Dear People of St Pauls
Sunday in Black (29th) at 7.30 & 9.15
Those attending services on Sunday are encouraged to dress in black as we highlight the scourge of Gender Based Violence and recommit ourselves to work towards a world without rape and violence.
For those who arrive at services after we have reached the 50 persons limit will be offered a seat outside the door. Communion will be brought to you by one of the clergy.
We have an ongoing Gender Group in the parish. If you would like to be part of this ongoing ministry speak to one of the following: Mrs Sonto Buthelezi, Dr Claudine Hingston, Ms Mandisa Gumada or one of the clergy.
COVID ALERT: We must not let our guard down. The virus continues to spread at an alarming rate, especially in KZN. We are all at risk. Be very careful. Get the vaccine. Check the KZN Department of Health website for Vaccination sites.
