Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - Confirmation – St Andrew’s Steenberg
6 December 2009
Second Sunday in Advent
Mal 3:1-4
Phil 1:3-11
Lk 3:1-6
May I speak in the name of God, who promises to bring to completion the good work he has begun in each of us.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, dear People of God of St Andrew’s Steenberg, dear confirmation candidates, may I say again what a joy it is to be with you today.
Thank you, Fr Gradwell and wardens, for the invitation. As Bishop of Grahamstown, I used to see Gradwell as a student on a regular basis: I cycled to work while he drove to College in his blue Tazz! It is good to be here in his parish.
