Thursday part 2!

Over supper my photos started to upload, and then finished off all in a rush. So here they are, before they vanish again! I'll try to take more tomorrow and upload them.

In the meantime, do pray for +Steve and the family. They were supposed to be going to a family gathering on Saturday. But this afternoon he had a call from the Archbishop telling him that as dean of the Province he is required at a meeting in Cape Town. It takes around 6 hours to get there from here, and another 6 to get home,  all for a meeting of about 3 hours. On Sunday he has a confirmation at the Cathedral with over 100 candidates. There is no way he will  make the family gathering which is about a 3 hour drive from here, and I sense that Brenda feels too tired to do the long drive. Difficult all round!

The new Diocesan Centre, consecrated in February this year. Originally a Dutch Reformed Church, it is a real symbol of Reconciliation. At the moment the Diocesan Offices are behind this, (you can just see them through the open doors) and very cramped. They are hoping to move into a house in the grounds at the end of this year when the current occupant vacates it.

The Altar was paid for by a church in Lichfield Diocese. In the grounds of the church is a large hall, and every Sunday a Biker Church meets there, bringing income for the Diocese.

Kgowe, wedding ring to the fore, standing behind the altar with one of the candle holders from Mirfield. Now  married, both traditionally and legally, he is studying theology with a view to ordination.
