Johannesburg Church of Christ is commemorating the 21st anniversary of its planting by hosting the “Johannesburg Church of Christ homecoming” celebration from 24th to 29th July. The main purpose of the celebration is to bring back the Johannesburg Church missionaries to South Africa and to honour them, to reach out to those who have wondered from the church and to encourage great fellowship between all in attendance. So we warmly invite anyone, disciple or not, to come and join in the celebrations.

The six days of celebrations will kick off on Wednesday 25th July with evening services in the various Johannesburg regions during which different visitors will share about their ministries back home. On Friday 27th July, a staff meeting will be held where good news from around the world will be shared. 

Saturday 28th July promises to be an unforgettable memory as the celebrations culminate in a Gospel Concert titled “The Life of Jesus told in a Song”.  Performed by the choirs of the Johannesburg Church of Christ regions, this is going be a powerful blend of harmonies that  will stir your spirit and move your soul.  It may be the closest you get to a experiencing a heavenly choir of angels here on earth!  The concert will be held at the Mosaiek Church in Roodepoort and tickets cost R30 each.  Although the concert commences at 5pm, the doors will open at 4pm.  As tickets are only available through Computicket and seats are pre-booked, make your booking now by going to http://www.computicket.com/redirect/gospel.html or any Checkers outlet to secure the best seats possible.

The celebrations will conclude with a churchwide service at the Standard Bank Area on Sunday 29th July, starting at 10am.  The Johannesburg Church of Christ looks forward to welcoming many guests home, not to mention seeing some old familiar faces again!  Many disciples from across the Southern African churches have already promised to come and join in the festivities.  Mozambique is hiring a bus and 86 disciples are traveling down for the weekend!  We look forward to celebrating God’s victories across Southern Africa over the past 21 years together!

ATTENTION ALL SINGLES -
Come embark on an spiritual adventure and "Experience Cape Town"

From the rolling winelands, to majestic Table Mountain, from the breath-taking views off Cape Point to the infamous Robben Island, Cape Town is known around the world for its wondrous scenic settings and rich history.  Affectionately termed the Cape of Good Hope, explorers sailing the seas in search of prosperous lands dropped anchor here in 1652.

The singles of the Cape Town Church of Christ in South Africa are inviting members of the singles ministry in the International Church of Christ, 28 years old and up, to come and share in the rich natural beauty of Cape Town and to experience not only the hope of explorers centuries old, but also the hope that we all share in Christ, who is the anchor of our souls (Hebrews 6:19). 

Running from 7th to 16th October 2007, the Cape Town singles are convinced that this 10 day adventure will refresh and encourage any a voyager who decides to embark on this spiritual sojourn. To ensure that each guest experiences the fullness of Cape Town’s rich heritage, culture and surroundings, they have planned an itinerary to match.  Some of the exciting activities lined up include a cable car ride up Table Mountain, a visit to the heart of the Cape Winelands – Stellenbosch, sundowners at Camps Bay beach, a ferry trip across Table Bay to Robben  Island and of course, lots of great fellowship!

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God." (1 Peter 1:22-23)

One of life’s greatest challenges is learning to not only "get along" with the people God puts in our life, but also to love them deeply from the heart. The Cape Town singles believe that fellowship is an essential part of our growth as human beings and also as Christians. They therefore encourage all singles, as the main aim of Experience Cape Town 2007, to come and fellowship with them - your extended family in Christ.

As this once-in-a-lifetime adventure is limited to 100 people, book now to avoid disappointment!  Prices range from R4 500 to R7 800 for the entire trip.  For more information, go to www.experiencecapetown2007.com or email gill.arnot@gmail.com
