| Saint Sarkis Basketball News - Reported by: Edward Barsamian |
In some cases, literally as Aaron Dilakian soared above the basket rim for an uncontested gem of a "JAM".
In its 2nd victory in as many games the Senior boys won over a solid St. Leon team 65-50. Led by Aaron Dilakian's clinical 35 points, Chris Avakyan and Makar Makarian 12 points each, Artiom Hakobyan 2 point and inspired playmaking by John Dilakian with 4 points. John's rebounding and accurate passing resulted in a very effective play at both ends of the court.
Next game is this Sunday, Nov. 15 at 4:00 pm in New York, against St. Thomas.
Saint Sarkis Girls played what many consider a genuine contender for the Championship, the St. Leon Girls 1 team, and were defeated 36-23. Alexandra Kasparian and Mimi Bijimenian scored 6 points each, Nicole Mark - 4 poins,Tonya Orangian 3 points,and Talar Hovsepian and Arev Ebrimian 2 points.
Beside getting much needed game experience, our Girls have the physical ability to be respectable contenders and will get better with every game. Another positive in this game was that even in a loss the girls' spirits were high and they all want to improve their team play.
Next game is this Sunday, Nov. 15 at 2:30 pm in New York, against St. Thomas.

THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE PHILIPPIANS (1.1-11)
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God.
ՊՕՂՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ ՓԻԼԻՊՊԵՑԻՆԵՐՈՒՆ (1.1-11)
Պօղոս եւ Տիմոթէոս, Քրիստոս Յիսուսի ծառաներս, կը գրենք ձեզի՝ Քրիստոս Յիսուսի միացած բոլոր հաւատացեալներուդ որ Փիլիպպէի կողմերը կը բնակիք, ինչպէս նաեւ եպիսկոպոսներուն ու սարկաւագներուն: Թող Աստուած մեր Հայրը եւ Տէրը Յիսուս Քրիստոս շնորհք եւ խաղաղութիւն պարգեւեն ձեզի:
Ամէն անգամ որ ձեզ յիշեմ՝ գոհութիւն կը յայտնեմ իմ Աստուծոյս: Ամէն անգամ որ ձեր բոլորին համար Կ՚աղօթեմ՝ ուրախութեամբ կ՚աղօթեմ, որովհետեւ առաջին օրէն մինչեւ հիմա ձեր մասնակցութիւնը բերիք աւետարանչութեան գործին: Եւ վստահ եմ թէ Աստուած, որ այդ բարի գործը սկսաւ ձեր մէջ, զայն իր կատարումին պիտի հասցնէ մինչեւ Քրիստոս Յիսուսի օրը գայ: Իրաւունք կը համարեմ այսպէս խորհիլ ձեր բոլորին մասին եւ ձեզ սիրտիս մէջ ունիմ, որովհետեւ բոլորդ ալ մասնակից եղաք ինծի վիճակուած շնորհքին, ըլլա՛յ բանտարկութեանս ընթացքին, ըլլա՛յ երբ ազատ վիճակով Աւետարանը կը պաշտպանէի ու կը հաստատէի: Միայն Աստուած գիտէ թէ ո՜րքան կարօտցած եմ ձեզ, Քրիստոս Յիսուսի գորովովը:
Իմ աղօթքս է որ ձեր սէրը աւելի եւ աւելի աճի աստուածգիտութեամբ եւ կատարեալ դատողութեամբ, որպէսզի կարենաք լաւը ընտրել եւ Քրիստոս իր գալստեան օրը ձեզ գտնէ մաքուր եւ անբասիր, եւ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի միջոցաւ արդար գործերով հարստացած՝ պատճառ ըլլաք որ Աստուած փառաւորուի եւ գովուի:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE (9:44-50)
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men." But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all-he is the greatest."
"Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us."
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՂՈՒԿԱՍԻ (9.44-50)
Մինչ ժողովուրդը կը զարմանար իր կատարած գործերուն վրայ, Յիսուս աշակերտներուն դառնալով ըսաւ. «Լա՛ւ մտիկ ըրէք եւ մի՛ մոռնաք ասիկա. մարդու Որդին պիտի մատնուի մարդոց ձեռքը»: Սակայն աշակերտները չհասկցան խօսքին իմաստը, որովհետեւ Աստուած իրենցմէ ծածկած էր՝ որպէսզի չհասկնան: Միւս կողմէ ալ կը վախնային իրեն հարցնելու այս մասին:
Աշակերտները սկսան վիճաբանիլ թէ իրենցմէ ո՞վ է մեծը: Յիսուս գիտնալով անոնց մտածումը, մանուկ մը առաւ եւ իր մօտ կանգնեցնելով ըսաւ. «Ով որ այս մանուկը ընդունի իմ անունովս՝ զիս ընդունած կ՚ըլլայ, եւ ով որ զիս ընդունած է, ընդունած կþըլլայ զիս ղրկողը: Որովհետեւ ով որ ձեր մէջ ամենէն փոքրիկն է, ան է մեծը»:
Յովհաննէս ըսաւ. «Վարդապետ, մէկը տեսանք որ քու անունովդ դեւեր կը հանէր եւ մենք արգիլեցինք իրեն, որովհետեւ քու հետեւորդներէդ չէ»:
Յիսուս ըսաւ. «Արգելք մի՛ ըլլաք իրեն. որովհետեւ ան որ հակառակ չէ ձեզի, կը նշանակէ թէ ձեր կողմն է»:

PAREGENTAN OF THE FAST OF ADVENT
This Sunday, November 16, is the Eve (Paregentan) of the Fast of Advent (Hisnag). This is a week-long fast (Monday to Friday) leading up to the first Sunday of Advent, which is next Sunday, November 22.
Advent is the period that guides us up to the birth and baptism of Christ. It begins fifty days before January 6. Advent is intended to be a solemn and quiet time for prayer, reflection, and meditation in preparation for the mystery of the incarnation.
Traditionally the entire fifty-day period of Advent was a period of fasting. Now there are three week-long fasts during Advent (along with the regular fasting days of Wednesday and Friday). The three week-long fasts are known as: The Fast of Advent (Hisnagats Bahk); The Fast of St. James (Sourp Hagopah Bahk); and the Fast of the Nativity (Dznuntyan Bahk).
THE HOLY APOSTLES ANDREW AND PHILIP This Saturday, November 14, we remember the Holy Apostles Andrew and Philip. Andrew was a Galilean fisherman and the first-called of the followers of Christ, along with his brother Simon, who was later called Peter. Philip was from Bethsaida, and after he had been called to be an apostle he brought in Nathanael (later called Bartholomew).
The word apostle is associated with the special inner circle of Jesus' disciples, chosen by Jesus to accompany him during His ministry, to learn from Him and follow His instructions to continue His work.
