    Eng Hn Mal

    1. Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the Lord; my strength is exalted in my God. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in my victory.

    2. “There is no Holy One like the Lord, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

    3. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

    4. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble gird on strength.

    5. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry are fat with spoil. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

    6. The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

    7. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts.

    8. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and on them he has set the world.

    9. “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness; for not by might does one prevail.

    10. The Lord! His adversaries shall be shattered; the Most High will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed.” Eli’s Wicked Sons

    11. Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, while the boy remained to minister to the Lord, in the presence of the priest Eli.

    26. Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

    27. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

    28. God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are,

    29. so that no one might boast in the presence of God.

    30. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

    31. in order that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

    1. My point is this: heirs, as long as they are minors, are no better than slaves, though they are the owners of all the property;

    2. but they remain under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father.

    3. So with us; while we were minors, we were enslaved to the elemental spirits of the world.

    4. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

    5. in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children.

    6. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

    7. So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. Paul Reproves the Galatians

    26. In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

    27. to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

    28. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”

    29. But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

    30. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

    31. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.

    32. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.

    33. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

    34. Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”

    35. The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.

    36. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.

    37. For nothing will be impossible with God.”

    38. Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. Mary Visits Elizabeth

Message From Vicar In Charge: Rev. Biju P. Simon

Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, one true God.As a Church, we are entering into the season of Pentecost.The Feast of Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit is a strengthening Spirit, commissioning us to bear witness to Him in the world. It is a Spirit of authority and a Spirit of reconciliation, convincing the world about Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment. In June, we also celebrate Fathers Day, a time to honor the leaders, intercessors, and role models in our families. Let us remember the words of Ephesians 6:4: Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. This month, our church is also observing Environmental Sunday, which highlights the importance of Gods providence for creation and our human responsibility as stewards to protect and care for Gods creation.

Message From Youth Chaplain : Rev. Jess M. George Achen

Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One true God! Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we approach Christmas, our hearts are filled with joy and anticipation, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to bring salvation and hope. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians (2:5-11), provides profound insight into the true significance of Christmas through the concept of kenosis, which means self-emptying.
