Pastoral Epistle – Dec 31 2025
Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“I will mention the loving kindnesses of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us, according to the multitude of His loving kindnesses.” Isaiah 63:7
Our Lord has led us through this year. We are thankful for all blessings we have received. We enter the New Year with thankful hearts and look forward to God’s guidance.
Last Sunday: We had a blessed service on the last Sunday of the year, December 28th. Thank you to Viji Angela for leading the service. Deep appreciation to everyone who shared their testimonies. If you missed last Sunday’s service, I encourage you to watch on YouTube.
Looking back at God’s faithfulness: We began this year in anticipation for God’s grace. The Lord has done more than we can ask or imagine. We had a useful initiative of Sustainable Church Development program. It has enabled us to look into a few avenues for growth. We look forward to continuing in it. All our ministries to different age groups, including ministry to seniors were a blessing. We have developed new talents in music, worship leaders, preaching, altar guild, chalice bearers, crucifers etc. We have had edifying fasting and prayer sessions. We have seen God moving through His Spirit in our Sunday services. All glory and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ who enables us to excel.
Watch Night Service: Please join in person service tonight at 11.00; let us journey into 2026 together. We will have a time of blessing and receiving promise cards for the year. We will also celebrate Holy Eucharist in the New Year.
