Ministries

An adult group of 12 persons meet on Thursdays evenings at 18h30. The meeting is an enjoyable social time, sharing news and praying for one another. A period of worship and prayer is followed by lessons on topics that have varied from Biblical lessons to the Christian way of life. At present we are understanding more about the overview of the Bible as we follow a series on DVD.

We have finished the first 3 subjects in our JESUS LIFESTYLE series and they were really fantastically challenging and rewarding:

• How to live & act with integrity
• How to respond to difficult people
• How to handle conflict

On Tuesday 19^th, we tackle the 4^th subject – How to become a generous giver!

This promises to be as challenging as the previous 3 sessions and we are looking forward to these discussions…

Just a reminder that we are a group of 30 somethings to 60 somethings and we meet at 19H00 on Tuesday evenings. If you would like to join us, we have room for a few more members.

We will add more info about our fellowship group soon.

The Women’s Manyano stands for holiness of life, purity of speech, temperance and service to the glory of God and for the extension of God’s Kingdom

The aims of Manyano are:

• To guide the life of the home in accordance with Christian principles and example, with special reference to training children for the service of God in purity of thought, word and deed, and in respect of elders
• To seek the conversation of our people to believe in God and seek to be used by God for the building up of the Church of Christ
• To encourage a missionary spirit among our people and to raise funds for Mission Work and for other authorised local Circuit, District and Connexional MCSA and Community needs

What we do

We fellowship every Saturday afternoon at 15h00, at Welties Methodist church, where we delve in and share the Word, testimonies and pray for one another, Families, Community and our Nation.

Over and above this we are involved in various outreach activities within the Church structures and in the Communities around us.

In line with our purpose and aims, we constantly pray for and are on the lookout for areas/organisations/individuals who may be in need, and by the Grace of God we respond accordingly.

Africa Food for Thought is a non-profit organization, run by volunteers, which is essentially focused on equipping and supplying school feeding programmes. We are also involved in a number of community projects, self-help/empowerment projects and shelters and half-way houses. Our aim is to help those who need it the most: the vulnerable and marginalized.  Our vision is “to feed people in the name of Christ, in order to bring hope to the hopeless”.

Soup Kitchen is an outreach which is run from the church on Mondays and Fridays from 7.30 – 9.00am

The congregation donate ready-made soup and /or ingredients for making soup. The donations are brought to church in two litre ice cream containers and put in freezers in the blue hall. We serve between 40 -60 gentlemen at a time and they each get a cup of soup, a peanut butter sandwich and a recycled cool drink bottle filled with water.

The church gives us money to buy 40 loaves of bread for each session as well as to buy peanut butter and marge. We mix the peanut butter and marge before the time as it’s easier to spread and saves time on the day.

During the year the gentlemen get blankets and any clothes that are donations and at Christmas time they get a Christmas bucket!.

One would need to attend a Saturday morning seminar before having your child baptised. Charmaine (Church secretary) can be contacted or the church notice informs when the next Baptism seminar is.

Baptisms usually take place every month, the 2nd last Sunday in the month. 38 families are at present on my list of children already baptised. They stay on the list for about 3 years.

We give a certificate and a candle/candle holder on the Sunday that they are baptised. I send a birthday card on the baptised child’s birthday and reminders about the date of the child’s baptism to re-light their candle and remember.

I send emails and sms’s for prayers, support and encouragement of parents and children and to keep in contact with them.

I try to have an annual party for the parents and children, at the church towards the end of the year, so they can get to know each other.
