Adopt-a-Grandparent Day was a wonderful success!

The Sasolburg Sunday School hosted a special breakfast on 21 March in honour of our senior members, with our ministers also in attendance. The morning was filled with joy as coordinators and Sunday School teachers organised a variety of engaging activities for everyone to enjoy.

Despite the rainy weather, the excitement never faded. Guests took part in fun games, lucky draws with fantastic prizes, and enjoyed the ever-popular photo booths, which were a highlight for both young and old.

We are truly grateful for the sense of fellowship this event fostered and hope to see it become an annual tradition, continuing to bring our congregation closer together.

Potjie kos fun brings Sasolburg Seniors and Youth Together

When the Seniors and Young People from Sasolburg gathered for a potjie kos event on the 25th of October, no one expected the youngsters to give the seniors a competition! Even previous potjie kos champions were impressed by the delicious dishes prepared by the youth.
The afternoon began with retired Priest Reyneke giving a safety briefing, followed by instructions for everyone to prepare their own ¼-size potjie. A wide variety of ingredients were laid out in the centre of the table. So many, in fact, that choosing was a challenge! This abundance led to an exciting mix of flavours and creative combinations as everyone crafted their own unique dish.
Soon the room was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of simmering potjies. People wandered from pot to pot, tasting, sharing advice, and exchanging compliments. Laughter and easy conversation flowed around the small fires, strengthening bonds between young and old alike.

As the day went on, many started their second potjie, experimenting with bolder flavour combinations. Just when everyone thought the young cooks couldn’t impress any further, they out did themselves yet again. With full stomachs and happy hearts, conversations grew deeper and more meaningful.

Dessert was served under the shade of the trees. Everyone enjoyed a rich chocolate dessert with ice-cream and custard. A perfect ending to a day filled with laughter and reflection, as plans for even more memorable moments together were made.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the dedicated coordinators who spent months preparing for this special day. The young and the young-at-heart alike had the time of their lives and are truly grateful to everyone who made this unforgettable day possible.

On the 2nd of November we celebrated the Service for the Departed. Remembering those who entered the yonder world. We prepare ourselves not only for those we know, but all who may come through us to Christ.

We want to thank all involved in setting the mood for the service with a beautifully decorated altar. A kind gesture was made by the sponsor to hand out the arrangements to the minsters/wives of ministers after service to thank them for all they do.

We ask your prayers as preparations are underway for our Chief Apostle's arrival.

On Sunday, 20 July, the Sasolburg congregation gathered for a special and heartfelt service to honour the retirement of Priest Markus Reyneke, who served faithfully for 36 years in the ministry. The service was conducted by District Rector Kuchenbecker, who based the divine message on Acts 9:31:

"Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied."

In his sermon, District Rector Kuchenbecker spoke about divine peace, highlighting how it creates space for inner growth and spiritual development. He encouraged the congregation to continue cultivating peace, mutual respect, and love, reminding all that through the Holy Spirit, our fellowship is strengthened. He emphasized our unity as a congregation in the shared mission to bring the Word of God to all.

District Rector Helper Mdhluli added that as a congregation, we are all pursuing the same goal: seeking the kingdom of God. With this goal at heart, we are called to unite as a family and support one another in our service to the Lord.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Priest Reyneke for his 36 years of devoted service to the congregations. We also offer sincere gratitude to his wife, Orelia, and their children, for the many sacrifices they made over the years in support of his ministry. Priest Reyneke was not only a dedicated servant of God, but also a mentor to many, touching lives across generations.

Though stepping down from active ministry, Priest Reyneke will continue to serve the seniors in his congregation. We wish him and his family abundant blessings in this new chapter.

A Memorable Seniors Weekend Away at Zeekoe Lodge

With a venue as serene as Zeekoe Lodge near Parys, the seniors from the Sasolburg congregation could not have asked for a more peaceful and rejuvenating weekend away. The group was delighted to witness the river flowing strongly, its sounds creating a calming atmosphere that ensured restful nights for all.
The weekend was a feast for both body and soul. Friday kicked off with delicious hamburgers, followed by a generous brunch spread on Saturday morning and a mouthwatering braai later that day. The fellowship concluded on Sunday with full hearts—and fuller stomachs. Without a doubt, many of us returned home with a few extra kilograms!
Beyond rest and good food, the weekend served as a valuable opportunity for spiritual care and connection. It was a time to deepen relationships and build new friendships. Games like NAC Charades, dominoes, and rummy brought out everyone's competitive spirit and encouraged teamwork. In particular, charades brought great excitement as the ladies triumphed over the men by a single point!
There were also quieter moments of reflection—whether by the river, around a crackling bonfire, or while admiring breathtaking sunsets that reminded us of the beauty of God's creation.
A true highlight of the weekend was the combined divine service with the seniors from the Vanderbijlpark and Parys congregations. Led by District Rector Kuchenbecker, the service was inspired by Luke 24:15–16 and emphasized how faith opens our eyes to see Jesus in our midst. He reminded us that through the Word, the Holy Spirit, and Holy Communion, we are guided and strengthened. The District Rector urged us to seek time with God. Evangelist Roberts also shared insights on spiritual growth and how divine services play a key role in deepening our faith.
After the service, the Sunday School from Vanderbijlpark captivated the congregation with a powerful Passion Week play. Their heartfelt performance, enhanced by a lovely children's choir, brought more incitement and understanding with their visual displays.
As visiting congregations departed, those remaining took time to reflect on the weekend and the new bonds formed. The sense of unity and joy was tangible.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who made this weekend possible. We are especially grateful for the contributions and fundraising efforts that supported the event. Special thanks to the dedicated organizers, Priest Reyneke, Sister Orelia, and Priest Brenkman, whose months of planning and hard work brought everything together beautifully. We also extend our sincere thanks to Sister Ansie and the District Rector Kuchenbecker for their warm hospitality and support.
We look forward to another weekend of fellowship and spiritual growth in the near future!

The Preliminary examination is widely recognized as one of the most challenging assessments for students. Members of the Sasolburg congregation extended their support to matriculants by providing them with "survival boxes." These thoughtfully curated packages included various supplies such as exam pads, highlighters, sticky notes, and their favourite snacks. Additionally, personal notes, words of encouragement, and selected biblical verses were included to uplift and motivate the them. Emphasizing the significance of commencing their preparations with faith, the students were reminded of the support from their community, assuring them that they are held in prayer.

We extend our best wishes to Adri, Elanje, and Nicqui as they approach their exams, with the firm belief that they will accomplish remarkable success in pursuit of their aspirations. Furthermore, the mothers of the matriculants were also gifted kits to aid them through this demanding time. We take immense pride in the achievements of these young individuals.

The Sasolburg congregation wishes all matriculants good luck for their upcoming Preliminary examinations.
