Message From Vicar In Charge: Rev. Johnson Samuel
Dearly beloved in Christ Jesus, Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Sav- ior Jesus Christ. As per the Church almanac, the first Sunday of this month is observed as the 'land for the landless mission'. It was a unique involvement of the church for the needy. During the Lenten season, many of us may use our resources to help fellow beings. Caring blesses the one who gives as well as the one who receives. Every year May12th celebrated as Mother's Day throughout the United States. The American people use the carnation flower on Mother’s Day, which is pinned to the mother’s dress. Even today they use this white flower. White is symbolic of pure love. When the flower withers away the pure love remains within. Mother's love like-wise is always pure, and she embraces her children with love even if they make mistakes and forgive them. Because of Anna Jarvis we are celebrating Mother’s Day. We remember her on that day with gratitude.

Message From Youth Chaplain : Rev. Jess M. George Achen
Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One true God! Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we approach Christmas, our hearts are filled with joy and anticipation, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to bring salvation and hope. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians (2:5-11), provides profound insight into the true significance of Christmas through the concept of kenosis, which means self-emptying.
