Mama Joyce the iron lady of St Mark's calls it a day .... as of tomorrow she is on pension
Caretaker Joyce Mpungose has retired after 17 years of impeccable service to the folk of St Mark's. She will return to Newcastle, KwaZulu Natal, to be with her family and enjoy the life of a lady of leisure. Joyce you deserve it.
In moments of crisis Joyce was always there. She had the workings of our church down pat. When ministers or members of session needed guidance, there was Joyce with the historical intelligence to ease the considerable numbers of hand-overs, we have had over the past few years.
She packed the Bibles away after service, liaised with the gardeners and found lost personal items . Joyce provided cups of tea to the ladies working in the office and to the WA members, before their monthly meetings. Joyce will be an exceedingly hard act to follow. May God guide and lighten her load and give her joy in her retirement.
Blessings,
The St Mark's Editorial Team.
