keep the Christian spirit burning brightly in our hearts. The Christmas season is one of two times a year, the other being Easter, when we offer a special Yughakin gift to help support our church’s ministries.

The new year is already shaping up to be an aggressive year for our parish. We have 6 to 7 prominent projects lined up that we hope to have the funds to complete. In addition to this, we are expecting to welcome our newly assigned pastor Fr. Mambre Voskanyan and his family after his visa is approved. This effort alone will take a lot of time and money to make happen. To accomplish these objectives, we are asking for your financial support.

Checks can be mailed to the address above or brought to the church on Sundays. In addition, donations can be made online at the church’s website using PayPal by clicking HERE and selecting Yughakin - Christmas.

We ask you to think about all your blessings this past year and all the things you have to be thankful for this Christmas season. God answers our prayers. We invite you to join us this Christmas season and throughout the year for church services, events, fellowship, and stewardship. Make this your New Years’ resolution, and everything else falls into place! Looking forward to celebrating this glorious season with all of you.
