The Mission Festival was celebrated on 21 July 2019, starting with the Holy Communion Service at 7.30 am. The Sale was inaugurated by our Presbyter Rev. Dr. Paul V Birla after the service. All fellowship groups participated in the sale by putting up stalls. There was breakfast and other stalls selling eatables and homemade goodies.

Our new Presbyter Rev. Dr. V. Paul Birla began his tenure at STEC in June 2019. We extended a warm welcome to him and his family during the first Sunday in June. You can find out more about our Pastor and his ministry here.

A commemorative stone tablet with a brief note on the 175-year history of our Church was unveiled by Rev. Richard Ambrose Jebakumar on 26 May 2019. You can find this at the entrance, near the main door of the Church.

The Vacation Bible School was held in our Church from 24 April to 4 May 2019. Around 140 children from our parish and the surrounding areas participated in the VBS. ‘Come, let us go to Galilee’ was the theme this year, and many joined in enthusiastically by volunteering and teaching in the VBS.

Palm Sunday was celebrated on 14 April 2019, with a procession. The Church was decorated with palm leaves, and the congregation went on a procession to the main gate, where they assembled and sang songs and read the Bible. Our Choir sang a special cantata during the Passiontide Recital in the evening.
