Thursdays mornings at 9:00 it is Bible study time at Witfontein.
Over the years, a stack of books has been worked through. We as a group have gotten to know each other well by now. Love and sorrow are shared. Experiences where the Lord presses something on our hearts we share with each other. Thursdays from 9:00 to 10:00 are precious time to socialize. We thank the Lord that He brought us together as a group, to learn more from His Word. Newcomers who want to join us are very welcome.
We hold a parish camp every year at a suitable holiday resort. It’s the ideal opportunity to relax with your faith family and forge very strong bonds of friendship in no time.
Walk into our church building on Good Friday, the entrance hall is cold and hard and then the Communion Tables inside huh!!! Black tablecloths, black throw cloths, black cloth hangings around the crotch and the impact? As one member put it “Eerie” (English) Is it weird? No, on the contrary, read Luke 22:44 “It was about twelve o’clock when darkness came over the whole land…”
So did color has an impact on our mindset, our mood. Is it okay to color in? to put on the church building? Don’t let the attention be diverted from the preaching not? Why common church colors? It strengthens the ecumenical bond with us fellow believers.
Further build the correct church colors to the mood of the churchgoers. That’s why we change the colors in the church depending on the Church year.
Why do we each have a responsibility to recycle? With our new recycling area, we want to place a new emphasis on the responsibility of each of us to look after and preserve our environment, which has been entrusted to us. Each of us should become more aware of our environment and how we can recycle. Once we get into the habit of recycling, it’s scary to realize how many things we use that are recyclable. Many times we wonder, what do I do with the things I want to recycle? Now we have a place at the church where we can bring our recycling materials. Here it is picked up and recycled. In this way we also help with job creation. We want to invite you to start even just on a small scale at home by having different containers for glass, cans, plastic containers and see how quickly your container fills up. Why? You and I are stewards. It is our responsibility to look after our world and preserve it.
