                                May, June and July, due to the

occurrences, in these Covid
times.
WEEKLY NEWS - ST COLUMBA'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - St Columba's Presbyterian Church
This was done and the latter was achieved.

We did ask staff who could not work full time to
use up some if their leave on the days they did
not work, and this was agreed to, but everyone
was paid in full for the whole period.

Our financial income held up remarkably well
and we have reinstated the Ministers’ housing
allowances recently, as we return to some
normalcy.

We thank them and their families sincerely for
their sacrifice.

To demonstrate our income holding up:

The pledge averaged just under R200,000 a
month from May 2019 to Feb 2020, and has
averaged R220,000 for the 7 months of Covid.

The plate, or offering, averaged R30,000 for the
same period and now R29,000 for the Covid
period.

Unfortunately, Weddings and funerals, Hall hire
and Children’s Church dried up completely, but
we have received R108,000 in donations this
past 7 months.

In summary, we are running a tight ship. The
Covid has not affected us dramatically, for which
many, many thanks to everyone, but we still
trade at a large deficit.
WEEKLY NEWS - ST COLUMBA'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - St Columba's Presbyterian Church
The Church
 A little more on the Churches income and costs.

 You have heard from me before that in 2018, 2019 and 2020 the
 Trust was called upon to cover the deficit the Church generated,
 and this was done, by way of grants and loans.

 Due to many circumstances we need to budget a deficit again for
 2020/21 and indeed for a few more years until our revenues
 increase once more.

 We budgeted a deficit of R1.6M this year and we are on budget,
 after 3 months.

 So, while I say the church’s income has held up very well
 through the Covid, we are not anyway near out of the woods.

The Trust
 Thanks to those who established the Trust in 1979.

 Thanks to those who have bequeathed to it over the years.

 Thanks to good Fund Managers and competent Trustees over the
 years, and thanks to a pretty rampant JSE over 25 of the past 30
 years.

 In the Trust we have curtailed some outreach donations to maintain
 its ability to assist the Church, and the work we do.

 We have also calculated, with the assistance of the Fund Managers,
 that with curtailed Outreach expenditure, and a fairly prudent JSE
 performance, the Trust still has a medium-term healthy life.

 I have also been asked to give you news on other events.

This is not my area, but I have
Christmas Luncheon                 been asked by the Ministers to
                                   update you.

                                   The     Christmas      Luncheon
                                   Committee      and    Chairman,
                                   Ettienne, have decided that it’s
                                   not practical or possible to have
                                   the Luncheon in 2020.

                                   It is probably illegal in terms of
                                   the regulations.

                                   A good number of them are
                                   working through some options
                                   and something will definitely be
                                   done to bring cheer, and food,
                                   to many.

                                   There will still be a need for a
                                   good amount of money to fund
                                   this, so please keep that in mind.

Nicarela Charity has been unable to hold the Annual Potjiekos
Competition and will not be having the famous Christmas Market.

Nicarela has also had to curtail financial support of a number of
its long-standing Outreach homes and shelters from January 2021.

A number are still being supported after that date.

We sincerely hope to hold a Potjie in June 2021 and raise funds
again.

On the Market: With the clash with Black Friday last year, and the
extreme heat on the Saturday, our attendance was not good,
although the money raised on the Sunday was tremendous.
WEEKLY NEWS - ST COLUMBA'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - St Columba's Presbyterian Church
There are also a LOT more Christmas Markets around
this town than there were in 2007, when we started.

The committee have brainstormed all of this and we will
be changing the Christmas Market to Market in the Parks
next year and will probably hold it in September.

The goal is to create something elegant and give our
guests a very enjoyable and friendly experience.

There will still be Stallholders, the Champagne and
Oyster Bar and Beer Tent and Kidzone, so have no fear.

These 2 dates fit in very well with the Centenary
Celebrations 2021, which we plan to be very much a part
of.

In Summary
Less fundraising activities this year, and, sadly, less
donations made to needy beneficiaries.

The Church remains strong, with the Trust behind it.

Income has been remarkable buoyant during the Covid
and I ask you to do whatever you can to keep it there.

Our Ministers and Staff have done a spectacular job and
will continue to do all the good works that our
wonderful Church has done for so many years.

Thank you so much for your time and attention.

If you have any questions the office has my number and
email.

Kind regards, G.

Letter from
                   Rev Dr James Elias
Dear members and friends

It was the shocking and totally
unexpected news that my wife,
Gwen, had six months to live
on account of terminal brain
cancer     that drew us to
Johannesburg overnight to live
with our daughter and family
here (the other two daughters
being well established in the
States by then).

Again , it was the shocking news of the outbreak of the Corona virus
in the retirement centre where I was resident that sent me off to two
long-standing and generous friends in the Hillcrest area of KZN where
I stayed unexpectedly for over three months.

