📖 This Week's Story

We've been on our Lenten journey for many weeks now. Next week is the most important week of the whole year — Holy Week, or "Avak Shabat" in Armenian. Let's remember what we learned during Lent: The Prodigal Son taught us about God's forgiveness. The Good Samaritan taught us to help everyone. The Sower taught us to keep our hearts ready for God's word. We learned about prayer, about giving, and about growing closer to God. Now we're ready for the most important story of all — the story of Jesus's last week. Get ready!
