CHURCH ETIQUETTE:

Father Diran and the Parish Council sincerely request that

parishioners respond to the following, so that our beloved Church

may function in a more orderly and respectful manner:

Altar Candles ~ Please note, according to Armenian Church

tradition, all Altar Candles must be lit before the beginning of

Badarak. Those desiring to light candles in memory of loved ones

or friends are requested to notify the Church Office in advance by

noon of Wednesday preceding the Sunday of remembrance.

Reverence Required ~ Please be advised that, according to the

tradition of the Armenian Church, members of the congregation

are strongly reminded to refrain from walking in and out of the

Sanctuary while services are in progress. You are especially

reminded not to do so during 1) the Chanting of the Gospel,

(pg. 17); 2) recitation of the Creed (Havadamk), (pg. 18); 3) the

Chalice Procession, (pg. 24-25); 4) Hayr Mer (pg 41); 5) the

Hymn, “Der Voghormya,” (pg. 45); and 6) distribution of the Holy

Communion, (p. 49). Also, please do not chew gum or cross legs

during church services. Please observe the “arrows” in the new liturgy

books. They indicate when you should Stand, Sit, or Kneel.

DRESS CODE FOR CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL

As we worship in our beloved Armenian Church on Sundays and

attend Sunday School, let us be mindful that we are in God’s

House. Since we are in God’s House, it is important that we dress

appropriately. The attire (clothing) we wear on Sundays should be

in good taste; therefore, any transparent clothes, shorts and skirts

with length above the knees, halter and tank tops, spaghetti straps,

jeans, etc, should be avoided. Bare shoulders should be covered

with a shawl.

ST. LEON SOCIAL CLUB . Seniors have much to offer - our

wisdom, our experience and our time. St. Leon Social Club meets

every Wednesday from 11:00-4:00 PM. Donation $4 coffee and

dessert. Bring a sandwich, lunch is at 12:00 noon. There are card

games, backgammon, bring a board game or just sit around and

have coffee and dessert. Bring a friend and enjoy the afternoon.

SUNDAY SCHOOL We are in need of new staff

members. Please consider joining our team.

• 5th Grade lead teacher. A fun group to teach, and you

already have a fabulous helper that can cover days you

need off and jump in while you're teaching. She may not

be there every week, but is passionate about St Leon

Sunday School.

• 9th Grade helper. May co-teach and cover class when

teacher is out. This teacher does fun activities to motivate

the students and you will enjoy your time with the class.

• Substitutes Needed: Our teachers are so gracious to

volunteer their time each week, but sometimes something

comes up and they need coverage. This is a great way to

toe dip into joining our staff.

• Please email me at acarden56@gmail.com if you are

interested and would like to discuss further.