During that time I discovered once again the special culture and life of
Natal (I won't attempt now to explain that or the attraction of the
Sharks !) as well as a reasonable and well-run retirement centre in the
Hillcrest area amidst the "rolling hills", I have made the decision to
spend these last years there.
In the meantime I have also reflected on the seven years spent here
(refer Genesis 41: 15-32 and Josephs interpretation of Pharaohs dream
- feast or famine - which is it to be ?!) and have seen one clear truth.
That somehow I had the privlege of introducing to the Call Committee
two of the very best students for the ministry that I have ever had the
privilege of mentoring in KZN - among many. I have personally been
delighted with their emerging ministries as they have received the
constant encouragement and support of so many in and around the
congregation. I also for this reason leave for the moment my
membership with this congregation, unusual as that may be.
Being also a sign of my own personal debt to so much I have enjoyed
and received through its ongoing life and ministry.

To those with whom I have enjoyed fellowship and friendship during
this time (especially those to whom at this time I have not been able to
speak to personally ) my thanks and gratitude for your presence, help
and support. I leave with many good memories of a congregation in
which I have been most comfortable (in the best sense of that word!)
and which in many ways I will sorely miss.

In the meantime I would like to leave with you an encouragement the
Apostle gave to one of the early congregations ( which I hope is also
directed to me in these coming days) : 'therefore my beloved brethren,
be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord" (I Cor.15.58).

As ever
James

and     not     knowing      what
to    do.    As I stood outside,
contemplating what to do, an
elderly lady asked me what I
was looking for.
When my son was born
  in 2010, one of the
  church elders, visited us
  with a gift from St
  Columba’s.      We    felt
  honoured and part of
  the    family    of    St
  Columba’s.

  This was the gift from St
  Columba’s in 2010.

Marumbu was baptised in his sleep by Late Rev Dr Chunky Young in 2010.
In July 2019, Rev Alistair
Anquetil                  accepted
our invitation and attended my
Inaugural    lecture     at   Wits
University. We were humbled
as a family by this gesture.

We did not manage to take a
photo     together       at the
function but found this picture
of Rev Alastair Anquetil in the
audience at the lecture.

Over the years, we have participated and enjoyed many activities
as a family at St Columba’s. These include the Christmas Market,
Carols in the Park, Potjiekos Competition, just to mention a few.
Our situation during
            lockdown
Our situation during lockdown has been a time of closeness as
a family. Apart from working and learning from home, a lot
of hidden talent surfaced during the hard lockdown.

Mapundi, spent a lot of time in his beloved rose garden and
showing his hidden culinary skills in the kitchen. We never
missed fast food.

Here are some of the roses that have sprouted in the garden
this year.

Eunice spent time knitting a Jersey which was 3
years overdue and maintaining a vegetable garden which
supply the family organic vegetables most of the year. The
kids just enjoyed baking and showing their skills in art. In
the absence of our elder daughter, we learnt the hard way of
connecting online and had to settle with attending church
services online.
Any insights during
              is period

Seeing how devastating the pandemic has been to many
families, we have learnt not to take anything for granted
and become more grateful to God for all of our smallest
blessings   and   for   giving   us   another   day   to   live.
Everything that God allows to come our way is always
with a purpose. He uses even the deepest pain to mold us
into better beings. We have learnt to trust God through it
all according to his promise in Isaiah 43:1-2.

“Seeing the End in the Beginning”              is my attempt to express
as simply as I can the basic thinking that has been the foundation on
which, with varying success and failure, I built my ministry and life.

We are involved in a number of stories. We have the story of our own
lives with all the positives and negatives and we add to that each
day. We are part of the story of the reality around us in the lives of
people with whom we are associated and especially of the good and
bad of the various authorities that impinge on our lives.

There is also a greater reality, the story of which this book tries to
tell. It is the story of the inspired writer told in Chapter 2 and the
following that we know variously as the Adam and Eve story or that of
the Garden of Eden. As far as anyone can see into the mind of God,
that inspired author believed he was telling about God’s intention for
Creation – harmony between God and people, people with one another,
people with nature, nature with God. The author knew well enough that
harmony had been broken. One of the major Bible themes is how a
patient, gracious, and loving God tries to bring humanity back into the
Garden. If we commit ourselves to that story, it constitutes how we
tell our own. Ken Trueman, to whom the book is dedicated, was the
first to read the manuscript. His comment was the story spoke to him
of love and hope.       John de Gruchy, an eminent South African
theologian, inspired me to publish the book. Having read the
manuscript, he told me every lay preacher, new minister, and interested
layperson ought to read it. No doubt there will be those who disagree
with some of its contents but the purpose is to create a lively debate
and to inspire people to work towards God’s intention through lives of
love and hope.
