Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - St Cyprian’s Retreat, Centenary
13 September 2009
Isaiah 43:1-13
Ps 121
Rev 7:13-17
Luke 12:4-12
May I speak in the name of God, who numbers the very hairs on our heads.
Dear People of God of St Cyprian’s, Retreat, may I say again what a joy it is to be with you this morning, and to share in your centenary celebrations.
Once again may I say ‘Congratulations’ to you all, as we join in thanking God for his faithfulness to you, and all those generations before you, who have made this a place of prayer and worship – a house of God, from
which his people have gone out in faithful service to the community around.
Those who founded St Cyprian’s, one hundred years ago, could hardly have imagined the turbulence of the times that followed.
