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.

    24. I will take you from the nations, and gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land.

    25. I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

    26. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

    27. I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.

    28. Then you shall live in the land that I gave to your ancestors; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

    29. I will save you from all your uncleannesses, and I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you.

    30. I will make the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field abundant, so that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.

    31. Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your dealings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominable deeds.

    32. It is not for your sake that I will act, says the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and dismayed for your ways, O house of Israel.

    33. Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the towns to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.

    34. The land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by.

    35. And they will say, “This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined towns are now inhabited and fortified.”

    36. Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places, and replanted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it.

    16. From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way.

    17. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

    18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;

    19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.

    20. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

    21. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

    1. On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

    2. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

    3. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

    4. And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.”

    5. His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

    6. Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

    7. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

    8. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it.

    9. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom

    10. and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

    11. Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
