Welcome To Melbourne Mar Thoma Church

A Brief History of Mar Thoma Church Melbourne Parish

The early beginning and growth of the Mar Thoma Congregation in Melbourne may be viewed in the context of several Episcopal visits to Australia from 1970. A homegroup of the Mar Thoma people was formed after the visit of Bishop Thomas Mar Athanasious in 1980. Initially, the homegroup met once a year and then it became twice yearly on a regular basis in various homes for Bible study and fellowship. Later we moved to a church hall in Vermont and started conducting Divine Services.

    1. Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.

    2. Happy is the mortal who does this, the one who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it, and refrains from doing any evil.

    3. Do not let the foreigner joined to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from his people”; and do not let the eunuch say, “I am just a dry tree.”

    4. For thus says the Lord: To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast my covenant,

    5. I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

    12. Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

    13. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed.

    14. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you.

    15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, a criminal, or even as a mischief maker.

    16. Yet if any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear this name.

    17. For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, what will be the end for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

    18. And “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinners?”

    19. Therefore, let those suffering in accordance with God’s will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator, while continuing to do good.

  •   

    3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation,

    4. who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.

    5. For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ.

    6. If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering.

    7. Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our consolation.

    62. The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

    63. and said, “Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

    64. Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.”

    65. Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.”

    66. So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
