Thank you all for attending in numbers the

Good Friday service. A big thank you also

to our Liturgy Team that led and delivered

the service so well and our appreciation for

the homilies that were preached.

Following Protocol at all times

The Anglican Church of Southern Africa

and the entire Anglican Communion is the

Church of Order. As such we as members

ought to follow due procedures at all times.

We have put on the Notice Board the pro-

cedure to be followed in a case a parishion-

er has got a grievance. Kindly familiarise

yourself with it and adhere to it should you

need your grievance to be attended to.

The meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ's victory over death. His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him. The meaning of Easter also symbolizes the complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught during His three-year ministry. If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected, He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi. However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He was really the Son of God and that He had conquered death once and for all.

Phomolong/Phefeni Zone Meeting
