​​Vicar's Message - January 2021


Dearly beloved in Christ,

Let us remember Grace and Mercy that our Lord God had shown to us throughout the past financial year. Now we have completed 1 month of a new year. Let us Thank and Praise God for keeping us safe even though we are passing through the difficult times.
The church is preparing to observe the “Great Lent”. This year the lent begins on February 14. The days of Lent are the days of renewal and transformation of personal and social life. We must find time to read and meditate the Word of God and also to set apart time for private prayer. We should also set aside a share of all the blessings (health, talents, wealth etc.) that God gives us and try to help others. Our model is Christ, who had shared his life on the cross for the whole world. Lent is the time to fast not only from food but also from sin; a time to renew love and humility in ourselves. Let us observe the lent acceptable and pleasing to the Lord.
This year. Sticking on to the CoVID protocol, Maramon Convention will be help from February 14 -21. There will be live streaming of the convention and the link will be available from our website. Western Region MTVEA is conducting Annual Conference via Zoom on February 12 & 13. I pray that this conference and convention be a blessing for each one of us.
 
Stay safe and be blessed!
​
Prayers,
Liju Achen
