Pastoral Epistle – March 9, 2022
Beloved congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
We are thankful for the manifold blessings that we have received from our Lord. We are encouraged to seek our Lord; to seek His strength and to seek His face. Let us keep seeking the Lord more and more. We have entered the Lent season. It’s an opportune time to seek our Lord fervently.
We are immensely thankful for our Confirmation Service lastSunday. It was a wonderful celebration. We welcome our new members into our fellowship. We are thankful to our bishop for gracing the occasion and for his encouraging message. A big thank you to our worship team who did an amazing job and our tech team who made the service super nice and to everyone who volunteered to help in various ways to make the service a great blessing.
