Maggie and I received a very warm welcome at Gracepoint Methodist church in the Glenferness district of Johannesburg this morning www.gracepoint.co.za
We were both overwhelmed with the size of the building, the main worship area had seats for about 900 and they have 3 services on a Sunday! We went to the 10am Service which was almost full, with families, young people and older folk like us. It is a thriving community of Christ Followers.
The theme of the service was ‘Selfless - Living Beyond Greed’ Luke 12 v 15 - 21. Does our accumulation of ‘stuff’ make us live ‘foolish lives’. How can we live well?
A challenging service in our consumer dominated lives.
After lunch Maggie’s friends took us to the Monte Casino Bird Gardens, where we saw some wonderful exotic birds. The flying display was quite spectacular.
