It is my joy to write this Independence Day News Letter of our CMA activities. First of all, I would like to give thanks to my living Lord that I was born in my country India. Thanks to Him for the freedom of India from British Raj in the year 1947, 15th August by the Non-Violence Movement of Mahatma Gandhi and freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and many others. Most of all, thanks to our God for giving us freedom without bloodshed.

The Heidelberg Catechism (1563), one of the Three Forms of Unity, is a Protestant confessional document taking the form of a series of questions and answers, for use in teaching Calvinist Christian doctrine. It was published in 1563 in Heidelberg, present-day Germany. Its original title translates to Catechism, or Christian Instruction, according to the Usages of the Churches and Schools of the Electoral Palatinate (source: Wikipedia)

The whole world is under this CORONA pandemic; people are dying everyday. People are harassed and helpless, when Jesus saw this situation, He prayed to the father to send laborers (Matthew 9:36-37) as the Lord did same when He heard and looked at the misery of Israel (Exodus 2:23-25,3:7-10). He came down to rescue them and take them to the promised land, He gave responsibility to Moses.
Therefore Jesus Christ ultimately came down to this earth & died on the cross, buried & resurrected to rescue us from the bondage of sin (Death) and take us to the eternal Kingdom of God in heaven.
This year all believers celebrate this Easter in our respective houses. I personally thank God that every Easter Sunday my wife Sang Yee gives Easter Lily to the House of God. She always bought it from New market. But this year when I was getting ready for Easter Worship she brought Easter Lily in a flower vase to our house altar. Lily was grown in our house garden. God is good all the time.
