“Crowning of Dome” Banquet Finishes Booklet Message from Der Zacharia
Our dream is coming true. Join the experience of our devoted donors to fulfill the challenge of our community. As we celebrate today, our dream is becoming a reality. The accomplishment of the first Armenian Church of Arizona started many years ago with the decision to try. Soon the doors will be open for all of us to enter our spiritual homeland. Each of us, adult or child, continue to bring the effort with each block to fulfill our dream.
Church is the eternal legacy of our future generations. We are proud to have this sanctuary being built here for them to keep their spirit alive. We should value our faith, traditions and culture. Even though we are so far away from our homeland, we have each brought with us the spirit to build and create. Now we are bringing the blooming of our souls in the desert of Arizona with the rising symbol of Mount Ararat. The church is the center of our unity. We want everyone to come, hand in hand, to encompass the spirituality of our heritage.
Each of you must reach into your souls to find the purpose of your belonging. Participate in our ongoing fundraising effort. We believe our success will be a welcomed gift for all of us now and forever. Let’s complete our project to stand tall and shine in the Arizona sun! “Blessed are those who build churches.” Rev. Fr. Zacharia Saribekyan
