Commenting on the gathering, Pastor Wrench said: “We are here to serve the elderly with lunch and to give them hampers. This work could not have been possible without the support of donors and supporters – the Lord will bless them for the good gesture, for their ploughing back into the community,, and for serving the senior citizens of their town.”
The event was preceded by song and prayer. Sister Mackay Koopman and Pastor Wrench gave speeches.
