From Vicar’s Desk Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
As we step into a new year, we give thanks to God for His unfailing presence through every season of our lives. Scripture reminds us, “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:8). The turning of the calendar reminds us that our God is the Author of new beginnings- renewing our strength, refreshing our spirits, and guiding our steps with His perfect wisdom. “Behold, I am doing a new thing… I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19).
This New Year invites us to pause and reflect on God’s goodness behind us and His promises ahead of us. Whatever joys or challenges the past year held, we enter this new season with confidence that God is already preparing the way. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases… His mercies are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22–23). His grace is more than enough for every day to come.
May this year be one of deeper faith, stronger fellowship, and renewed commitment to love God and love one another. As a church family, we hold fast to the call of Hebrews 10:24–25: “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds… encouraging one another.” Let us walk forward together—hopeful, prayerful, and expectant for all that God will do in and through us.
I extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our dedicated office bearers for their faithful service throughout the year, Mr. Jijomon Joseph our Secretary, Mr. Philip Biju Daniel our Trustee, Mr. Saju Kurien our Accountant, Mr. John Mathew our Vice President, Mr. P. A. Mathews and Mr. Alvin A. Cherian our Lay Leaders, thank you for your tireless support in all the activities and ministries of our church. Your commitment, wisdom, and willingness to serve, have strengthened our fellowship and helped our church family grow in unity and purpose. I thank God for each of you and pray that He continues to bless the work of your hands as you serve His people with joy and humility.
As we begin a new financial year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the office bearers and executive committee members of the church and its organizations. Your leadership has been a great blessing to our church activities. I praise God for each of you and for your selfless contributions to various activities. May our good God bless you all JAN-MAR 3 abundantly. I also pray for the new office bearers of the church and organizations, that you may perform your duties perfectly in the days to come.
As winter settles around us with its quiet beauty, we are reminded that God often works most powerfully in the stillness. The shorter days and crisp air invite us to slow down, reflect, and listen for His gentle voice. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Winter may appear barren on the surface, yet beneath the cold soil, new life is preparing to rise. In the same way, God is shaping new beginnings within us even when we cannot yet see them.
Entering a new year gives us a fresh opportunity to trust God’s leading. Just as winter prepares the earth for spring, this season prepares our hearts for growth and blessings ahead. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6). Let us embrace this time with gratitude, hope, and expectation, knowing that God is already at work in the unseen places of our lives.
I express our heartfelt gratitude and love to all who have led the activities of the parish during the Christmas season, making our celebrations meaningful. I praise God for everyone’s co-operation in various programs. Special thanks to the officials who led the activities, especially to choir leader Mr. Sumesh John and all the office bearers of the choir for leading the carol service, Mr. Jaison Philip and the entire team for leading the door-to-door carol rounds, Mr. Prince Jacob, Mrs. Nina Jacob, Mrs. Abheena Baby and the whole Sunday School team for the Christmas play.
As we journey together into this new year, may we remain united in faith, steadfast in prayer, and joyful in hope. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him”.
As we step forward into this new year, may we continue to walk in the light of Christ, strengthened by His promises and united as one family in faith. Let us carry with us the lessons of the past, the blessings of the present, and the hope of the future that God has prepared for us. May our hearts remain open to His leading, our hands ready for His service, and our lives rooted in His unchanging love.
Yours in His Ministry, Joji Achen
