Day 2: 40th Anniversary Celebration!

The 40th year celebration for the Anglican Diocese of Botswana was fantastic! The festivities began at 8am with morning worship and concluded with reception for host families at 7pm. Sunday was a special time to look back at the Diocese's history as well as to look forward an highlight the growth and development of specific ministries.

Current ministries include: Mother's Union, The Guilds, Anglican Men's Fellowship, Anglican Women's Fellowship, Anglican Youth Group, Sunday School, St. Peter's Day Center, Hospice of the Holy Cross and Hospice Nursery, Holy Cross Cathedral Healing Group, St. Augustine Theological School and ministries supported by three Companion Links.

The pictures that follow are not the best. My iPhone doesn't take the best pictures. (Please don't share this with i-phone executives!) Pic-1: 40th Anniversary bulletin and Hymnal leaflet, Pic-2: Three Archbishops and a host of Provincial Bishops and Companion Link Bishops and Affiliates, Pic-3: His High Excellency-President of Botswana, Pic-4-5:Dedicated stain glass windows with Diocesan shields/crest of the three companion link. I also have several video clips of the two fabulous Youth Choirs that provided the music for this event, but I'll have to share those when I return.

Peace,
