Fusion 2007 – A Festival of Celebration…

St. Thomas Mar Thoma Church of Chicago – a beautiful, magnificent parish built on the foundation of prayer and sacrifice with about 130 families in Lombard, IL celebrated on September 8, 2007, Fusion 2007 - a fund raising event to meet the costs of about $3.5 million spent for the construction of the new parish facility. It was an experience of divine grace through an exercise in spiritual fellowship and commitment. The theme for the dedication of the church was ‘A home for all’ and it challenged the members - Can we make this church truly a home for all – within and without this parish?” By celebrating Fusion 2007 the parish witnessed its commitment to be the servants of our Lord Jesus Christ in the faith journey. The well known singer Mr. J. M. Raju inaugurated the Fusion 2007. Mr. J. M. Raju and his wife Latha rose to the occasion and delighted the audience with their beautiful songs. Rev. Johnson Philip, Vicar of the parish emphasized the need to work together for the glory of God and to rise to greater heights by witnessing Christ. Mr. Jacob George and Mr. Jameson Mathai were the Conveners for the event. Thus Fusion 2007 made another landmark in the history of this parish – a landmark of humility and fellowship bound together by the grace of our Savior Lord Jesus Christ
