Dear Beloved Members of Immanuel Marthoma Parish, Kuwait

"While navigating the complexities of our world, let's earnestly pray for world peace and harmony among nations. May God bless us with the gift of peace, understanding, and unity, bridging the gaps between countries and cultures. May we strive to be peacemakers, promoting love, tolerance, and compassion in our communities and beyond.

In observance of Tithe Offering Day, let's remember the significance of giving back to God a portion of what He has blessed us with. May our tithes and offerings be a reflection of our gratitude for the abundant life He has given us. Let's offer our tithes with cheerful hearts, knowing that they will be used for the advancement of God's kingdom and the service of others. May our giving be an act of worship, acknowledging God's sovereignty over all aspects of our lives.

On Clergy Day, let's reflect on the significance of ordained ministry in our church. May we honour and support our clergy, who serve as icons of Jesus Christ's love and compassion. Let's pray for their spiritual and physical well-being, and may their ministry be a source of inspiration and guidance to us all. May we also strive to support and partner with them in their mission to spread the Gospel and serve the community.

In reflecting on the sacrament of Holy Baptism, let's remember that through the sacrament of baptism, we are anointed with the holy oil and sealed with the sign of the cross, symbolizing our new life in Christ. May our baptism be a reminder of our identity as children of God, and may we strive to live a life that reflects the love and compassion of Christ, following the teachings of the ancient faith of our foreparents.

During the Seventh week after Pentecost, let's focus on training for the ministry of the Kingdom of God. May we seek to deepen our understanding of God's Word and its application in our lives. May we be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to serve the Lord and His people effectively. Let's pray for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our ministry and witness, and may we be a light to the world, shining brightly for the glory of God.

May we shine as beacons of hope, reflecting the love and light of Christ in our lives, and may our community be a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel, bringing joy, peace, and love to all those around us.

In Christ's Service,
Arun John Achen
