Henna Ladies Group

Hen Party or swans?

Our ladies group - named after a beautiful flower in the Bible met at "Jeannelies" for morning tea for our end of year celebration. We shared about our families and Christmas plans while swans floated nearby on the water. We finalised the details for the visit to the Sonop Old Age Home on the 1st December, where we will be singing carols and serving lunch with help from volunteers from the rest of both congregations.

Youth

Youth Bible Study and Fun
On Friday evenings the Youth from Harties and Brits churches have been meeting together for Bible Study, followed by nice food prepared by the moms and then a fun game. Jan and Angela have been helping us and lately we have been studying the book of Titus and have enjoyed grappling together verse by verse with what God is calling us to do and how to live.










Beetle Drive we discovered is not where we got to drive a Volksie, aah gee, but had to draw beetles with the correct number of legs, eyes and antennae! It was the boys team who seemed to win time and time again. But when it came to a winking game and "killing" our fellow youth, the girls were good!

Leaving the nest

We pray for both churches in this new season of growth and adventure. We are still all ONE in Christ our Saviour and will have lots of fellowship together. It is not good-bye, but God bless.

Blessed to be a blessing

Our church is fulfilling a big dream - to start another congregation at the Hartbeespoortdam.On Sunday the 28th October, we celebrated our last combined service at Brits - exciting, scary, tearful, momentous, challenging......you can imagine the host of emotions.
The Lord has blessed us at Brits to the extent that we feel the time is right to take this leap of faith.
The Hoffies wrote a new little verse to the song "I'm blessed and I know that I am-
I’m blessed to be a blessing every moment of the day
I’m blessed to be a blessing in All I do and all I say
I’m blessed to be a blessing when I work and when I pray
I’m blessed to be a blessing
I`M BLESSED!
I`M BLESSED!
I`M BLESSED!
At the end of the service we formed 2 circles - the Brits congregation enfolding the ones who were setting out and prayers were offered. The fledgling church is ready to fly.
