Parish News

Discounts, Membership, & Stewardship
In the past couple of months, the Parish Council has been working diligently to propose a more progressive membership/stewardship program for our Parish. Below you will find a few guidelines related to membership, pledge/stewardship, and a discount program. 

We appreciate any and all donations to our church: your contributions of Time, Talents, and Treasures make up our church. We would like to thank you for your loyalty and your amazing devotion to the mission of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, we would like to reward the stewards of our church who are consistently supporting us without participating in any formal program: effective immediately, any parishioners contributing $1,200 or above in a calendar year will be formally enrolled into our Stewardship Program (formally known as Pledge Program). One member of the family will also become a Dues Paying Member of St. Sarkis Church without an additional membership fee. If the annual contribution is above $1,500, the Parishioner may enroll two members of the family into the Dues Paying Membership Program.

We hope this new program will help eliminate some of the confusions surrounding Membership/Stewardship/Pledge programs.

Furthermore, the following discount program is now available for all students and seniors of our Parish:
  • Seniors 65 and above – membership fee of $50
  • Youth 18-26 years of age – membership fee of $25
  • Pledge/Steward Members contributing $1,200 or above per year – free one dues-paying membership*
  • Pledge/Steward Member contributing $1,500 or above per year – free two dues-paying memberships**
  • Regular Member - $100 per year
All membership dues must be collected by December 31st to be eligible for the perks in the upcoming year.
*includes free school registration for 2 kids per family and 2 meal vouchers
**includes free school registration for more than 2 kids and 2 meal vouchers
 
 
If you’d like to see a case of how it works, please read on:

Mrs. Siroon contributed $1,200 in 2017. This contribution was not always consistent, but rather done in various ways – a one-time check for $150 written at one of her visits without a specific designation or purpose; another online contribution in the amount of $50; and one-time check written in the amount of $1,000. Mrs. Siroon is not a current member and/or a Steward of the church. She also has school age children whom she is considering to enroll in St. Sarkis School in 2018. During her visit with the School Registration team in August of 2018, she becomes aware that because of her contributions in 2017, she can register 2 of her 4 children free to the St. Sarkis Sunday School. She also is made aware that she is now considered a Dues Paying Member of our church, which gives her right to vote during our General Parish Assembly. Additionally, Mrs. Siroon is now a Steward of the Church, which grants her the following discounts:
  • 2 meal vouchers to be used toward any St. Sarkis events throughout the year (excludes New Year Party), and
  • Free registration for Mrs. Siroon’s children (up to two registrations) for St. Sarkis School beginning August.
If Mrs. Siroon chooses to add her husband, Mr. Siroon, into the Dues Paying Membership Program, she can write a one-time check in the amount of $300 to meet the minimum contribution of $1,500 which will grant two memberships per family, and will allow Mrs. Siroon to register all of her children free to St. Sarkis Sunday School. Alternatively, husband Mr. Siroon can just write a separate $100 check to become a Dues Paying Member of St. Sarkis Church, while Mrs. Siroon will pay the registration fee for two children only.

We hope this new program will help eliminate some of the confusions surrounding Membership/Stewardship/Pledge programs.

If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact any member of the Parish Council or Fr. Ghevond.

NEW AT ST. SARKIS ARMENIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH!!!

​Dear community members,

We are proud to announce that Circle of Joy is advancing its format! Beside being a group of families who come together for playdates (according to the ages of children) or other fun activities to creates friendships between mothers, fathers and between children in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere, it is also reaching out to the community members who may need support during difficult times.

This family-oriented group is starting a new program, called Food For Soul. The idea is to deliver meals to community members such as new moms, faithful who have had surgeries or parishioners who are in general need of a good nutritious meal. Volunteers will deliver food to the recipients' house (they should not to stay or enter the home, but just drop off the meal at the door).

Recipients may request dinners on specific days of the week or throughout the one or two week period (depending upon the situation and recipient's needs). Volunteers will sign up to deliver the food through a specially created, personal calendar that will have all the details and necessary information.
