    Come Holy Spirit Renew Us

    May 2024
    From
    Vicar's Desk
    May, 2024

    Dear friends in Christ.

    Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    I thank Almighty God for thy care, providence and blessings upon us throughout
    last month. April was a month to walk with the risen Lord. We had series of biblical
    reflections based on this theme. Let us continue our spiritual journey with the risen
    Lord seeking His will. I hope you all had a wonderful time with your children during
    the school holidays. We have slowly entered yet another winter season here in
    Melbourne, I pray that God may keep all of us healthy and energetic throughout this
    winter.

    Sunday worship time change


    After series of discussions, opinion poll and with a unanimous decision of the half
    yearly general body meeting we have changed our regular Sunday worship time to
    10:45 am and Sunday school to 9:30am. This change is in effect from 1st April 2024. I
    hope this change will help families to attend Sunday worship regularly and a
    community gathering after the worship service.

    Organization Leaders Meeting.


    The vicar’s meeting with different church organization’s leaders was conducted to
    plan and discuss future projects and programs. After a healthy discussion and
    mutual sharing this meeting ended up with a unanimous decision to revitalize the
    church organizations and work together to achieve the common goal of our parish.

    Completion of CSCC
    The vicar has successfully completed the Creating Safer Communities Course of
    the ADOM, that was a requirement for the Pastoral ministry under Anglican Diocese
    of Melbourne.
    From
    Vicar's Desk
    continued....

    Jumbunna Ministry Conference.


    The three days Ministry Conference of Pastors working under the Jumbunna
    episcopate of ADOM will be held on 5th to 7th of May at Foothill Conference
    Center, Mooroolbark. The vicar will be attending this meeting. I request your
    prayers for God’s blessing upon this gathering.

    Welcome newborn babies.


    Our parish is blessed with two newborn babies. God has blessed Dinu & Deepika,
    Robin & Ancy with thy unfailing love. I appreciate the church committee for
    sparing time to visit these two families to extend our joy and, also to pray for them.

    St. Matthew’s Fund-raising program.


    I thank and appreciate the MCSI families for your heartful support and
    encouragement towards the St. Matthew’s congregation’s fund-raising program,
    ‘Breakfast for a cause’. I have received reports from St. Matthew’s that the
    program was a great success beyond their expectation, and it was only possible
    with the generous support of MCSI families. I believe it was a visible expression of
    our mutual care and unity.

    Let us continue to uphold our mutual love and unity as a sign of our public witness.
    As Jesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love
    one another.” (Jn.13:35).

    Shalom!

    Revd. Bijumon Joseph.
