Dearly beloved in Christ,
Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
" Keep your face towards the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you ".
[Walt Whitman] when we place our eyes on 2024 this is a time that the shadows of 2023 may fall behind us within a couple of months. There are many
unexpected incidents happened in this year, that have shaken the world, such
as natural calamities, riots among the people in Manipur, RussiaUkraine and Israel- Palestine war etc. The peaceful living and harmony
among people and the nations are only in dreams. Bible pointed out that,
all such incidents are the signs of the coming of our Redeemer. We are closer
to the end of this year. God was so good to all of us, sometimes even if we
had went through difficult situations. With a thankful heart and renewed
mind, let us prepare ourselves to welcome 2024 with new Spirit
By the grace of Almighty God, believe that this year's convention and Parish day celebrations were a blessing to all.
The month of November and December are colored with many engagements. World Sunday School day will be observed on 5th of November. Many of the parents are not giving much importance to nurture their children as God wants them to be, which causes later for them to loose the connection with the worship and the parish. I wish to remind that this may be
taken very seriously for the future existence.
Let's also remember and get ready for the Thanksgiving day service. Lord is
the owner and giver of life. He filled us with countless merits and blessings ,by remembering all the gifts, let's honor and praise our God with thankful heart for what He has been given to us.
Dear all ,we are very close to another Christmas season. The Advent Season reminds us about the need for preparing our life, to receive and accept
Jesus as our Lord and Savior, for this, also we need to arrange and decorate
our hearts as a manger.
We are a special community called and led by our Master to fulfill His will,
so that we may inherit the eternal life. All the arrangements and worship services may help and strengthen us to attain this goal.
Wish you all a meaningful Thanksgiving, Christmas season and a very
blessed, happy New year.
With Prayers and much love,
In His Service,
Rev. John T. S.
Vicar
