This week begins with a special service when we are welcoming 5 of our friends as full members in the Methodist Church. Congratulations on being received as Full Members and we are ready to learn from you as well as being led into deeper understanding of Christ by you. This month began with All Saints-day on the 1st of November, and this is followed by Remembrance Sunday. Let us all remember those who offered their lives in the two world wars and later conflicts. The best we can do in memory of these gallant children of the soil is to safeguard the independence which was brought about by those who laid down their lives for us to live peacefully.
I want to thank Revd Ping Ting for holding fort during my absence. I had a fruitful visit where I joined my local church members in rebuilding our church that was blown by the winds and deemed unsafe for worship. The church building is now on slab level and we hope to finish it as soon as possible, resources permitting.
We have a memorial service on the 24th of November 2024. May you invite your friends and relatives for this very special service.
Those who wish to be Full members of the Methodist Church, please see me or any of our stewards.
If you didn’t pick up an envelope last week, some are on the trolley for your donation.
