On Sunday 23 June 2004, Bishop J Cook conducted a divine service in Lantana Congregation in the Paarl district. The Bishop was accompanied by the District Rector, Shepherd Peter Groenewald and all the Rectors of the Paarl district.
The Bible text used for the divine service was Exodus 20:8.
District Rector Groenewald was called upon to serve.
After the celebration of Holy Communion, the Bishop placed two Deacons and two Priests into retirement. In thanking them for their labours of love, he shared a special Bible text from Luke 16:10a with them.
The divine service was concluded with a joyful rendition of “We shall remain united”, after which the Bishop greeted and interacted with the members.
