REPORT

THE EPISCOPAL VISIT OF RT. REV. DR. GEEVARGHESE MAR THEODOSIUS EPISCOPA TO ST. ANDREWS MAR THOMA CHURCH KALYAN EAST.

Thirumeni visited our parish on 28th May 2017. It was indeed a blessing and joy to have your gracious presence in our midst.The worship and the Holy Qurbana started by 08:30 AM and along with that we had thanksgiving prayer. The offertory of that day was set apart for the ‘Save a Heart’ programme of Mumbai Diocese. Thirumeni delivered the word of God and portion was taken St. John 14: 15-21.

Holy Qurbana was followed by a session to welcome Thirumeni on his episcopal visit to the parish. Thirumeni addressed the parish members and brought to notice about the diocesan work especially Navajeevan and Navodaya movement. We also had a dedication of new Managing Committee members for the year 2017-18.Thirumeni also graced the Yuvajana Sakhyam meeting which was attended by Youths and Sunday school students. Thirumeni interacted with them and responded to their doubts regarding the church and society. This session was a great moment of our youths and Sunday school students because it was the first time that they got an opportunity to interact with a Bishop very closely. Thirumeni spent one and half hour with them. With prayers
