“MEETING WITH THE GOSPEL” COURSES ARE COMPLETED
Antelias, Lebanon – The last session of “meeting with the Gospel”
course was held on May 31. An initiative of the Sunday Schools of
the Diocese of Lebanon, the session was organized by the Christian
Education department of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.
As done in previous years, Gospel studies were held in the last
six months in the St. Asdvadzadzine Church in Bourj Hammoud. The
attendants had the opportunity to study the letter written by the
apostle Paul to Hebrews, the hymns composed by Nerses Shenorhali on
the occasion of the Great Lent and the letters of the apostle Peter.
Rev.Fr. Mashdots Tchobanian, Christian Education officer of the
Catholicosate of Cilicia, presided over the studies. The course
included recitation of hymns, the study of Psalm and questions and
answers.
Father Mashdots thanked Bishop Kegham Khatcherian, primate of
the Diocese of Lebanon, the committee of Sunday Schools, the
St. Asdvadzadzine Church and its Ladies’ Guild and the attendant,
who gathered around the Word of God, to be strengthened by Him and
to embrace Christian faith.
The last session included the study of the last part of St. Peter’s
second letter, which concerns the second coming of Christ and advises
people to be ready for receiving Him. The session ended with prayers.
