Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!It brings me immense joy to reconnect with you through this revived, printed edition of the Bethel Herald! We truly hope this quarterly Newsletter helps us stay better connected as a Church family, sharing important updates and spiritual reflections with clarity and care.
A New Season: A Renewed Spirit
We've joyfully stepped into a new Parish year under the leadership of our newly elected ‘KaisthanaSamithy’ (Executive Committee). With prayerful hearts and hopeful plans, we eagerly anticipate a season filled with meaningful worship, rich fellowship, and profound spiritual growth. But above all, it's your active involvement and loving participation that will truly make our Parish life vibrant and fruitful.
Worship: The Heartbeat of Our Faith
Worship is the very heartbeat of our spiritual lives. I deeply encourage every family to prioritize attending our Holy Qurbana services regularly and punctually. Let's also gently guide our children to participate in these services - not just Sunday School - helping them grow in faith as active members of our worshiping community.
I also warmly urge everyone, especially those with the gift of time, to participate in the activities of our various Parish organizations: Edavaka Mission, Sevika Sanghom, Yuvajana Sakhyam, Sunday School, Senior Citizen Fellowship, Choir, and others. These groups are truly places of deep fellowship and spiritual nourishment.
Area Prayer Meetings: Cherish the Fellowship
Let us not forget the value of our Area Prayer Meetings, which have seen lower attendance recently. These aren't just gatherings; they are sacred spaces designed to build relationships and deepen our faith. I humbly request every family to make these meetings a regular and cherished part of your spiritual routine.
As we journey together, let everything we do be deeply rooted in prayer, continually guided by the Holy Spirit, and perfectly aligned with God’s divine purpose. Your gifts, your time, your very presence - they all matter immensely. Together, let us build a loving, growing, and powerfully witnessing community for Christ.
With love and blessings for a truly blessed and fruitful season ahead
Veeramala Achen
Meet Our Vicars.
