This week, join Fr. Barouyr for a spiritual reflection about Great Lent. He points out the changes that take place in our churches, and how we should change our lives during this time. He reminds us that Christ became a new Adam, and through his trial, torture, crucifixion, and resurrection overcame Adam’s sin. Lent gives us a time to disconnect from the material and prepare us for God’s grace at its other end, Easter.

Join Father Barouyr this week as he talks about living a Christ-centered life.

Join Fr. Barouyr this week as he discusses the treasure that is the Armenian Church. The Church, while ancient, speaks truth into our daily lives.
