During a combined service for the congregations of Devon Park, Happy Valley and The Conifers, held in Forest Village congregation, Apostle Neville Williams used a Bible text from Luke 18:13 as a basis for the sermon.
During the divine service, two Rectors, Community Evangelist Frank Geduld (Happy Valley) and Community Evangelist Cecil Rhode (Devon Park), were placed into retirement.
Priest Ashley Crouch was also released from his mandate as the Rector of The Conifer congregation, as he was appointed to take care of the Young People throughout the District Apostle Area.
For these reasons, three new Rectors were appointed: Community Evangelist Johan Zimri of Malibu Village was appointed as Rector for The Conifers, Priest Shawn Jacobs of Gaylee was appointed as Rector for Devon Park and Community Evangelist Gregory Otto of Devon Park as Rector for Happy Valley.
