4 From the Presbyter s desk New Year ear, the opportunity to renovate our Spiritual Lives Greetings to you in the name of our Lord who renovates everything (Revelation 21) We are at the threshold of a New Year. During this occasion we send greetings to our friends and relatives, make new decisions in our lives, begin or decide to begin new practices in our life and so on. But, as Christians, what we ought to do in the occasion of New Year is to renew our Christian lives or spiritual lives. What can we do to reno enovate our spiritual lives? a) To invite the Triune God into our lives. b) To let our God to wipe away our tears. c) To inherit the eternal life and water of life. (A) The invitation of the Triune God into our lives: As a flock of sheep go astray, we the flock of God have every chance to go astray from the path of God. Adam committed the first sin, and every human being imitated him over the ages. As the sin of man became intolerable, God sent his only son Jesus to this world so that His sacrifice can redeem man from his sins. As we read the parable of a master punishing his servants for killing his son, we can understand and realize how sinful our lives are. Jesus, the son of God was crucified instead of us. Also we can see the wonderful picture of a Saviour who is the master of everything, knocking at the doors of our lives. Our Lord does not compel anything upon us. He wants us to invite Him to our lives. As we invite the Lord to our lives, we became the beloved sons and daughters of the Lord, and our lives change and thus a renovation occurs in our lives. (B) Let our God to wipe away our tears Philippians 4:4 says "Rejoice in the Lord always". We have nothing else to rejoice in, since the happiest thing in our spiritual lives, is the redemption and salvation brought to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. As mentioned earlier, Jesus stands in front of our heart and knocks. If we open our hearts and invite him cordially God will enter our hearts 2 N v thmbnkv P\phcn 2016

5 and dwell in it. Then a total change comes in our lives. If the Lord dwells in our heart, our hearts will begin to rejoice in the Lord as mentioned in the book of Philippians. And when we rejoice, all our sorrows will vanish from our lives and our tears will be wiped away forever. (C) To inherit the eternal life and water of life One cannot enter the eternal kingdom of God without a personal contact with Him. The New Year is an apt occasion to initiate a personal relationship with God. But it is impossible to begin the relationship with God on the basis of a decision. The decision to have a personal contact with God through continuous and honest prayers can be initiated only with the help of Holy Spirit. First of all we have to pray for anointing with the Holy Spirit. This will help us to initiate the proper personal relationship with God. Let us utilize this New Year to invite the Lord to our lives, and thereby attain happiness and entry to eternity. Amen. Rev.. T..

6 SECRETARY S REPORT Dear friends in Christ, Greetings and grace to you to enjoy the abundant happiness of a new year with IMMANUEL - the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Yet another year has gone behind the curtain of memory lane with all its possibilities and challenges is here with us as a reality. As we look back and thank the Lord for all the blessings we have received and also for all the promises and possibilities in store, we also look forward with hope and confidence for a renewed relationship with Almighty God. This is time to reflect and meditate to ascertain whether we have stranded somewhere in our spiritual pilgrimage or whether we are where God wants us to be. Let's not be stagnant, but become a channel of blessing in His mighty hands. The Republic Day is a political phenomenon of our country. The socio-cultural barriers, economic disparities, political perversions, social victimization, religious resurgence, gender discrimination, child abuse, disaster of competing industrial development, sky creeping clouds of pollution and above all dehumanizing factors of corruption are the persisting dangers of our country. It is in this context that peaceful coexistence and harmony are to be restored. Let us fall into the strategy of God in building the Kingdom of God - may be bit by bit, day by day, step by step - each at a time. The election of office-bearers for all sub-organisations of the Church had been completed and the elected persons have taken charge of the activities. Let us wish and hope that all of them will endeavour hard with zeal, zest and enthusiasm. The following financial sanctions were made during the month: I. Marria riage e Aid 1. Smt. B.

Mr. Premchand Johnson rendered excellent and qualitative service to the MM Church as Choir Master till 31st of December, 2015 co-ordinating, training and leading all language sections of the Choir. The Church appreciates him for his valuable services. Sri. T. Jayakumar Alfred is appointed as Choir Master of MM Church for the next one year period. Do pray for him as he extends his time and talent for enriching the Choir. The memo No.SKD-PRO.Bd/Sho.45/2015 dt.21/12/2015 issued by the Adv. S.P. Sreejith, Attorney CSI TA & Manager, Properties Board, SKD regarding (a) construction of vault and sexton's quarters, (2) rear compound wall of sexton's quarters (3) and information on direct control of properties in the possession and use of MM Church was received and discussed in detail in the Emergency Church committee held on 22/12/2015. (The memo received and the brochure published detailing the developments are given separately in this issue). We are taking all our efforts to get the controls revoked and restore all our privileges and rights. The whole matter was briefed to the Church members through announcement in all the Church services on 27/12/2015. A request on the above was placed before the revered Bishop, SK Diocese on 27/12/2015 with the following items: 1. The ban imposed on construction activities in the Cemetery campus and the Sexton's quarters compound may please be lifted and normal privileges available to Churches be extended to our Church. 2. The direct control by the Treasurer and Manager Properties Board, SKD over the properties under the possession and use of the MM Church may please be withdrawn and the former position restored to our Church. N v thmbnkv P\phcn

Obituary Dr. Sugunan K Dhas (Family No.367), Pattom was called to eternal rest on 24/12/2015 and was buried in our Cemetery on the same day. Along with Mrs. Susheela Sugunan and children, his life and ministry was an excellent testimony to the Lord. Do pray for the bereaved family members. Yours in His Blessed fold, Dr.. Christenson E.
