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.

Lectionary Theme: Come and dine: Invitation by the risen Lord

  •   

    1. Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

    2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.”

    3. Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah; he left his servant there.

    4. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”

    5. Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.”

    6. He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.

    7. The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.”

    8. He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.

    14. “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God’s creation:

    15. “I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.

    16. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

    17. For you say, ‘I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.’ You do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

    18. Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

    19. I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent.

    20. Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me.

    21. To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

    22. Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

    27. When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.

    28. So they took soundings and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they took soundings again and found fifteen fathoms.

    29. Fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

    30. But when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, on the pretext of putting out anchors from the bow,

    31. Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

    32. Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and set it adrift.

    33. Just before daybreak, Paul urged all of them to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and remaining without food, having eaten nothing.

    34. Therefore I urge you to take some food, for it will help you survive; for none of you will lose a hair from your heads.”

    35. After he had said this, he took bread; and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat.

    36. Then all of them were encouraged and took food for themselves.

    1. After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way.

    2. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

    3. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

    4. Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

    5. Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.”

    6. He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish.

    7. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea.

    8. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off.

    9. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread.

    10. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”

    11. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

    12. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.

    13. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

    14. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. Jesus and Peter
