:: Sesquicentennial Greetings
I wish Christ Church, Trivandrum God's bountiful mercies and blessing on your celebration of 150 years of glorious ministry and outreach. I have very fond memories of Christ Church dating back to the 1960's and 1970's. I was a proud member of the Malayalam and English choirs under the leadership of Richie Walsalam and Sunny Walsalam. May the Almighty grant you the power to strengthen your ministry and keep you united as one body of Christ in the years to come.

I am so happy to see the beautiful CSI Church building along with the members in Trivandrum. My thoughts go back and imagine how the planters of this Church around 150 years ago would have planted it. The Spirit of God has hovered over your city and used His dear servants to found and nurture this Church spiritually. This is the time we all should remember all the founding pioneers, Pastors ay leaders and the ancestors of this wonderful Church. I personally greet you all 'THE CHURCH' to see many many joyful days of birth days for generations

In this vast ocean of life and climbing the stairs of my life, I turn back occasionally to see my fruitful life, remembering the beautiful old days, beginning with my baptism, where for the third generation my family was baptised there and buried there. whenever there is the joyous and sadness in life I turn back and see my church even I am not there and I am sure the guiding light from my church is protecting and blessing me everyday of my life. I will be back there where ever I am to have a peaceful life after the short journey of my fruitful life .

WOW my church is 150 yrs ,God bless all the members of the church and all the younger generations to come and let my church be there as a guiding light ,a shining star until the world ends.

We wish and hope the Christ church be a blessing to the society and for the entire Church. May the LORD bless you to make the next 150 years ever even more to celebrate .

Let it also be a time when we focus inwards and place ourselves to make and see it as a real church of the and for the Christ, lord Jesus.

Times come and go, so do and will be the celebrations. but as true children of god we should pledge ourselves more and more to lords work amongst ourselves at this hour of worldwide economic hardships and that will be the greatest greatness for the children of Christ church. Let us be beacons of light than burns and burns for the real glory for the lord, god. may this be a time when we all find the Christ inside us and be true imitation of the Christ in as where we are.

Hearty congratulations, my dear home church.
Indeed, blessed are we, the present members of the Christ Church, Trivandrum, who are specially chosen and allowed to live till day by the Lord to celebrate the 150th anniversary of our church with heart filled with gratitude and joy. It is indeed a rare privilege and an honor to be a part of this year-long celebrations of thanks-giving and dedication for unselfish service of the Lord and the mankind.

It is heartening to note that the various projects proposed like the Feed the Hungry , the Cancer Awareness, the "Great Family Re-union", the final Valedictory Function in November 2009 will be landmark events of the celebration, bringing together the whole congregation for feeding the hungry, caring the sick, building/renovating worshipping centres in poor areas, loving the mankind and uniting souls for the glorification of the Lord.

Now, living thousands of miles away from you all in the far corner of the world, I wish and pray for the success of all the projects and hope to join the programme as early as possible.

May God, the Almighty continue to bless the celebrations, enabling the Church to shine as a beckon light in the capital city of Kerala spreading the message of hope, faith and love around. Hallelujah.

Congratulations on 150 years in ministry in Trivandrum and in all the world. It is a true joy that God allows us to be a part of the growth of His Kingdom. I am sure that you have, and will continue to reflect on His goodness toward your congregation over the years.

The people of Shepherd of Peace in CSI Wesley Church, Vanasthalipuram, give thanks that we, although a much younger congregation (Organized in 1991) are partners in the Gospel with you.

May you have a joyous celebration!

Greetings from the CSI Malayalam fraternity in Singapore. Here we are a fledgling congregation – perhaps the youngest of CSI Malayalam congregations abroad – made up of a smattering of expatriate CSI members from Kerala trying to make a dream come true. There you are celebrating a truly significant landmark. 150 years! Wow! That there is this grand old dame in Trivandrum holding the CSI banner reminds us of a rich history that we are all part of. It humbles us to see the distance we need to traverse, yet encourages us to continue reaching ahead.

Christ Church, Trivandrum, you go, girl!

The people of the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa join me in greeting you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in celebration of your 150th anniversary. It was a joy to celebrate our own 150th year as a Diocese at the time of my election as Bishop in 2003. These are special occasions to give thanks to God for His faithfulness, as well as to recognise the faithful witness to our Lord and Savior down the years of those who have come before us. Often that witness was in difficult times.
In today's world we are blessed to know our brothers and sisters in Christ across cyber space. Know that we remember you in our prayers, and whenever we hear news from India, think of you. God makes you closer to us through this amazing ability to communicate, but also makes us mutually responsible to one another in our being able to connect this way.

Bishop Alan Scarfe
Episcopal Diocese of Iowa


"Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

It pleases us the Christians of the Episcopal Diocese of Torit in South Sudan to salute you in the Gracious name of our living Lord Jesus Christ and Congratulate you for your Sesquicentennial Celebration.

May God Almighty continue to bless you to shine as a light in the world.
