FEATURED EVENTS AT ST.LEON ARMENIAN CHURCH

The St. Leon Armenian Church of Fair Lawn, NJ will hold its annual Gourmet Food Festival on October 12, 13 & 14, 2012. The Food Festival is a widely anticipated event for both tri-state Armenians and for the local community surrounding the church. Planned for months in advance, the Gourmet Food Festival lives up to its name in selling the most popular delicacies in the Armenian cuisine, painstakingly prepared by the women of the church. These will include such main course items as shish kebab, chicken kebab, luleh kebab, and kufte; authentic appetizers such as cheese boereg, yalanchi, and eech; and mouth watering desserts such as pakhlava, khadayif and bourma.

Meals can be ordered to go from the expanded take-out area and a wide range of items will be packaged as freezer-ready to allow for a taste of the festival long after it is over. To entertain the children, there will be games and crafts on the stage. Of further interest, there will be a 50/50 raffle with the drawing to take place on Saturday, October 13, and a performance by Armenian folk dance ensemble, the Antranig Dance Group, on Saturday at 8 pm. A Calendar raffle will also be featured, with prizes for the lucky winner. The Country store features Armenian packaged goods, small gifts as well as books and CD’s.
St. Leon Armenian Church is located at 12-61 Saddle River Road in Fair Lawn, NJ. The hours of the Gourmet Food Festival will be on Friday, October 12, from 5 to 9 pm; on Saturday, October 13, from 1 to 9 pm; and on Sunday, October 14, from 12 to 4 pm.

THE NICENE CREED

We Believe in one God, the Father almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, of things visible and invisible. And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of God the Father, only begotten, that is of the same substance of the Father. God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten and not made, of the self-same nature ofthe Father, by whom all things came into being in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible; who for us human beings, and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate, was made man, was born perfectly of the holy virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit; by whom He took body, soul, and mind and everything that is in man, truly and not in semblance. He suffered, was crucified and was buried and rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven with the same body and sat at the right hand of the Father. He is to come with the same body and with the glory of the Father to judge the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there is no end.

We Believe also in the Holy Spirit, the uncreate and perfect, who spoke in the Law and in the prophets and in the Gospels; who came down upon the Jordan, preached in the apostles and dwelt in the saints.

We Believe also only one universal and apostolic holy Church; in one baptism with repentance for the remission and forgiveness of sins; in the resurrection of the dead, in the everlasting judgment of souls and bodies, in the kingdom of heaven and in the eternal life.
