floor and your winepress." Deut 16:13

Clergy and their secretaries met for lunch on Tuesday 6
September, when Bishop Bethlehem told the secretaries that the words
"You are beautiful" sum up what they are. For the ninth year Faith Geere, parish secretary at St Hugh's, arranged this time of fellowship for the diocesan clergy to show their appreciation of the work their secretaries do within the parish. This year St Hugh's was the venue, and a Chinese lunch had been arranged. Speaking on behalf of all the clergy, Pics: (Top) This is how it's done - Two of the clergy, Eric Kleb and Fumanekile Kula having fun as they master the art of eating with chopsticks.

A wendy-house has been bought to house everything that had been stored behind cutains in the 'garage', and the extra space will mean another twenty chairs can fit into the chapel. More expansions are on the cards. Music is by courtesy of CDs. Lawrie Wilmot has been given oversight of this congregation. From 1 October he joined the ranks of stipendiary clergy in the diocese, as assistant to Andrew Watt at St Nicholas. Isobel is involved in the little Sunday school which has been started. During a time of testimonies Lawrie was thanked for all his hard work and dedication in visiting the people of the area, and in providing transport for the young folk to get to youth club on Friday nights and to youth services on Sunday nights.

Bishop Bethlehem
said, "You keep us afloat with all our administration. We appreciate
your worth more than we can measure with a measuring rod. We appreciate
that you remind us to do the things when we forget, and often do things
for us when we don't remember to do them. 'You are beautiful' sums up
what you are."
