3 Jerusalem Marthoma Church, Ambarnath 48 th Annual Report and Statement of Audited Accounts for the Year & Budget for the Year Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us; and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord! (Psalms 117: 1-2) 1. INTRODUCTION Dear Parishioners, Church is the body of Christ and its mission is to be as an instrument to spread God s love in this world. We, as the body of Christ, are here to manifest the love of God and struggle against the forces of division, injustice and oppression around us. Our primary duty as a true Christian, is to spread the love of God and light of the Gospel in the midst of violence, terrorism and injustice. Our Parish has completed 48 years of glorious existence in Ambarnath, and nearing to the Golden Jubilee. Thanks to almighty God who has amazingly sustained us, as a Church in Ambarnath during the last 48 years. This is a wonderful occasion to evaluate and estimate our response to God and His ministry entrusted to us, the call and our commitment, our vision and mission, our blessings and drawback, achievements and shortcomings and to rededicate ourselves, at the altar of God s Grace to receive strength to continue God s mission and to be the channels of peace and reconciliations in our society. One of the major decisions taken by the Managing Committee during the year was the renovation/construction of the Parsonage building. Even though the General Body has given approval to the decision, and all the members have generously offered their contributions for fund raising, we could not start the construction work in , as processing the case for getting approval from the Local Authorities was delayed due to some unavoidable reasons. Let us remember, Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the LORD keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. (Psalms 127:1). God, who has led us thus far, is faithful and great. When challenges and uncertainties lashed on our plans and projects, God directed our ways to His perfect destiny. I would like to express our thanks to the Building Committee/responsible persons working on the project, and also request all the members to remember the project in their daily prayers. I wish all the best to the Managing Committee of , to complete the project during their tenure, for dedication in the Golden Jubilee year With praises to the Almighty Lord who has molded us in his tender hands, I present to you, on behalf of the executive committee, the 48th Annual Report for the year , Statement of Audited Accounts for the Year and Budget for the Year
