July, 2008
Dearly beloved in Christ,
The coming months are important as far as our parish is concerned. The anniversary of our parish is scheduled to be celebrated on 27th July. It is one year since we have become a parish. Rt. Rev. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius Episcopa of the Chennai-Bangalore diocese will be the chief guest on this occasion. On that day for worship I request all of your prayerful participation and encourage you to take part in Holy Communion along with your family members. Let us thank God for leading us in a mighty way just as the people of ‘Exodus’.
As you all are aware we have the privilege of hosting the 26th Family conference of UK and Europe this year. We have taken up this task of organizing the conference with a vision of functioning as healing agents in this country. Healing is in one sense restoration. Our restoration with God and people only will enable us to lead a renewed life. It seems to be a burden for a newly formed parish but with faith we have taken up this responsibility and earnestly pray for God’s guidance in this regard. I congratulate Mr. Zachariah Abraham and his team of members for their hard work and thinking behind this conference. Though everybody cannot participate in this conference I request you all to encourage this conference with your prayers and positive approach.
Our annual general body meeting went on well last month. I congratulate all the office bearers for the effort and time they put in for the progress of the church. Only our resemblance with Christ in actions can really make us to be a true witness to the world around. This is possible only by the grace of God. Our decision to buy a property as vicarage is a dream that we see with a hope for the future of our Church. We can make this dream become a reality when we all work together as one body and one mind. Let us pray to God for leading in all our endeavours to become channels of God
With prayerful regards,
Rev. Abraham Mathew.
Our Achen and family
