Serving the worship of the Church
Holy Badarak is the heart of parish life and the most intimate encounter with God available to us in this life. Christ comes to His people in the proclamation of the Holy Gospel and in His holy Body and Blood.
Altar servers assist the celebrant and deacons throughout the services of the Church. Their ministry calls for reverence, preparation, reliability, and a willingness to learn the order and meaning of Armenian worship.
Experienced servers mentor those who are beginning so that each person can serve prayerfully and confidently.
Parish readers proclaim the appointed Scripture lessons clearly and prayerfully during worship. Readers prepare the text in advance and help the congregation hear God’s Word with attention and understanding.
Adults and young people who wish to serve as readers are welcome to receive guidance, practice, and scheduling through the parish.
Choir members and organists lead the congregation's sung prayer and preserve a sacred musical tradition passed down across generations.
The parish gratefully recognizes the dedication of its singers, organists, choir directors, deacons, and altar servers, whose time and talents support every celebration of the Divine Liturgy.
New readers, singers, and servers are welcome to inquire. Musical or liturgical experience is helpful but not required; formation takes place through preparation, rehearsal, worship, and patient mentoring.
