Sophia Williamson, chairlady of the Women's Association, woke up to a big day ... this would not be a run of the mill Saturday. The WA had organised two major events back to back from 14h00 - first was the decorating of St Mark's for the Harvest Festival and secondly it was Perpetue's Baby Shower.
Mindful of the tasks at hand the Men for the Master arrived to lend a hand as well and soon bags of vegetables, fruits, maize meal and rice were artfully strewn up front for all to see. A bowl of magnificent sunflowers made the scene just that bit more jolly ahead of Harvest Festival on Sunday.
The congregation had given generously and the charities that will benefit from these "fruits of the earth" will have meaningful contributions. That distribution will take place on Monday. Our thanks goes to the women of the church for making it another memorable year.
Solomon and Perpetue's Baby Shower was tempered with a bit of concern. Solomon had left for Johannesburg Hospital on Saturday morning thinking he would bring his wife and young son David home. This was not to be. David, who has a form of jaundice, is not well enough to come home as yet, but the party went ahead anyway and Solomon thanked one and all for the gifts that he and Perpetue will find most useful in the weeks to come. Please uphold them in prayer and pray for a speedy recovery for newborn David.

This is a beautiful arrangement, as good as any we have had in the past. Thank you all. Solomon and family are in our prayers.
