My beloved parish members,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 We are the stewards of God.

“But God said unto him, You fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that lyeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God”(Luke 12:20-21) Jesus tells about the foolishness of valuing things more than life. Poor stewardship is overpriced.

 Our life is God’s gift and he has a great vision about us. We are trying to forget these realities and try to

compromise with the suitable situations. God’s physical blessings and gifts are unintelligible, and his spiritual blessings, causes the finite mind to marvel. We are expecting more and more prosperity from God. Our prayers are mostly for getting more material benefits. Your concern is God as a provider. So every time we are trying to pray to  God and seek the benefits. Prayer is first of all an approach to God and not the presentation of a celestial shopping list. We come first to give rather than to take; offer rather than request. To pray with praise and thanksgiving is to acknowledge God’s holiness and majesty.

 Nov 5^th the North East Region celebrating World Sunday School day. Our St. Andrews Church will be celebrating this on December 11^th Sunday. The major part of the service the Sunday school teachers and the students will be leading. Let us pray for them. November 27th we are celebrating Thanksgiving Sunday. That day with gratitude and pleasure we are going to offer whatever we have given by God. November 13th our Family Sunday and parish day. Rev T. C. Mammen will be the main speaker

With Love and Prayer

Yours in His Service,

Rev. Benchamen George
