Dearly beloved in Christ,
Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
My dear parishioners, our parish convention and parish day was celebrated on September last and October 1st week. I hope the word of God which echoed in our hearts and minds renewed our personal life. On October 5th we are going to celebrate our Family Sunday and Harvest Festival. This is a time to rededicate our family before our Lord. Today we are facing a lot of stress and struggles in our family life. We should be aware about our family and recognize our responsibilities to make a healthy Christian family. It is characterized by constant family prayer, worship, and personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Beside these, we need to have a steady and healthy communication, respect for each other, a sharing mentality with no hidden interests, unconditional trust and love for each other to promote a meaningful Christian family. There should be a strong bond between the husband, wife and with their children. Each one should purposely nurture the relationship. Family members never make disparaging or negative remarks about one another. A disagreement with another should not lead to conflict and chaos within the family. Everyone should respect each other and make healthy changes in their life. In our families there should be freedom and safety within the family for mistakes and failures. Parents should correct our children when they do mistakes. Children should realize their parents, their love, care and support. I hope and pray that our family could lead a healthy and spiritual family life. May God Bless us all.
I personally wish that all the parish members may participate and partake in all the parish activities. It is place for nurturing our spiritual life and to develop personal relationships. The ‘Parish call’ is a handbook of our parish which gives information about the activities for the coming three months. May God Almighty keep us all under His gracious wings at all times.
Your’s in God’s Love
Rev. Joymon S K
