FRIDAY 30 JULY 2010
ASCENSION FLASH – CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION, HILTON
Dear parishioners,
I’m sure that everyone present in church last Sunday was deeply moved and impressed by the personal story shared by an amazing woman of faith, Zandile Khoza, who leads the Crèche near the Rotunda at Cedara / Emandleni. Her story, and the screened pictures Andy showed us of work already done thanks to the assistance of parishioners, was inspiring. Read more about it in your Magazine…
As this week ends and my Long Leave approaches from this Monday, I have become ill. To be on the safe side, Ron Nicolson has stepped in to preach, although I should still be able to lead services and say “goodbye for the next two months”!
With prayers and greetings to you all Nic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HUGE INTERNET DISTURBANCE AFFECTING PARISH OFFICE EMAILS Please note that we often have intermittent ADSL service, due to faulty Telkom lines in our area. On one recent day, our Internet service provider, M-Web, could detect that our Internet / Email connection had been dropped no less than 20 times! Recent letters to the press indicate this is a problem in other areas as well. It sometimes delays sending of emails, and can occasionally result in non-receipt of emails as well, but we hope this is now being sorted out; Telkom recently did repair work, resulting in improvement.
MAGAZINE A Parish Magazine is ready for distribution. We thank Area Visitors who will distribute it to most parishioners. Some who live where we have no Area Visitors will receive it by post. It will include the following information:
Rector’s Long Leave – and who to contact if you need a priest Parish Fund Raising – Disappointments and Hopes Spring Dinner in September Thanksgiving Dinner in October Crèche in our Neighbourhood Parish Wish List updated Half-Year Financial Report Back
THIS SUNDAY – 01 AUGUST Ron will preside and Nic will (hopefully) preach at both services
A collection towards our weekly food parcels will be taken – every Sunday from now on, no longer only on the first Sun of each month. Nic will explain the thinking behind this at services on Sunday.
