Februarie 2019 riglyne
vir huiskerke en selgroepe met die Leesrooster sleuteltekste as basis.
Kix 2019 vir Communitas website
‘n Splinternuwe jaar, 2019, lê voor met splinternuwe Kix-ontmoetings.
Ons hooftema is “Op pad met Jesus” en ons kwartaaltemas Is:
- Kwartaal 1: Dapper Dissipels
- Kwartaal 2: Padlangs met Petrus
- Kwartaal 3: Geheime van die Koninkryk
- Kwartaal 4: Wonderlike Wonderwerke
Ons sien baie daarna uit om hierdie kwartaal nader kennis te maak met die dissipels van Jesus.
Ons wil ook graag hierdie jaar hoor waar en hoe Kix-ontmoetings oral gebruik word. Ons weet van Kix-groepe wat saam met sopkombuise gebeur. Ons hoor van Kix-groepe wat in kerksale plaasvind waar ‘n hele gemeenskap se kinders welkom is. Soms word Kix-materiaal gebruik in kategese of selfs deur predikante in die eredienste. Laat weet ons asseblief waar jy die materiaal gebruik om kinders aan Jesus en die Bybel voor te stel. Stuur sommer ‘n foto of ‘n video met ‘n kort getuienis na die Jeugkantoor wat ons kan deel.
‘n Belangrike deel van Kix is om kinders aan die groter wêreld bloot te stel. Hierdie jaar se sendingprojek fokus op die werk wat deur die kerk in Kenia gedoen word. Met ons projek “Kix na Kenia” gaan ons op safari! Gebruik die projekles, kaart en skuifstukkies wat julle kan aflaai op hierdie webtuiste om die kinders meer te leer en te motiveer oor die projek. Dankie vir almal wat gereeld aan die projek deelneem; dit sorg altyd vir groot opwinding onder die kinders!
My gebed vir jou is dat jy ook hierdie jaar sal groei as ‘n dissipel van Jesus!
Vriendelike groete,
Anriëtte de Ridder

Nuwe baadjie vir VBO Programboekie!
VBO Program2019 |
 |
Dit is nou net meer as tien jaar dat die A-Z beleid vir predikante goedgekeur is, en daar was doemprofete wat gesê het dat dit nie gaan werk nie.
As ons egter nou na statistieke kyk (Sien die diagram in die voorwoord op p6!) kan ons sien daar is ʼn sterk VBO kultuur onder ons gevestig.
Hierdie jaar het ons probeer om ʼn kursusprogram saam te stel wat die uitdagings van ons tyd aanspreek, en wat predikante en gemeenteleiers bemagtig in hulle leierskap in ons gemeentes.
Ons het 4 kategorieë geskep om makliker keuses te kan maak waarvoor om in te skryf. Ons beveel aan dat deelnemers probeer om een kursus uit elk van die afdelings te kies.
Dit is duidelik dat ons al hoe meer hou by ons ooreenkoms dat ons leerbare predikante sal wees wat voortdurend leer wat die uitdagings van ons tyd is. Wat geloofsonderskeidend na die uitdagings kan kyk, besluite kan neem wat belyn is met God se sending in die wêreld, en in staat is om gemeentes te begelei om die nuwe verbintenisse te beliggaam. Dit is vir VBO ʼn voorreg om te help om aan hierdie verbintenisse uitdrukking te gee.
Ons wil ook ons lidmate al hoe meer toerus en bemagtig, en daarom is lidmate welkom om in te skryf vir die grootste meerderheid van die kursusse.

Winter School 2018: Reflections, Presentations and Video clips
Winter School 2018JUSTICE, RECONCILIATION AND UNITY:REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL |
 |
Dion Forster wrote on Instagram
“The @stellenboschuni #WinterSchool in the Faculty of Theology has kicked off this morning with attendants from a wide variety of Churches, Faith Based Organizations, and Academic Institutions. We are focusing on ‘Justice, Reconciliation and Unity: Rediscovering the Power of the Gospel’. This is always a highlight on the Faculty Calendar!”
More than 200 delegates attended the event this year.
The theme was explained in the Program:
“The focus of the winter school will be on rediscovering the power of the gospel concerning justice, reconciliation and unity with specific reference to the South African context. Especially the three keynote addresses will underscore the inter relatedness of these themes as well as the sacrifices and radical action needed from societal structures, institutions and individuals to create a society that embody these ideals.
The three focal areas of reconciliation, justice and unity are not only key values of the gospel but also vital issues in our South African society. A renewed and deepened process of reconciliation is the only remedy for the still rampant racism we experience; a deeper understanding of justice will help us to tackle the issues of inequality and poverty.”

