Service for the Departed in Mabopane
On Sunday, 2 November 2008, District Apostle
Kitching, accompanied by Apostle Joubert, visited the District of Mapopane to
conduct the Service for the Departed. This was the first time that the District
Apostle conducted a Departed Service in this region. Mabopane District is
situated about 40 km north of Pretoria. After no other venue such as
a local hall could be acquired for the service, Mapopane congregation – the
“mother congregation” of the area – was chosen which could accommodate around
200 members. This is a corrugated iron structure originally built on the
property of one of our members and also by our members.
