Some pictures of the worship service. The table is spread with communion for the hundreds of people in the congregation and table cloths are spread over it. Communion cups and trays do not have covers here, instead a white cloth covers the whole table.
A picture of our ladies in traditional wear as the whole congregation rises to sing and dance.
Rev. Ian Booth (South Africa) leads. Allistar Arens, to his right will become General Secretary -Elect when elections are held next week. Rev. Thulani on his left is the Synod Secretary in South Africa.
Rev. Majaha, the Director of the Leadership Academy for the UCCSA. Sorry about the really bad picture!!
Rev. Dr. Prince Dibeela, General Secretary and Rev. Basil Manning, President stand to welcome UCCSA partners. Later Basil gave his usual inspiring sermon! Always motivating the church to aspire to new levels of God's service in bringing justice!
Basil is one of my favorite people in Southern Africa- and he
Duly welcomed and formally honored and included in the UCCSA family!
The choir did an amazingly beautiful presentation of the Hallelujah Chorus. I was very interested to see the instrument in the director's hand. It is a mini-key board operated by blowing in a tube. She used it to give them four notes to start the acapella version of the Hallelujah Chorus. I had never seen anything like it- the instrument or the Hallelujah Chorus done without instrumentation with an entire 80? person choir.
What a beautiful and uplifting worship service!
