Our probationer is no more. The forever smiling Solomon Surwumwe is now the "Reverend" Solomon Surwumwe. He was officially ordained by the Presbytery of eGoli at 15h00 on Sunday as the minister of St Mark's in Yeoville.
The young man from Rwanda, who is married to Perpetue, is the father of a lively son David. And the flock, which he will shepherd for the next three years, like David, looks forward in hope to spiritual growth, joy and happiness as we worship the Lord our God together.
Sunday's service was a celebration of the diversity of Africa as congregants young and old, joined hands on this historic day. Catch all the action on our slide show as we welcome Reverend Solomon Surwumwe.
Blessings,
The St Mark's editorial team.
St Mark's welcomes Solomon as we transform to meet the challenges of the 21st century. God is with us.
ReplyDeleteWe have plenty to do. The Reverend will need an office, a place where we can visit him. God will bless the way forward.
ReplyDeleteSolomon was quite serious during the service but once it was over he relaxed and enjoyed speaking to the many visitors. We need to pray for him and the congregation, during this somewhat challenging time of transformation.
