Friendship Service | Sunday, 06 September 2026

Date: 06 September 2026
Text: 1 John 5:8

“And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”

What a blessed Friendship Service we shared together as a congregation. 🙏🏽✨

Our service was conducted by Congregation Rector Priest Clint Beech, who called upon Priest Carl Martin to serve for the calling up.

📖 Sunday’s Word: The Saving Effect of the Sacraments

We were reminded that:
• The divine Sonship of Jesus Christ is acknowledged by God the Father.
• The Spirit, the water and the blood point to the saving effect of the sacraments administered in the Church of Christ.
• The sacraments are necessary for obtaining salvation in its fullness.

Following the Divine Service, we enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship, friendship and togetherness as a congregation. 🤍☕️ It was a beautiful opportunity to share in one another’s company and strengthen the friendship of our church family.

May we continue to walk together in faith, love and fellowship, carrying the message of Christ with us throughout the week. 🙏🏽

The focus of the service was the importance of nurturing loving and respectful relationships between parents and children. The message reminded us that God is pleased when families care for, support and value one another.

We were also reminded of the importance of caring for one another, especially during times of need, and of showing love and compassion within our families and congregation. 🤍

✨ Wednesday Service | 29 July 2026 ✨

On Wednesday, 29 July, we were blessed to have our District Rector, J. Bronkhorst, serve the congregation of Protea Heights. 🙏🏽

📖 Service Word: Warning Against Self-Righteousness

Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we were reminded that self-righteousness can quietly find its way into our own hearts even as Christians who consider ourselves devout.

The message encouraged us to remain humble, remembering that our faith should never lead us to look down on those who live their lives or practise their faith differently from us. Instead, we are called to approach others with grace, humility and understanding. 🤍

After the divine service the congregation experienced a beautiful fellowship, sharing in good conversation and community. 🫶🏽

Sunday, 5 July 2026 – Service for the Departed

The 9:00 a.m. Divine Service was conducted by our Rector, Priest Clint Beech, with Priest Lance Sheldon serving alongside him.

The Bible Text that formed the basis of the Divine Service was 1 Peter 4:6.

Jesus’ Descent into the Realm of the Dead

Following His death on the cross, Jesus descended into the realm of the dead, where He preached to those who were in need of salvation and help.

As affirmed in the New Testament, God’s Word and the Holy Sacraments are also accessible to the departed, demonstrating that God’s offer of salvation extends beyond this earthly life.

The Divine Service concluded with a beautiful rendition by the choir, bringing the service to a fitting and uplifting close.
