New Apostolic Church
Southern Africa
On a radiant Saturday morning, February 10, the Durban North Congregation of the New Apostolic Church, KZN-Mpumalanga District, became a vibrant hub of fellowship and joy as it opened its doors to welcome the newest members of its young people community.
This special gathering was organised to celebrate the young people who have recently taken a significant step in their spiritual journey through confirmation. It was a day marked by warmth, laughter, and the forging of new friendships, underlining the congregation's commitment to nurturing a supportive and inclusive community.
The event kicked off with a hearty breakfast, where the air was filled with the aroma of delicious food and the sound of eager conversation. This meal served as more than just sustenance; it was a symbol of the congregation's hospitality and a tangible expression of the fellowship that is a cornerstone of the church's values.
As plates were cleared and appetites satisfied, the day transitioned into a series of activities designed to foster connections among the youth. The focus was on getting to know each other, with the congregation's newest members sharing their stories, aspirations, and experiences. This exchange was not just about learning names and faces but about building the bonds that form the foundation of a strong and supportive community.
The highlight of the day's fellowship was board games that turned the congregation hall into a lively arena of strategy, teamwork, and fun. Laughter and cheers punctuated the air as the young people navigated the playful competition, demonstrating that fellowship and faith can go hand in hand with fun and games.
