The new Edenpark Church

District Apostle Kitching, Apostle Dimba and Bishop Hector with the fundraising team of the South Rand District

During 2004 the congregation of Edenpark together with the support of the entire South Rand District, embarked upon a self help project to build their own church. Building work commenced in earnest during April 2005 and under the guidance of the District Elder Farrell a fund raising project was initiated in support of the building operations. Members together with their families, friends and business acquaintances generously supported the project by pledging donations of various kinds. Neighbours readily helped with the supply of water. Our sisters were always ready to provide food and refreshments for the workers. The Old Mutual Assurance Company also provided a number of apprentices together with their supervisor from their 17 Shaft Training project to help with initial building work. The church administration supplied the altar, carpets, benches and furniture. The hard work of many saw that the building was completed in approximately 18 months. District Apostle Kitching inaugurated the new church on Thanksgiving Day, 1 October 2006.
