President Leavitt and I went to Lydenburg over a month ago and helped find and rent and small meeting space in the Cash Builders shopping center in a great location for the Lydenburg Group to meet. This space will do for a year or so until a perfect spot can be located to put modulars on as a church building.
This week, President Leavitt received notification of approval to form a Lydenburg Branch from the Lydenburg group within the Nelspruit Branch. He was able to extend callings and organize the meeting for today.
At 9 am today, the Lydenburg Branch was formed during sacrament meeting in the Nelspruit Branch meeting house. It was a joyous occasion for all!
President Leavitt and I joined the sacrament meeting by Zoom and were able to deliver our thanks and departing testimonies after the Lydenburg Branch presidency was announced and sustained and church business was taken care of and the sacrament finished. We would have loved to join in person but it is illegal for those over age 60 to be in church meetings. We enjoyed the other testimonies expressed during their fast and testimony meeting.
Lydenburg Branch presidency:
President Alfred M. Sibanyoni
1st Counselor Rudolph Roeloffze
2nd Counselor, Christopher Smith
Nelspruit Branch President Theo Mabusela will reorganize his branch presidency next Sunday.
