My dear People,

On the 4
th
Sunday of this month, we celebrate
our 17
th
anniversary. Over the years we have
had new people join us, while some others have
moved from Lucknow. As we look back, we see
the hand of God at every step. As a church we
have grown. We have grown in our love for
God, in our faith in the Lord and in our love
for one another.

God has blessed us so much during the years
gone by. He has given us a beautiful
sanctuary, He has helped us to start a church
in the village and then build a larger sanctuary
there. He has helped us to start Hindi
services in the city; He has given us a good
worship team, a Sunday school and a youth
group.

All these years our path has not been an easy
one. We have faced troubles and difficulties.
But in spite of all that we exist as a church
because God wants us to be the church in this
part of Lucknow.

As we enter into our 18
th
year we have to
recognize the fact that there can be no
stagnation in Christian life. We are yet to
make a difference in our neighbourhood. To do
this we need to ask the Lord to show us what
we are to do. Lets pray together, think
together and work together to become a
channel of Gods grace here in Mahanagar.
Love,
Raja.
