Dutch Reformed Church Alberton South hosts harvest fest
Dutch Reformed Church Alberton South held its annual bazaar on October 31 at the church’s premises in Raceview and was aptly named the Harvest Fest.
Due to Covid-19, the very active congregation could not celebrate their annual tradition last year, so this year they decided to go all out on reconnecting with everyone in and around the church.
The day started with a fun walk where participants had been tasked with a variety of challenges on each round.
The aim of the game was not to see who is the fastest, but who could make the most connections while walking.
As is traditional at any church bazaar, there was an abundance of pannekoek, curry and rice and a host of baked produce straight from the kitchens of the devoted Caleb group.
No church gathering is complete without the men standing around the braai while preparing the boerewors rolls, and the men of Alberton South did not disappoint.
The little ones were treated to a petting zoo, water playground and ponies to ride on, while the pet lovers had a chance to show who’s got the best-looking, well-behaved dog.
Icon, the teenage group of NG Alberton South, completed the day with a Miss and Mr Spring competition that had everyone in stitches.
All in all, the Dutch Reformed Church Alberton South proved that Covid-19 might have had a devastating effect on the overall togetherness of the community, but the harsher the winter the more glorious spring will be.
