From the Vicar…
"My Lord and my God" (Jn. 20:28)Dear Parishioners,
The above verse is the faith affirmation of Thomas, the Apostle. July 03rd is observed as St.Thomas Day. We believe that our church is founded by Saint Thomas, and is known by the name of this Apostle. St.Thomas affirmed Jesus as his Lord and Savior. This reveals his intimate, personal relationship with Jesus and complete surrender to His will. We as followers of St.Thomas's tradition should have the same feeling and dedication to Jesus just like the Apostle.
The summer is at hand and it is the time of our many activities. Let's hope and pray that in and through everything we know each other better and grow in Christian understanding. It is a time of celebration of life along with nature. The green less winter gives way to the greeny and bright summer. Those who always put their trust in the Lord are 'like a tree planted by streams of water whose leaf does not wither' (Ps.1: 3). The Sun is the source of life for all the plants and trees. God gives His only Son for our abundant life so that we can have in all seasons, better or bitter.
It is also a season of camps and conferences. We have the Junior/Senior Conference, VBS, the Family Conference, Church Retreat, etc,. These are God given opportunities to grow as a community and to grow in Christ. Make us of it.
I appreciate all those who have their graduation these days. God is the source of wisdom and truth. So honoring God with all our being is very important.
May God bless us all.
Yours in His Service,
