*Respecting and preserving life*

On Sunday, 30 August 2026, the divine service was conducted by the Rector Steven Poole , accompanied by Priest Benjamin Kinnear

As basis for the divine service, the bible text was taken out of Exodus 20 verse 13:
*You shall not murder.*

Message
*God alone is Lord over life and death.*

Summary
■ The Fifth Commandment serves to protect human life.
■ Jesus Christ expands on the meaning of this commandment: violence already has its roots in anger and hatred, which are themselves violations of God’s will.
■ We are called upon to respect, protect, and promote life.
■ Even if we at times fail in our endeavour to follow God’s commandments,the following applies to the humble: His mercy is greater than our imperfection.

As a congregation we also witnessed the appointment of our new Young People's leader for the congregation, Br Keegan Damonse.
We wish him well in his new responsibility.
