Dear members of St John’s family, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
First of all let me thank all the members who attended the family Retreat at the UK Farms in Shamirpet. It was a
wonderful experience for all those who attended, and for those of you who could not
attend due to various reasons, better luck next time. I would like to take this opportunity to

Greetings in the precious name of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Amidst all the hurly-burlies
in the city, He had been gracious enough to
guard us and grant us with some very
interesting events that still keep our spirits
rejuvenated and bound closer. The family
retreat hosted by the Udaia Kumar’s was one
of its kind. God bless the family abundantly.
We are glad to introduce two more
columns in Parish Messenger namely “I
TASTED JESUS,” which is a column for
personal testimonies and REFLECTION,
which would give extra information about
unfamiliar or less studied characters in the
Bible. Every issue will feature a character
and I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr.
Samson Gandhi and Mr. Surender Pavamani
who generously consented to contribute to this
column. Congregation members who have
relevant information are also welcome to
contribute.
I should appreciate Chitranjan, S/O
Mrs. Lalitha Christian, from Denver for his
article. Though he lives far from the St. John┬Тs
family by distance, his article has brought him
closer to us. Far, yet so near! I encourage all
the NRI members to stay connected as well.
After all it’s a small world and we’re all just a
click away!
“Children gift of God” what an
amazing response to this theme! The greatest
gift for a man can only be his children and
one need not ask parents about their children.
What a great bond our Lord has established
between parents and children! More than
anything, I think we should thank God for this
bond which fulfils our lives. God Himself
cherishes everytime we call Him father.
Let’s call Him as many times as we can
through the day and glorify Him.
May God bless you all.
Prayerfully yours,
- Neema Rajakumar
