CHRISTOS MAR THOMA CHURCH

All other prayer meetings, organization meetings, and activities remain in the zoom conference call. All Sunday holy communion services will be in Malayalam led by Rev. Anish Thomas Thomas, except on the 3rd Sunday service. Rev. Thomas K Mathew will lead this service in English. 

As we all come back together in worship and receive the holy communion, we are required to comply with PA state and local guidelines and protocols. 

Here are a few guidelines and reminders to help keep everyone safe…
 Must follow Christos MTC's health and safety compliance with PA State requirements for churches. https://www.phila.gov/media/20200529131928/Guidelines-for-Religious-Institutions.pdf
