LETTER FROM

REV. ALISTAIR ANQUETIL

Dear Friends and Members of St Columba’s,

The following was posted a few weeks back on Facebook

by Mrs Ann Klemptner, a longstanding member and elder

of our congregation, and is being shared with her

permission:

I've just started a new job as Administrator at our

church. Quite something to start a new career at the

age of almost 64! But I'm loving it as I'm working

with and for the nicest people you could ever wish to

meet. As I arrive in the morning I am greeted by a

beautiful garden, and then as I leave, it's so lovely

watching the young families playing in our very well

-utilised park across the road from the church.

Ann is proving to be ideally suited (with no great surprise)

to the role that she has assumed and has been particularly

well received by fellow members of staff and of the

congregation. It has been said before, that the environment

in the church office is one of warmth, care and helpfulness;

this is perhaps even more so the case with her appointment.

It is particularly special that our office staff are all members

of St Columba’s. With this in mind and recognising how

important Sundays are to all of us, I appeal to everybody to

also allow them the joy and peace of worship and

community on a Sunday, without reference to office-related

matters that should please be raised only during the normal

weekly office hours.

Some of you may be aware that Margie Maker had a

medical procedure this week to replace a battery relating to

an earlier operation. This was a great success and Margie

is doing well.

Affectionately yours

Alistair

Candis Angelene has had many live performances as a solo artist for corporate events and

functions. She gained a wealth of experience on stage working mainly as an understudy for

musical theatre productions. Her television experience was brief but exciting and she has

worked on Isidingo and Egoli as an actress, and appeared as a performing artist for musical

variety shows. Her most memorable experience was representing South Africa at The Inter-

national Folk Song Festival in Nanning, China.

In 2009, Candis Angelene launched her debut album Ancient Light. The album received rave reviews

The April 2010 of the South African Oprah Magazine said "With its calm and soothing spirit, this album will be welcome respite after a long day"

NOT TO BE MISSED!
