Dearly beloved in Christ,

“But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue right-eousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” (1Timothy 6; 11-12)

Timothy was a young man who responded to Christ’s call. He was one of Apostle Paul’s special assistants. He had been led to faith in Christ by Paul himself. Paul called Timothy ‘my own son in the faith’ (1Timothy1; 2). He wrote letters to Timothy to encourage and advice him on ministering the church. He also gave three warn-ings to Timothy that will help him in his ministry and his personal life as a ‘man of God’.

Flee (v.11a) A servant of God should be set apart from false teachings and ungodly practices. Joseph fled when he was tempted by his master’s wife (Genesis 39:12). David fled when King Saul tried to kill him. Paul wanted Timothy to separate himself from sins such as pride, the folly of ignorance, an unhealthy interest in contro-versies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife and love of money.

Follow (v. 11b) Paul instructs Timothy to pursue a life of good character, conduct, faith, love, endurance and meek-ness. When we look into the life of Joseph again, we can see all the above qualities in him. He forgave his brothers and even assured them of his constant care. ‘I will nourish you and your little ones’ (Genesis 50; 21). As God’s children through faith in Christ, we must hold on to what is good.

Fight (v.12) A Christian must fight the good fight of faith. Near the end of his own life, apostle Paul wrote,’ I have fought a good fight’ (2 Timothy 4:7). Apostle Paul reminds that Christian life is a battleground. The battle is fought against the enemies -the world, the flesh and the devil (Ephesians 2:1-3). We need to take hold of the ‘eternal

FROM THE VICAR’S DESK

life’ which is our reward. We witness our savior Jesus Christ in all our life’s battles.

Albert Schweitzer was one of the most recognized figures of the 20th century. He was a theologian, a musician and a missionary doctor who enlightened the dark continent of Africa. He was asked the reason why he went to Africa, leaving the comforts of a luxuri-ous life in his own country. He replied, “Everyone works for their own joy and satisfaction. I find joy in serving these poor people”.

Let us thank the Lord for His guidance and providence in the completion of our parsonage. I thank everyone who prayed, con-tributed wholeheartedly and worked behind it. I congratulate the parsonage construction committee, particularly Dr. Joseph Mattackal, the convener, for their tireless efforts and commitment. It will be a place for prayer, fellowship and a home for the parish members. As we are planning to conduct the dedication service on 24th October 2019, I request the prayerful presence of all parish members. May the name of the Lord be glorified.

May God bless us all,

With love and prayers,

Sajit Achen

Dearly beloved in Christ,

October is a great month of reflection, especially in our lectionary calendar. Each Sunday in October is special as it really calls us to understand our lives in retrospection as well as introspection to humbly as a servant leader showing out the love of God through our lives. The first Sunday guides us to understand our calling as priesthood of believers. We are all baptized and called to live out the Gospel message through our lives. St. Francis of Assisi puts it clearly “preach the Gospel, if necessary, use words”. Are we able to love those around us as Christ loves us?

That love should also be reflected as we move on to the second week commemorating those who are differently abled than us. Christ in His earthly ministry showed compassion in all humanity, He ate, and preferred to be around the least and the lost (or as defined by the world). Christ humanized them and had them come to the center from the margins and recognized them as His children who are worthy of His love. In our lives journey, we will encounter many people, some who will be different from us, and may even go through struggles and face challenges that makes it difficult to live. As Christ, we being His called out people should continue the ministry of love and compassion, not bringing others down and trying to place ourselves above others, but rather hum-ble ourselves so that others can increase and find worthiness through Him who is love.

The last week of the month is known as family Sunday. Remem-ber that God has ordained three institutions in this world: Family, Church, and Society. Christian love and nurture should be taken heed in the home itself then only it can be shared to the church in encouragement as a worshipping family and therefore making the society whole by understanding the love of God and His reconcil-ing peace.

The third Sunday we will commemorate as the Youth Sunday. Please pray for the youths of this region and their journey in life. Let us pray for our younger generation to grow to know God more and more at a personal level and in all that they do, they can mold

Much love,

SECRETARY’S CORNER

When you are down

Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping

Psalm 6:8

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to get us down, doesn’t it? Even on the sunniest day, an unkind remark from a friend, bad news from the family members, or even a misbehaving child can put a cloud of gloom over everything, making simple tasks as struggle. You know you should be joyful in God’s goodness, but everything seems to be against you.

King David must have been feeling that way when he wrote Psalm 6. He felt sickly, troubled, forsaken, weary and sorrowful. But he knew what to do when he was down. He looked up and trusted God to take care of him.

When we look up and focus on God, something good happens. We get the attention off ourselves, and we gain a new appreciati-on for Him. Next time, you are down, try looking up to God. He loves you; He considers you and He has a purpose for your trials.

Life can seem unbearable at times. But don’t let the circumstan-ces put you down. Meditate upon God’s words and talk to Him. He will give you strength to help you get up when you are down.

May God bless us all

Information about Tommy Mathew's Eagle Scout Project for Long Island Mar Thoma Church

Hello, my name is Tommy Mathew (aka Thomas Chacko Mathew). I began my scouting journey at the age of six with the Cub Scouts in Pack 382 and at age eleven, I crossed over into Boy Scouts Troop 382. I am now a Life Scout and I have completed over 20 Merit Badges. I have also held several positions of responsibility like Senior Patrol Leader and have been very active with all troop activities.Currently, I am the Troop Guide and help to instruct the younger scouts with their skills development. My long journey is

7

now at the point where I am working toward earning the highest and most honored rank in Scouting, that of Eagle Scout.

To earn the rank of Eagle, I must plan, develop and provide lead-ership to others in a service project helpful to the community. For my Eagle Scout Project, I have chosen to restore and beautify the grounds of the Long Island Mar Thoma Church in Merrick, NY. I chose this place to conduct my Eagle Project because it is the parish where I attend Sunday School and where my family regu-larly worships so I know personally just how much it needs out-door renovations. Since my Church has many elderly parish-ioners, I decided to focus on creating an area for them to sit out-side after the church service. Many of them have mobility issues and wait for their rides there because it is a shady area. This project will also benefit the community of Merrick because there are also many neighbors who like to take a walk through the Church grounds and sit near the trees. The Daycare at the Church will also use these benches as parents usually wait to pick their children up in the same area.

I will conduct my project by first fixing an area of grass where people usually step and create mud pockets for the rain. After fix-ing the mud patches, I will address the outdoor seating situation as requested by elderly parishioners at my church. I will do this by installing 3 new benches. Next, I will remediate a concern pre-sented to me by the Church treasurer. There is a line of dirt in the parking lot that was incomplete and did not have evergreen bush-es which lined the rest of the Church. Therefore, I plan to plant about 30 Emerald Green Arborvitae bushes. In addition, I will be repainting the parking lines and using stencils to create no parking zones in the Church parking lot.

This is an extensive project that will require many hours of volun-teer labor and a lot of materials to complete. With the help of our Parish youth, young families, my friends, as well as members from Troop 382, we will complete this project and accomplish the goals set forth. I humbly request your prayers and support for this project.

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)

Thank you
