Blast from the Past: Revisiting a Memorable 2007 Event

 

Hello, cherished community members!

In today’s installment of our "Blast from the Past" series, we're throwing it back to a memorable event from 2007. The details might be a bit hazy, but with a little collective memory, we can bring this picture back to life.

The central clue to unlocking this memory is the presence of lilies on the stage. These beautiful flowers set the scene for what must have been a special occasion. But what exactly was this event celebrating or marking? Was it a seasonal festival, a commemorative gathering, or perhaps a milestone for our community?

Now, let's turn our attention to the people in the photo. They were undoubtedly key players in this event. Do you recognize any of these faces? They could be long-standing members, volunteers, or even special guests with a significant role in the occasion.

And for those who have been part of our community since 2007 or earlier, I have a question: were you there at this event? If so, what memories or feelings does this photo evoke for you? Your personal experiences and recollections are invaluable in piecing together the story of this day.

This blast from the past is more than just a trip down memory lane. It's an opportunity to reconnect with our history, celebrate our journey, and acknowledge the contributions of those who have helped shape our community.

I invite you to share your insights, guesses, and memories in the comments below. Let’s piece together the story of this 2007 event and honor the moments that have brought us together as a community.

Looking forward to your stories and memories!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister
