28 Junie 2018 – Nommer 4 Daaglikse nuusblad vir die 2018 VGK Kaapland Sinodesitting
Inspiring speech by the Moderator
The new Moderator, Dr MacMaster inspired the meeting yesterday: "How do we make sense of where we are? My favourite verses are from Isaiah 43:18 ‘Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19) See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland’.
"We limit God, we look through the eyes of the world. Where you are is the place where God placed you. THIS is the moment. I asked God: ‘What is your will for me?’ It’s right where I am. We are supposed to be dynamic Christians! God has given me a chance to serve this church that I love so much!”
Mini Synods
Yesterday the following six Mini Synods had planning sessions: Service and Witness, Congregational
Ministry, Proclamation and Worship, Publication, Judicial Matters and Finance. May these
discussions be of great help to determine our Synod’s vision and mission for the future.
