SPECIAL PRAYERS During this Africa Month, we bring before you Lord, this continent

all her children to be guided and protected by you, and for the

leaders placed before your people, especially the newly elected

Leadership of South Africa. May this new era be lead, in fulfilment of God’s will, for the

people of God. We pray for all who are sick at home and in hospitals especially Mr

Mfundo Manqle, and may they recover well and keep their faith in God who heals all

wounds. We pray for the souls of the faithful departed, those we know, and those we

don’t know, especially Mr Tisetso Mothapa. Grant eternal rest unto them O Lord.

Ascension Day Service

“While he was blessing them,

he left them and was taken up

into heaven.” (Luke 24:51).

There will be a service this Thursday to

commemorate Christ’s ascension into

heaven. Details of the service are as follow

Date: 30 May 2019

Time: 10:00

Celebrant: Revd AM Khumalo

Food for thought: Christ before his Ascension, comforted His disciples in knowing that we have the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, who even in the absence of the physical Christ, will always remind us of our aspirations of being Christ-like. We may call it conscience, or “that inner voice”, but we feel Christ’s presence in all walks of life, reminding us to love God, and each other. Once we carry that love, we reincarnate Christ in ourselves, and so then, this world still has Christ in it, with us being His embodiment.

Prayer Request

Please keep Mr Mfundo Manqele close in

your thoughts and prayers. Mr Manqele is

currently ill at The Baragwanath Hopsital, in

ward 22. Let us pray for his speedy recover

and for the well being of all who are ill, at

home or in hospitals.
