On Wednesday 27 September 2023, the District Rector, Shepherd Cedric Hagglund, visited the congregation of Tuscany Glen for a divine service, which also marked the occasion of the retirement of two Priests who served in the congregation for several years. Priest Craig Adams served for 24 years (13 years as Priest) and Priest Moses Andrews served for 28 years (20 years as Priest).
The festive atmosphere and excitement of the members was palpable. The District Rector expounded on the message of the importance and indispensable ministry of the Apostles of Jesus today. The two Priests, who collectively served in the ministry for 52 years, also dedicated their lives to the service of the Lord and in unity with the Apostle.
A fitting tribute to the two Priests was presented when a male trio sang the hymn "To Jesus my life I have given" at which point the District Rector placed them into retirement.
An emotional greeting of the congregation and exchanges of well wishes for the retired Priests followed after the divine service.
