From the Vicar .... Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings to you all in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. By the grace of God our diocesan collection, parish convention and family dedication services went well and we got whole hearted support and participation from the members of our parish. I do appreciate the members of our parish for the valuable contribution to the mission activities of our diocese. Our parish convention was an occasion to listen the powerful and life centred messages of God through our Sibi T. Mathews achen. He explored the various dimensions of this year’s theme ‘Renewal and Reconciliation’. As achen mentioned repentance is essential for renewal and reconciliation. Genuine repentance may start with feelings of sorrow but ends only when we turn away from sin that has been kept us away from our Creator. Every Christian is God’s ambassador for reconciliation. Jesus said “If you are offering your gift at the alter and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift in front of the alter. First go and be reconciled to your brother, then come and offer your gift” (Matt. 5:23-24). May God help us to experience the renewal and reconciliation in our personal, family and social life.
November first Friday we are celebrating as world Sunday school day. For Jesus children were the best models of discipleship and citizens of the kingdom of God. Children were always dear to Jesus-the brightness in their eyes, their innocence, curiosity, dependence, trust makes them so special. Along with education, parents are to train their children proper values so as to distinguish right from wrong in every day life. This should takes place within the context of a loving, caring, and forgiving relationship(Deut.6:6-9). Every year during the month of November Mar Thoma-CSI-CNI churches observe the day of prayer for church unity. The three churches formed together the ecumenical movement entitled ‘Communion of Churches in India’. The movement carries on its activities by organizing programmes helpful to nurture mutual relationships among churches, to experience the unity in Christ at the local level and to co-operate with each other in fulfilling the mission. Let us thank God for the spirit of warm relationship among churches here in Kuwait. With prayerful regards Bobby Achen
