Dear friends,
This was one of the topics raised at the last meeting of Men for the Master and also at the Elder's Retreat earlier this year.. The chairman of Men for the Master Giyani Matampi and others are very supportive of the idea as this fits in with one of the Men for the Master's key goals, that of growing the spirituality of the men of St Mark's. Historically you scribe remembers Joy Vardy, Barbara MacMurray, Elizabeth White and others preaching the Word, but with "professional" support now readily available this could be the way to go for all those keen to share their faith from the pulpit.
Elder Rogers Tem preached the Word on Sunday ably supported by Maxwell Sewornu, who did the readings. So the spirit is already moving.
We would like to hear from you. Post you comment by clicking on the word "comment" on the bottom of this posting.

Some may feel "intimidated" by the concept, but this is an excellent concept for those with the gift of sharing the word. I thought Roger did really well on Sunday. Our Interim Moderator Moshe Rajuili was there to see Roger in action.
ReplyDeleteIts a pity i couldnt be there to witness this great service. But i must say, Men of the Master in my humble opinion have 'highjacked' St' Marks with top class quality service.
ReplyDeleteWell Done Rogers and Men of the Master.

As far as I am concerned I feel that we should first encourage and train the preacher student, before we commit ourselves to more "students" in the pulpit......Helene
