On 20 May 2025, the District Apostle Stefan Pöschel from West Germany visited the Manenberg Congregation in the Duinefontein District.
The invited congregations for this blessed divine service were Downeville, Gugulethu, Manenberg, Manenberg South, Nyanga, and Sherwood Park.
The divine service was based on the word from 2 Timothy 1:14: “That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.”
In his sermon, the District Apostle placed emphasis on preserving our faith, remaining close to God through prayer and His Word, listening to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and staying faithful even during difficult times. He highlighted that the Holy Spirit helps us to live according to God’s will, resist temptation, and keep our faith steadfast at all times.
District Rector Pr. C. Barnes was called upon to serve.
The choir concluded the service with a majestic revised rendition of “Forth, Forth My Heart to Heaven.” The congregation joined in during the final verse, creating a beautiful and uplifting conclusion to the divine service.
