RIVERSDALE:
HOLY SEALING, ORDINATION & RECTOR CHANGE

On Sunday, 17 May 2026, the Riversdale Central Congregation was richly blessed with a visit from Apostle Jacques Cronje, who conducted the divine service and served the congregation with a text word from 1 Corinthians 4:5. (NKJV)

He was assisted during the service by District Rector, Priest Grandvin Joseph.

A special highlight of the divine service was the dispensation of the Act of Holy Sealing, through which souls received the gift of the Holy Spirit.

After Holy Communion, the Apostle called Brother Emile Joseph to the altar and ordained him as a Deacon for the congregation.

Priest Leon Adams was then called to the altar, where the Apostle released him from his mandate as Rector of Riversdale Central Congregation and expressed sincere gratitude for his dedicated care and service to the congregation and Shepherd Jan Swarts was mandated as the new Rector.

The congregation experienced a truly blessed and memorable divine service in the presence of the Lord. Following the service, the Apostle warmly greeted the members.
