Unfortunately due to poor attendance a quorum
was not reached and the meeting was not able to

decisions that are taken are legal under the laws
and disciplines of the Methodist Church of
Southern Africa. Items on the agenda of this
meeting will be carried over to the next quarterly
leader’s meeting. Leader’s are strongly urged to
attend these meetings in the future.
Thank you to all those that did attend and we

PRAYER NEEDS
Hi Manning Roaders
I greet you in the wonderful name of Jesus.
I am really excited after the 6 weeks of Lent
Conversations. The people who participated
really enjoyed it and found the discussions
very helpful and life-giving. We took a
survey after the 6 weeks and the results will
be given to you, once we have processed
the information. Then it was Holy Week!
Thank you, to all who came. I think you will
agree with me that it was totally different
from previous years. Every evening was
different and had its own “flavour”. The
different teams worked hard and to the
Class meeting groups and small groups
who blessed us with good food afterwards...
thank you!!!
The whole Easter weekend was a blessing
from the Friday morning service at MRMC
to the Circuit Service in Lamontville ending
with late lunch at 16h00. Saturday morning
was
special
and
the
flowers
in
remembrance were beautiful. Resurrection
Sunday started with the Sunrise service on
the beach followed with fellowship at MRMC
and sharing in Hot cross buns and tea
afterwards. All I can say is “Praise to our
Redeeming King Jesus.” I am certainly
looking forward to next year and may the
witness of those who participated this year,
inspire those who have not participate.
Blessings
Willie

INTERCESSORY PRAYER
A prayer for the South African National and Provincial Elections.
Most Gracious and Loving God we honour You as our Creator - the One who
has made us in Your own image
Forgive us when we choose to go our own way rather than following the way of
Christ and help us, through your Holy Spirit, to discern what is right and
honourable.
During these forthcoming elections we, the citizens of South Africa, are
privileged to choose who should lead us – help us to vote wisely.
O God, make your face shine on us.
We pray for all electoral officials, that they will remain impartial and exercise
their responsibilities with efficiency whilst instilling a sense of peace and calm
wherever they work.
Hear our prayers for the political leaders of this land. May they have the
interests of the people at heart and may they strive to uphold the South African
Constitution at all times. We pray that integrity and morality will become values
that our leaders will strive to maintain during their terms of office.
O Christ, transform our lives.
We pray that justice and compassion be upheld by all and that new levels of
tolerance and acceptance of diversity will become evident among the people of
South Africa.
O Holy Spirit, empower us.
AMEN.
