Pictures say it all

Give Him glory, Give Him glory
We've come to lift our hands and give Him praise
Give Him glory, Give Him glory
We've come to lift our hands and give Him praise

           Growing together in Christ 

2 Thessalonians 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.

IMB Conference at Hillcrest KZN

It was with such excitement to see our ladies rush as they booked their space in the bus ensuring that they were part of the delegation to KZN.   At first people did not believe but as soon as people saw the picture of the bus that would transport them - INTERCAPE BUS- specially hired for Central Region IMB, the excitement grew stronger.  The bus was full and God was with us because the bus company offered us a bus with extra capacity at no additional cost. "If you think God is dead, you better look around"   We would like to thank the ministers who accompanied the ladies to the conference.  Those were  Gasenewe, Koppies, Mcopela and Nxumalo. 
  Rev TM Mcopela amongst the ministers
Siyabonga kubo bonke abaphumelele ukuya KwaZulu Natal.  Ukuphumelela kwenu ukuya lapho kwenze ukuba abantu bazi ngebandla lakithi i Percy Webber. Hlwayelani lokho enifundile lapha ekhaya.

We give thanks  to the Lord for making this trip possible.   The services were such a blessing. The preachers and the worship leaders showed indeed they had done their preparations.  Preacers challenged the congregation and reminded us that we need to always remember that we are called to serve and worship God and God alone.  "We are emptied so that we can be filled by God through Jesus Christ"  This was the final 'nail' as Rev CS Mkhize bade farewell on Sunday morning service. 

Dont be mistaken.  It was not Percy Webber Memorial Church's conference.  It was the Denominational Conference.   Rev DJ Nxumalo and members of our church took the centre stage as we sang and celebrated the choice of being made the chosen nation of God.   On the picture is Mrs M Mthombeni,  Mrs NS Mnweba, Joyce Zonele and Mrs G Kondlo in the background.   Percy Webber was there .

Lest we forget !!

The first South African democratic President Dr Nelson Mandela spent 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. 

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND YOUR 67 minutes  OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO NATION BUILDING ON THE 18TH JULY 2011. 

Teemane Region is 15 Years old !!

To God be the glory.  He has done great things !   We give thanks to the Lord for sustaining the Teemane Region for 15 years!  They took time to celebrate this event in a special way.  Who on earth said our ministers dont get to have fun?  See them in their sport gear. 

Can you please write the comment and name as many ministers as you possibly can.  If you know, please write the names of the church they serve..  Happy naming.   

Sunday School Children

At the recently held Sunday School Day - we celebrated with the kids their own createdness in the image of God.  Children serious at work with the Bible study accompanied by the snack that made it easier to understand the lesson "Eat and Learn" session conducted by the Bridgman Development Centre staff members.  They were also entertained with Jumping Castle, Music, dance.    


Sunday school is getting bigger.  Parents are requested to bring their children for this important foundation-laying program.   Makangabikho osalayo

WOMEN'S MINISTRY (IMB) OUTREACH

Few years ago, UCCSA's theme or slogan (if you like) was extracted from James 2:20  "WE SHOW OUR FAITH BY WHAT WE DO"   The ladies of our church displayed this once again to the orphans at Othandweni Orphanage in Soweto on the 26th June 2011. Accompanied by a number of Youth members, some deacons and members of the church, the entourage arrived at Othandweni with gifts ranging from toiletry, clothes and baby formulae. 

 The main aim was to bring the message of love and hope to those kids - some of whom were picked up dumped in the streets and some left abandoned  by their parents, others are orphans.   

Othandweni provides a home and the warmth that each child deserves.  It was heartwarming to see the dedicated staff members who forsake their families and give of their time to be there for the childen at Othandweni.  We met one lady who has worked there for 27 years. 

Bomama - you have really lifted our flag high.   Halala Percy Webber - nawe uwumncane kumasekethe akhona.
