Hibberdene Happenings: Church to host women’s day of prayer
Jointly hosted by the NG and Methodist women, the service will be held at the Methodist Church in Hibberdene.
It was the second consecutive weekend without water, which is really a bit much. Hopefully supply will be restored as soon as possible.
A large crowd of worshippers and visiting dignitaries, some from afar afield as Pietermaritzburg attended the induction service of Reverend Anneli Mey at the Methodist Church last Sunday. Water must have been begged or borrowed from somewhere, as a scrumptious tea was served after the service – something that the Methodist women are really good at.

The day will be celebrated worldwide and the Hibberdene service, jointly hosted by the NG and Methodist women, will be held at the Methodist Church.
The following day, Saturday, March 7, will see this month’s men’s breakfast taking place at the church at 7am at a cost of R30 per person. The men fellowship together once a month over a wholesome breakfast and normally a visiting speaker is included.

Remember to carry on sorting out second-hand goods for the giant jumble/rummage sale to be held at the church on Saturday, March 28, between 8.30am and 12 noon. Books, pre-owned clothing and household goods and linen are always in demand, so please take along whatever you can.
Unfortunately Mtwalume’s flea and craft market scheduled for last weekend had to be postponed due to Friday’s inclement weather, which left the venue somewhat waterlogged. It is such a pity because seven new stallholders had booked to exhibit. It will however be held this coming Saturday (March 7) and a good attendance is expected. Andy Els will once again provide the music, which is always enjoyed by fairgoers.
Phyllis Michaelis has moved from her home in Hibberdene and is now staying with her son Norman and his wife Sarah in Boksburg, Gauteng.
She was finding it increasingly difficult to negotiate her way around the house, but it is hoped that she keeps well and returns for visits every now and again.
Her neighbour Barry Guppy also left Hibberdene during the week and will shortly be moving to the UK where his 93-year-old mom and his sister live. Both will be sorely missed and are wished well for the future.
Dalaine Goliath had another nasty fall at home injuring the same arm she broke in a previous fall a couple of weeks ago. Thoughts are with her for the surgery she is due to undergo this week.
