Dear Christ lovers,

Cricket lovers gathered for an exciting day of  showcasing their in depth cricket talent on the Day of 77th  Independence of our country India. 

It is always exciting and fascinating to talk about cricket to our talented cricketing disciples in our family of churches.

August 15th was an awesome and an incredible day where the Dindigul church in South Tamil Nadu organized a 4 team Tennis ball Cricket Tournament in Don Bosco seminary center ground.

It is so patriotic to start the event with India Flag hoisting & singing National Anthem.

A short message from the Bible - Galatians 5:1 on freedom in Christ shared to take the event more uplifting to each other. 

Disciples teams from Nagercoil, Erode, Madurai and the host Dindigul combining  Theni participated and showed their power packed players performance with sky rocketing sixes which left many in a shock to witness such a spirited games.

League matches held for all teams facing each other once and top 2 teams Nagercoil & Madurai played the Finals. 

Nagercoil crowned Champions at the end. Madurai got the runners of the tournament. Erode and Dindigul took 3rd & 4th place respectively. Trophies and medals were given to the Finalists and Best performers. 

Kids were also there to participate in few water related games and they were given medals.

Special Biryani lunch was given to their hunger and lemon juices all over all day for all refreshments.

Everyone enjoyed the time of fellowship fun & feast and were greatly welcomed again for its kind.


We thank God for the opportunity to serve each other and encourage admonish one another to give Glory to God at the end.

You just need to forgive, right? - Andrew Kitchen

SPIRITUAL RENOVATION Fresh thoughts about following Jesus You need to forgive and move on. Right? Or maybe it’s actually very wrong. Someone has said terrible things to you, accused you, treated you harshly, possibly spiritually abused you in a church setting and now you are being told to forgive your perpetrator, because, … you know, forgiveness is what Christians are supposed to do. This scenario has played out on more than one occasion . It’s common! So how to deal with it when it comes your way? The first thing to recognize is that this kind of language is very simply an extension of the original abuse. It is a simple bid to excise the perpetrator from any repentance or restorative action. It’s a lot easier to trundle out these seven words than to perform any serious introspection. Hey, if it works five times out of ten it’s worth it. If it works one time out of ten it’s still worth it. Avoiding accountability for actions has a big payoff. But, holy smokes… the carnage. The damage.
