The future is created through our past thoughts, words and actions. The future is the reaping of the seeds that we have sown in the past, whether those seeds are good or bad. Each sustained thought, every word we utter, and every action we take is a seed we will reap in our future

To create a beautiful future, make as many of your thoughts as possible good ones, speak good and kind words, and make sure your actions come from goodness.

Your future depends upon it.

God Bless You

Fr Tiju Varghese Vellappallil

The Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church in Abu Dhabi, renamed as St. Stephen’s Church, Abu Dhabi, and established on November 21, 1968, has remained a steadfast pillar of spiritual strength and unity for the faithful throughout the decades. Despite challenges along the way, the community continues to stand firm in its unwavering commitment to the Holy See of Antioch and the Holy Church.

This shared journey of faith has helped us overcome many trials, reaffirming the importance of spiritual integrity and true belief. As the Holy Father reminds us, even a single believer standing with conviction can uphold the sacred bond with the Church of Antioch.

As we step into the year 2025, we envision a time of renewal, growth, and togetherness. The committee remains dedicated to launching initiatives that uplift the parish and address challenges with strength and grace. With collective effort, unity, and prayer, we strive toward a future filled with hope and blessings.

We take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to the UAE Government and the Rulers of Abu Dhabi for graciously granting freedom of worship to all believers.

Let us continue to pray together and remain steadfast as one family, trusting that God will fulfill our long-awaited dreams in His perfect time.

With love and prayers,
Church Secretary
(Year 2025- 2026)
