Dear Parishioners and Friends,

the World Council of Churches (WCC),
of which the Armenian Orthodox Church is a member,
holds every year the “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

The theme for 2014 is “Has Christ been divided?”
(1 Cor. 1:13), and is prepared by churches and Christian
communions across the globe. In a world marked
by diversity in language and culture, we express
our Christian faith in diverse ways. During this Week
we are called to celebrate this diversity and
be faithful to Christ’s call for the unity of his
Church. All are invited to join with brothers and
sisters of various churches in prayer, song,
and witness to unity as followers of Christ.

Our parish along with sister churches from
different denominations have organized
and will be holding a worship service on
Sunday, January 19th at 7:00 p.m. at First
Lutheran Church (click for directions) in
Vancouver. The choir of each church will be
participating in the worship by singing a hymn.

Come and join us in glorifying our
Triune God and encouraging our choir.

St. Gregory the Illuminator Pastor and Board of Trustees
