Dear Member,

Welcome to the Hermon Mar Thoma Church Youth Fellowship!

It is a pleasure for Jaysly, Steve and I to be working one more year for the Hermon Mar Thoma Church Youth Fellowship. We hope everyone is excited about the New Year like we are. We pray that this year will be a blessed year for both our Youth Fellowship and for our church. We hope to plan and coordinate fun events like we did last year. We wish to notify each and every one of you that there will be a informational meeting immediately after the worship service on January 4th, 2009. We will be re-registering names for those who wish to be part of the Hermon Mar Thoma Church Youth Fellowship in 2009. And just as a reminder please remember that the age requirements for our group is ages 12 and above.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Serving Christ Together,

Sean George                           Jaysly George

Those of you who are not there at the youth meeting will get a person assigned by us. (If you do not know the concept of Secret Santa you can re-search it online or speak to one of us about it) We will exchange gifts on December 20th (the day of our Christmas Program). The gifts can cost from $10.00 (minimum) to $20.00 (maximum).

If you have any questions please feel free to speak to any of the Office Bearers.

  • Sunday, September 21, 2008 ~ Prayer Session for Johnson uncle~

    • We request ALL YOUTH MEMBERS to report to the Gym (aka Fellowship Hall) immediately after the English Holy Communion Service to participate in a Special Prayer Session for Johnson Uncle. For as it says in St. Mark Chapter 11 verses 22, 24:  ”Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours.” Please make all effort to be at Next Sunday’s service and participate in this Prayer Session. If you know in advance you will not be coming to church because of transportation problems then PLEASE car pool with someone.

    We were requested with a prayer request from some of the youth members of the Staten Island Mar Thoma Church Youth Fellowship (Staten Island, New York).The Staten Island Mar Thoma church is Geen’s, Joel’s Sean’s,Nibin’s, Jaysly’s,& Vibin’s hometown church back in New York.

    One of their youth members, Mr. Arun Chacko, had gone in for a surgery for his dislocated shoulder. After surgery he had a     Anastasia Complication. Now he is going through severe pain and also he can’t breathe on his own and currently is in critical condition.We request all of you to pray for Arun and his family. Please pray that God will work a miracle in Arun and relieve everything from him because with God’s help EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Like it says in James 5: 15-16: “And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”

Sam Abraham and the Youth Chaplain of the Southeast Region, Rev. Mathew Skariah. The retreat was a huge sucess. We would like to thank everyone who came out and made this event awesome. We thank Sam Achen and Skariah Achen for their leadership and all those who helped out in the retreat like chaperone’s. (We will have pictures up from the retreat soon!)

    Here is a message from Skariah Achen:

    Dear Sam Achen, Johnson and all the Hermons…

    It was indeed a great honor to be part of the fantastic team for Jesus and His Kingdom called HMTC Youth Group. I felt as if I was at home with you guys. As I struggled with the theme, “Stand still…”, I felt God speaking to me through Moses. There were times when I was confused as to what I should bring to you..but I felt the stillness. we experienced it as a group from the days of preparing for the camp. I am sure that God has spoken through the various events of the camp…through our sharing, interaction, worship, talks and as Siby rightly put it, even through our “side conversations”.
    I am thankful to God for the leadership that you have in Sam Abraham Achen .
    I am so glad to have met each and every one of you….it was a great leaning experience for me. God has blessed me in my time with you.
    My wife Jisha, and son Reuben shares the joy with me, though they missed the Blue Ridge Mts…when I explained how we had professional pool being played, he was begging to take him to the retreat.
    We need your prayers…a lot…
    In Him
    Rev. Mathew Skariah (samachn )
