Coffee,
craft and conversation
Friday
morning (9am) is a pleasant time for ladies from the community to
meet at the church for a time of fellowship and craft activities.
A variety of hobbies is enjoyed and instruction is offered to beginners.
They hope to establish three or four new crafts during each school
term. This is a special group for meeting women in the urban area
of Glenvale. Lara Hagedoorn is very much involved.
Session
The
Session (or Church Council) is the governing body of the church
and is made up of men who serve as elders or deacon. Members of
the congregation are allotted to individual elders so that all worshippers
have the opportunity of encouragement in their spiritual life. Sometimes
the session will call meetings of the congregation on matters of
importance. The well-being of the church is very much in the hands
of the elders. Input of the people is gained through listening by
elders and their operation at council meetings. The Pastor acts
as Chairman of the Session. A Board of Management meets regularly
to manage the finance and maintenance of the buildings and property.
The contact is Leo Baas.
Yearbook
The
Church maintains a Year Book to ensure that each family member is
well ascribed. This document contains the list of families, postal
and e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and birthdays. People are
urged to keep this information complete as new members attend the
church. Each member has a copy.
| Friends
& Neighbours |
|
 |
Every
member of the church is important. New people are invited
to join the groups most suited to their need. A special programme
is the Friends and Neighbours meetings on Tuesday morning.
It results in a time of board games and other recreational
activities. The gathering is begun at 10am and a small period
of devotion is held before activities which conclude at midday.
Aart Osinga is the person to contact. |
Church
News
Each
Sunday produces a "Church News". Parishioners are provided
with a sheet giving details of services, news and activities for
the coming week. It provides details of rosters for folk to perform
particular duties on that day or later. Items for publication should
be sent to the Pastor early in the week.
