2. Vicar's Message
Message for the month of July
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Thank God for protecting us during the last month. The month of July is exceptional for us. As we celebrate our
nation's birthday on July 4th, we are reminded of the blessings of freedom and liberty that we enjoy. May we also
remember the ultimate freedom we have in Christ Jesus, who sets us free from the bondage of sin and darkness.
Let us honour our country's Independence by honouring the One who gives us true freedom. May our lives reflect
the values of faith, hope, and love, and may we continue to shine the light of God's truth in our community and
beyond. Join us for our special Independence Day service as we worship, pray, and celebrate our freedoms.
In the month of July we meditate on the themes; Tithe offering, Pastoral Ministry, People of God and Gifts of the
Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 9:8, says , "And God can bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all
times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." Our gift and talents are seeds that will reap
a harvest of blessings for you and others.
May God bless our homes and our families.
May God bless our hearts with hope and our lives with purpose.
And may God forever be our guide and our strength.
With Prayers
Rev Jobin John
