• Fun and fairy tales
The hilarious concert was put on by the various ministry and cell
groups of St Hugh’s and the evening opened with some nuns
demurely singing ‘I will follow Him’ but then swung into
‘Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’. Little Red Riding Hood,
Cinderella and The Three Little Pigs were rendered as they had
‘originally’ been written ... or so the audience was
assured. The lay ministers' wooden band entertained as did a bunch of
tadpoles and a Marriage Bureau fiasco. Throughout the evening the
‘cleaning lady', Maureen Lamb, During a break in the concert fish and chips were served to the audience who had filled the hall to capacity to enjoy the evening of fun and laughter.
On Tuesday 21 September a group of nearly 60 people from the Malabar Old Age Home and the Gelvan Park Aged and Frail Home were invited to the parish. They were entertained with some sing-along oldies led by the ‘Westering Minstrels’, and afterwards were served a most nutritious meal. The generosity of the parishioners had made it possible for the Pastoral Care Group to hold the function which was considered a very successful community outreach endeavour.
During the service Nokwaka Adams, who is married and a mother of five children, gave a testimony of her positive living.
Leaders, representing a broad spectrum of churches in Port Elizabeth, met in the boardroom at the diocesan office, with Andrew Jantjies, a self-supporting priest at All Saints’ in Kabega Park, in the chair.

who was visiting from St Saviour’s, kept butting in and keeping
the audience in stitches. She even had to help the clown, Sharon Nel,
to try and fix her bucket. After Academy Awards were presented to
various people, the clergy of the parish ended the evening by
assuring, “My heart will go on” and proved it by opening
their cassocks to let the audience see their very large red hearts.
