Blast from the Past: Unveiling a Glimpse into a Childhood Memory


Hello, wonderful community members!

Today's "Blast from the Past" takes a slightly different yet equally fascinating turn. We're delving into the childhood of someone from our community. It's an invitation to look back at the younger years of a person who may now be a familiar face among us. But the question is - can you guess who this person is?

The photo we have is a charming snapshot of innocence and early life experiences. Their journey from then to now is surely filled with stories, growth, and transformation.  Feel free to make up some stories.  :)

I also have a special invitation for you. Join in on this fun and nostalgic theme by sharing your own childhood photos! Let's create a tapestry of memories that show the diverse and rich backgrounds we all come from. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect, laugh, and share stories of our younger selves.

So, let's get nostalgic, have some fun, and maybe even learn something new about each other. Share your guesses, your own childhood photos, and the stories behind them in the comments below. Who knows, you might find unexpected connections and stories that bring us closer as a community.

I can't wait to see your photos and read your stories!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minsiter

Jail Ministry Gratitude

  We would like to publicly recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of Susan Bennett, Rosalie Sulgit-Shay, and Tamarya Hulme - who have tirelessly served in our community’s jail ministry.  For the past six years, these women have committed themselves to visiting incarcerated individuals every week, bringing with them compassion, hope, and spiritual guidance. Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives. Their work is a powerful reminder of the impact that loving-kindness, faith, and consistent support can have in transforming lives.  Let us all take a moment to honor and thank them for their extraordinary service and the difference they have made in our community.   Thank you.

Blast from the Past: Rediscovering Connections within Our Larger Community

Hello everyone! In today's "Blast from the Past" feature, we're exploring more than just a photo from our archives; we're diving into the heart of our larger community. This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to? As we look back, I invite you to scrutinize the photo and see if you recognize any of these faces. Each person here has played a role in shaping a particular segment of our community, contributing to its unique character and activities. The event captured in the photo also holds significance. Do you recall what this gathering was about? Were you there, and what memories do you have of it? This event and the community it represents have likely been on hiatus, especially with the challenges posed by the pandemic. However, the good news is that this is about to change, and we are gearing up to meet in person once again. For those of you who are...