A renewed and deepened process of reconciliation is the only remedy for the still rampant racism we experience; a deeper understanding of justice will help us to tackle the issues of inequality and poverty.”
Every morning started with a devotion session led by ministers from different faith communities:
Day 1 (5 June) Stephen Pedro, Minister in Synodical Service for Witness, from the Uniting Reformed Church in South Africa (URCSA), led the devotion session by building it around a song “Christ be Our Light”. He said that the theme of this winter school was deliberate: Justice, reconciliation and unity “… because there cannot be true peace if justice is absent.” His scripture reading was from Ephesians 4:1-4.
On 6 June Anriëtte de Ridder, Minister in Synodical Service for Youth and Family Ministry, from the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) talked about Stories of Togetherness, using smells triggering things one remember, and sharing it. She used the story in Luke 5 about Jesus eating with Levi. She concluded: “….it is in the making of the fire, together; the cooking of the food, together; the eating of the meal, together; the laughing together; the differing in opinion, together; the sharing of experiences, that unity is born, relationships are restored, and justice is re-imagined. It is then that unity, justice and reconciliation happens in the heart, rather than in the mind.”
On 7 June Stephen Snyman, pastor in the Calvyn Protestant Church, led the delegates in praise and worship with his guitar and singing, and then talked about Zacchaeus in the tree. He concluded: “South Africans stands to lose such a lot. But we are also on the brink of gaining such a lot. May God help us to revive the spirit of Ububtu that has been captured, because reconciliation wants us to be real… reconciliation must be re-covered … re-embraced, so that we can live fully in South Africa – for God’s glory.”

Every day a plenary session with a keynote speaker on the main theme of the Winter School took place:
5 June: On Justice: Eleanor du Plooy, Institute for Justice and Reconciliation
6 June: On Reconciliation: Wilhelm Verwoerd, Beyers Naudé Centre for Public Theology
7 June: On Unity: Reggie Nel, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University
After the keynote session, the programme broke into the morning parallel sessions with the following broad themes (delegates could choose one theme presented over 3 days):
P1: Biblical perspectives on Justice, Reconciliation and Unity
P2: Restitution, Reconciliation and Unity
P3: Justice and Decolonisation
P4: A generation seeking Justice
After lunch, the programme again broke into afternoon parallel sessions – delegates could choose one session on Tuesday and one session on Wednesday.
Here you can read the presentations we received so far:
A Generation Seeking Justice_Eleanor du Plooy
South Africa – At an ethical and moral crossroads – Ben Theron
Part 1-How to life a significant life – Journey with leaders _T OKennedy
Part 2-How to life a significant life – Journey with leaders _T OKennedy
Jan van Zyl, minister DRC Moedergemeente Stellenbosch wrote beforehand about the RECONCILIATION LUNCH in the programme:
The Reconciliation Lunch has been held in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch for the past five years. Currently it is held at the Legacy Centre in Kayamandi every second Wednesday. From thirty to fifty people gather around the table at these lunches, and every person is served bread, a warm meal, salads, fruit and cold drinks. It is a table that brings people together from all different walks of life to share hearts, to learn and to grow together.
The Reconciliation Lunch creates a space where hearts connect and strangers become family.
While we eat, we share stories from our own lives about a particular topic, chosen by the facilitator who mediates the conversation for that day.This year 20 participants of the Winter School had the opportunity to join the Reconciliation Lunch on Wednesday 6 June.

Verdien só VBO-punte
Nuwe lys vir verdien van VBO-krediete |
 |
- Woon jy ver van Stellenbosch?
- Is jy alleen in ‘n gemeente?
- Is jy sommer moedeloos en kwaad oor jy moet VBO-punte verdien en daar is nie tyd om so lank weg te wees nie?
In die afgelope paar maande het die VBO-kantoor koppe bymekaargesit om nuut te dink oor maniere om VBO-punte te verdien. Die uiteinde was die lys wat hier onder beskikbaar is, en wat in Maart deur die VBO-Forum goedgekeur is.
- Ons het die lys uitgebrei sodat daar verskeie kursusse en metodieke is waarop jy aan jou voortgesette leer kan werk;
- ons het gediversifiseer om ruimte te skep dat jy nie net op akademiese vlak nie, maar ook wat betref nuwe ‘skills’-aanleer en inbou in jou liggaamlike gesondheid krediete kan verdien – ‘n werklike liggaam-, siel- en gees opbouproses.
- Neem in ag dat dit net vereis dat jy ten minste een ‘akademiese’ kursus ook moet bywoon om jou jaarlikse vereiste punte mee op te bou.
(LW die kursus(se) kan in jou eie of ‘n nabygeleë ring ook wees – onthou ons probeer al hoe meer kursusse na ringe neem op die ring se aanvraag)

