Scripture Reading Luke 24:1-10

Jesus Has Risen

On the first day of the week, very early in the

morning, the women took the spices they had

prepared and went to the tomb. They found the

stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they

entered, they did not find the body of the Lord

Jesus. While they were wondering about this,

suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like

lightning stood beside them. In their fright the

women bowed down with their faces to the

ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you

look for the living among the dead? He is not

here; he has risen! Remember how he told you,

while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son

of Man must be delivered over to the hands of

sinners, be crucified and on the third day be

raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words.

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven

and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of

James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.

Our thanks to those parishioners listed below who made

donations toward the Easter Flowers that adorn the altar and

sanctuary today: Virginia Donigian - In loving memory of Mr. & Mrs. Meltes and Pepron

Donigian and children George, Vickie and Deacon Manoog; Mr & Mrs.

George Donigian and children, Mickey, Armen and George, Jr.; and

Estelle and Arthur Ohanesian.

Susie Varjabedian - In loving memory of her parents - Hovhannes & Agnes

Varjabedian

Marian Varteresian and Family – In loving memory of Michaelian and

Orcutt Families

Anna Garabedian – In loving memory of her parents Kapriel and Mariam

Garabedian
