Friends,
The General body meeting of the St Paul's Marthoma Yuvajana Sakhyam will be held on March 13th after the church service. It will be held from 10:45 - 11:45 AM.
It will give everyone an opportunity for fellowship and also participate in the activities of the Yuvajana Sakhyam.
Rev K C. George Achen in his sermon last sunday preached about the parable - Marriage at Cana.There Jesus converted water in to wine. When Jesus came in, the water got transformed in to something even more useful (wine). Likewise when Jesus enters the lives of people, there is transformation.
However note, Jesus asked the servants around there to help him fill the jars with water. Achen attributed this action to people who work in the various organizations of the church. So all who are interested to join the various posts please come prayerfully. Be part of God's calling to transform other peoples' lives. The other members, please come and emphasize your support.
Note : This week is Second Sunday: Achen will be celebrating English Holy Qurbana.
Have a nice week ahead.
- Secretary
