New Apostolic Church
Southern Africa
Apostle Gavin van der Hoven visited Durbanville congregation on Sunday, April 14th. The divine service was rooted in the powerful words of Exodus 20:8: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy..."
During the divine service, the Apostle bestowed the ruby wedding anniversary blessing upon Priest Frank and sister Lorraine Jones. He mentioned to the congregation that this couple has supported one another through health adversities and stuck together. It was their faith in God that gave them the strength to continue.
District Elder Deon Dry was also thanked for his dedicated servant leadership as he was placed into retirement. District Elder Dry wrote in his message that his parents laid a firm foundation for his faith life. It is his father who taught him that the work of an usher is very important, as this is the member’s first encounter when attending a divine service.
