If you are like me, you wish this could all happen overnight and wiz-bang we are super-Armenian church again. Alas like so many things revitalizaon is a slow and steady process. As I look back on my year and a half at PACC I see that only about one-third of what I would like to see change has happened. That means that it would take about three more years for the real transformaon to come about. Can I (We) be that paent? It always takes awhile to sele in to a new ministry and figure out what the priories are, and it is always best to start with the most important first. Everything Christ did was about change – water into wine; law into grace. It is interesng to note that it took Christ about three years to get the change started. Then it took God’s Spirit pouring into the lives of people to keep the change growing. Change is what we can all expect in our future. With God’s Spirit working in each one of us we can expect God’s change to take place. Let’s all look forward to the changes God will provide and let’s be paent as we await that change.

Pilgrim’sProgress

So the time has come to write the last Pilgrim’s Progress article. I feel like Paul writing to one of the churches he loves and hopes to see great things coming for that congregation. I do love this congregation and am very convinced that God has called us together for a season of renewal, reflection and revitalization.

I know that I am renewed in many ways. Standing at the front of that renewal feeling is experiencing God who has been leading us these many months. I hope that you have felt God’s presence as I have. We have focused on Christ, and Christ’s grace has brought us before God in a very real way. God has blessed us and filled us with his own Spirit that we might persevere and run the race faithfully; so we have.

Reflecting on this time I see many trials and tribulations overcome. Things we didn’t think we would get through, we did. At the same time many blessings have poured out to us and we have rejoiced. We have relied on one another and each one’s faithfulness to Christ. We have joined hands together and seen change begin to blossom among us.

It’s odd how simple changes can revitalize our energies as a people. A little change in attitude here, a bit more effort and willingness to try something different, sparks in us the creative portion of God’s image we are created in. Being creative with new

ideas and the opportunity to express our creativity has begun to revitalize this church. If you are like me, you wish this could all happen overnight and wiz-bang we are super-Armenian church again. Alas like so many things revitalization is a slow and steady process.

As I look back on my year and a half at PACC I see that only about one-third of what I would like to see change has happened. That means that it would take about three more years for the real transformation to come about. Can I (We) be that patient? It always takes awhile to settle in to a new ministry and figure out what the priorities are, and it is always best to start with the most important first.

Everything Christ did was about change – water into wine; law into grace. It is interesting to note that it took Christ about three years to get the change started. Then it took God’s Spirit pouring into the lives of people to keep the change growing. Change is what we can all expect in our future. With God’s Spirit working in each one of us we can expect God’s change to take place.

Let’s all look forward to the changes God will provide and let’s be patient as we await that change.

In Christ,Rev. Louis R. ParadiseInterim Pastor

COUNCIL ACTIVITIESBy Moderator Cristel Tufenkjian

The Council held their September meeting starting with a devotional by John Eleazarian on church leadership and an opening prayer preparing us spiritually for the work ahead of us. Highlights of the business conducted include the appointment of Alexander Jaramishian to the Goorabian Family Life Center Committee and Sedrak Israyelayn to the Board of Trustees and approval of three requests to change membership status from inactive to active. The Council concurred with the calling of a special congregational meeting on October 8 to approve expenditures for repairing the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units and the fountains and for the installation of a projection system in the sanctuary. The Council thanked the Board Trustees and Deacons for their leadership and the giving of their time in the upkeep of the church campus. Pastor Lou led the closing prayer. This was the last Council meeting under the guidance of Pastor Lou. We will miss his thoughtful input and support. He has helped us with structure and order creating a more efficient, productive meeting. He will be greatly missed.

PACC MENS FORUM NEWSAs many of you know, your men’s forum is very active

with the Evangel Home in Fresno. We enjoy sharing the Lord’ blessing with the wonderful family’s at the home at least three to four times a year.

On August 2, 2017 we served a very family friendly dinner (hamburgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings) and presented fully stocked backpacks to 25 children at the home. Needless to say, the family’s and residences were very appreciative. To see the smiles on the children’s faces was so rewarding.

On Saturday, October 21 at 9 am sharp, the Dorcas Guild members and your mens forum will enjoy a scrumptious breakfast in the church hall. Alexander Jaramishian will be the guest speaker. His topic will be a need to hear for all who are over 21. Dorcas members will be our guests. All who plan to attend must let the church office know by Wednesday, October 18 – that means the men, also. Or when you see me on Sundays after church, let me know.

This breakfast will be our kick-off drive for membership. Come and join us to be part of our very active and service ready devoted members. Men, if you can, come early Saturday and join us in the kitchen for conversation and camaraderie.

– Jerry Janigian, Men’s Forum President

Believe it or not we will NOT count your calories, or overload your schedule or make you do heavy lifting. No, instead we will make sure to serve you some delicious good, provide opportunities for spiritual growth with other God-ly men, and give you space so you can relax and enjoy an amazing retreat.

So grab a friend or two, or come with the men from your church. We will have all our manly activities ready for you to enjoy. Get ready for the annual tavloo (backgammon) tour-nament as well as a ax throwing contest. Some of the men might travel a short distance to Pine Mountain for a game of

golf (bring your own clubs), but if you want to stay back, you can enjoy a game of disc golf at Camp AREV.

Be assured: We’ll provide soujoukh & eggs for breakfast, and a FULL kebab dinner!

About our Speaker: Brad dacus Brad Dacus served as Legislative Assistant to U.S. Sena-

tor Phil Gramm. After receiving his Juis Doctor, Mr. Dacus coordinated religious freedom and parental rights cases throughout the Western states. In 1997, Mr. Dacus founded Pacific Justice Institute, where he serves as President and continues to defend liberties and parental rights.

do you need to get away for a weekend? Camp AReV Men’s Retreat is the place for you!

Reserve your seat now and join us for a time to celebrate leadership — elected o�cials and public leaders — to remind them of

Chri�’s me�age of hope and re�oration for our lives and our communities.

Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship® in Riverside and Irvine, California, began his pastoral ministry at age 19 by leading a Bible study of 30 people. Since then, God has transformed that small group into a church of some 15,000 people, making Harvest one of the largest churches in America.

In 1990, Laurie began holding large-scale public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades®. Since that time, more than 5.7 million people have attended Harvest Crusades across the United States, in locations ranging from the annual event at Angel Stadium, Calif., to Madison Square Garden in New York City to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Harvest Crusade events have also been held in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Nearly 1.9 million people have attended Harvest events virtually, via live or archived Internet webcasts.

In addition to speaking and assisting other ministries, Laurie has authored over 70 books including, As I See It, Hope for Hurting Hearts, Married.Happily, Essentials, Upside Down Living, The Greatest Stories Ever Told, Revelation: The Next Dimension, As It Is in Heaven, and more.

Laurie has been married to his wife, Cathe, for 43 years and has two sons, Christopher and Jonathan, and five grandchildren. His son Christopher died in a 2008 automobile accident at age 33.
