Relationship & Responsibility
July, 2025
Dear In Christ Washington Church Family,
Grace and peace be with you! We enter the month of July, the first month of the second part of 2025. We have experienced God’s faithfulness in our ministries and lives. Some of the experiences brought joy and cheerfulness and others brought sadness and loss. However, God is with us and continues to guide us with more hope and more power.
I am incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished so far: a small but mighty, relatively young but diverse congregation. However, we have a long journey to give the fruit of the Spirit through our worship, witness, and work. We have our Church Retreat from July 18th to 20th and will have wonderful preaching bringing God’s word to us. Pray for our speaker Rev Collins D’Cruz. Please make plans so that no one would miss our retreat. We have a wonderful team organizing the retreat.
Some of our families are planning to travel locally and also overseas. Let us pray for their travel mercy in these summer holidays. God has given us the promise of the month from Deuteronomy 28:18-19.” Also today the Lord has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments, 19 and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and honor, and that you may be a]holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken.” The covenant relationship with God has responsibilities. We have a responsibility to listen to God and God promises to bless us for his glory.
May the Lord bless you to bless and honor you this month and through you, may the Lord touch the lives of others in the community through our fruit of the Spirit.
Blessings
Rev Dr Devadosan Sugirtharaj.
