LA Visit

The Diocesan Episcopa visited the parish on January 2 and 3, 2012. Rev. Thomas John accompanied him to meet the members of the South Area Prayer Fellowship of the Parish.

It gave an opportunity for all members of the prayer group to assemble together and to express their concerns regarding their progress in having worship services in the local area. The members expressed their difficulty in regularly going to the Mar Thoma Parish at Glendora and therefore expressed their desire to form a parish in South Area. The members pointed out the need to have regular Sunday School classes for children and also study classes for the youth. They spent time in fellowship with the Bishop after the meeting.

The Sevika Sangham members of the parish met the Bishop and briefed him the progress they have made with regard to the National Sevika Sangham Conference scheduled for October 2012. The theme is chosen as ‘Abide in me and be Fruitful’ based on John 15:5.

The Kaisthana Samithi of the Los Angeles Mar Thoma parish met the Diocesan Bishop at Glendora. The members expressed their concern and evaluated the financial position of the Parish. The Vicar Rev. Thomas John was present and he briefed the committee on the progress of the National Sevika Sangham Conference. The parish committee thanked the Diocesan Episcopa for the visit to the Parish.
