Message from the Presbyter

Dear Beloved- in- Christ,

“Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.”

Isaiah 46:10

Do you know how a good director makes a movie? He shoots the last scene first, and then he goes back to the beginning and makes every scene move toward it. That is how God works with us. First God establishes purposes, and then he decides procedure. That is why He is not nervous when you are; He has already set your end. You may be struggling today and wandering if you aregoing to make it, but God knows you will, becauseHe has already planned it all out. (Jere.29:11). It works like this; before there is a building, there is a blueprint. The architect has already put every detail on paper. When you are confused, all you have to do is to check with the specifications and look at what the architect has designed. God has certain design for each one of us. In that design, He leads us to Sanpada Jubilee Malayalam Church.

We, as a family received from each one of you the warmth and an encouraging environment. Not as family alone, but you all joined in our journey of faith with oneness. I thank from the bottom of my heart the Sunday school children, teachers, Youth Movement members, Choir, women’s fellowship, Atmaya fellowship, Management committee members and all elders for your wholehearted support. We enjoyed the worship, retreats, conventions, spiritual revival meetings, mission visits, tours, Dhwani musical concerts, entertainments, parsonage projects, charity works, fish pickle making, Harvest festival, career guidance classes, confirmation classes, medical camps of the Jubilee Malayalam Church initiative programs. We also enjoyed the delicious homemade food, your hospitality and fellowships. We will be missing Sports meet and fellowship lunch a lot.You were so loving towards our children, especially towards Junia and also Abhishek and Nikshep. You all trusted us completely in every matter to lead. Words cannot express our gratitude for your love and concern. It shows that God loves us through you. Please keep the same rapport and give your wholehearted support to the coming vicar,Rev. Aby K. Thomas and family. He is a highly talented and a wonderful resource person andplease make use of him. I wish you all our blessings and prayers.

May God Bless You, With love and prayers, Rev. BinjuVarugheseKuruvilla
