All the very best for this new year - I hope it has started well for you and yours! The church office is open again and during this next week we expect to see most of the groups that meet on our property re-emerging. Small groups are getting going again too - maybe this will be the year for to join one if you haven't already? Youth and Sunday begin again on 18 January.
Two property issues to be aware of as we start the year:
1. Security: Although we are privileged to have Zimele and Dumisani watching cars in our parking lot through the week and on Sundays, there have still been occasional attempted vehicle thefts and there is very little that our guards have been able to do to prevent this. To deter thieves we are installing manual boom gates at our entrance (with work due to start in the next week or so). We trust this will improve our security and ask for your patience as Zimele and Dumisani get used to the new system.
2. Water: Our property is busy through the week and unsurprisingly our water and lights bill is climbing! With solar in place, we are now installing a water tank to collect rain water which will then be used for flushing toilets and watering our gardens. This should be in place within the next few weeks.
Hope to see you on Sunday as we gather for worship as a community!