Teologie en Menswaardigheid
‘n Werkstuk nav Prof Dirkie Smit se YouTube lesings oor Teologie en Menswaardigheid,
hierdie jaar Kursus op Aanvraag 12 in die VBO-boekie
– deur Ds Stephan Lubbe
Miskien sou ek dit wat volg as ’n preek (soos die opdrag dit aandui) kon aanbied, maar ek noem dit graag liewer…
’n Poging om nadenkend te reageer op VBO Kursus op Aanvraag 12, 2018 (óf dit na te praat waar dit my pas), soos aangebied deur Prof Dirkie Smit (YouTube-weergawe)
My eie gewaarwording rakende die saak van Menswaardigheid het oor die afgelope aantal jare, tot my eie verligting, gegroei – vanaf die jaar van die Algemeen-Sinodale besluit op die “Seisoen van Menswaardigheid” toe my reaksie was: “Wat is hierdie nuwigheid waarmee die NG Kerk nou weer besig is?” (min of meer dieselfde reaksie by ’n ouderling wat Prof Smit in die eerste lesing noem ivm US Teologie se keuse om Menswaardigheid as tema vir hul bydrae tot die “Hoop Projek” te neem: “Wat het teologie met menswaardigheid te doen?”), tot vandag dat ek byna die saak nie kan los-dink van enige kontak met en ervaring van mense in watter omstandighede ookal nie; en netso min kan ek die verband daarvan miskyk met die boodskap van die Evangelie van Jesus Christus.
Die hart van menswees het daarmee te doen. En dit raak elke terrein waarop menslike bewussyn, lewe en aktiwiteit plaasvind: Selfbeeld, Selfaanvaarding, Selfhandhawing, Psigiese en geestelike volwassenheid, Kinder- en Adolessente ontwikkeling, Seksualiteit en “Gender”, “Peer Group”-verhoudings, Huweliksverhoudings, Gesinsverhoudings, Inter-generasionele verhoudings, Groepsdinamika, Konflikhantering, Werksverhoudings en –omstandighede, Rasse- en Volke-verhoudings, Persoonlike en Groeps-identiteit, Lone en salarisse, Ekonomie en Industrie, Behuising, Besit/Eiendom, Nasionale en Internasionale Reg, Opvoeding en Opleiding, Geneeskunde, Politiek, Sport, ja, en ook Godsdiens en Teologie. Oral waar mense beweeg en met mekaar te doen het, word mense se waarde “geweeg”, in eie oë of in die oë van “ander”. En daar word opgetree teenoor self en ander in die lig van hierdie “waarde-gewig” van elke mens of mense-groep.
’n Belangrike vraag is, waarop hierdie “waarde-gewig” van mense gebaseer word? Wat is die standaard, die maatstaf, waarvolgens mens(e) se menswaardigheid gemeet word? Of is dit maar ’n kwessie van die menslike omgewing waarin hierdie waardebepaling plaasvind: Op die sportveld het die goeie atleet menswaardigheid; in die besigheidswêreld is die suksesvolle winsmaker die een wat menswaardig is; op die slagveld is die goeie generaal en die dapper soldaat die mense met menswaardigheid; mense van ’n “meer ontwikkelde” kultuur/tegnologie het menswaardigheid; ens.? En die keersy daarvan: Is daar dan mense wat nie menswaardigheid het nie, mense wat eenvoudig nie aan die norm voldoen nie; of ten minste as minder menswaardigheid bejeën kan word en “tevrede” moet wees daarmee?

Vir huiskerke en selgroepe met die Leesrooster tekste as basis
Ons kyk terug na ‘n suksesvolle Kinderkonferensie
Ons loop nog op die wolke na Kix se opwindende Kinderkonferensie op 11 en 12 September 2018. Baie Kix-leiers en ander kinderbediening-leiers uit alle denominasies is “Toegerus vir die Toekoms”. Ons is die Here baie dankbaar vir al die Kix-leiers wat getroue kinders van Jesus is en beter toegerus is vir hul bediening.
Videogrepe van die hoofsprekers se aanbiedings asook van ‘n paar werkswinkels wat aangebied is, sal binnekort op hierdie webtuiste beskikbaar wees.
Ons het ‘n baie bedrywige en geseënde jaar by Kix agter die rug! Vanjaar het die eerste Engelse vertalings van die Kix-ontmoetings die lig gesien. (Dit is op hierdie webtuiste beskikbaar.) Die “Jesus vir Japan”-projek het gesorg vir wonderlike kreatiewe ontmoetings en fondsinsamelings asook verdiepte verhoudings met ons vennote by Missie Japan.
Mag jy die laaste kwartaal van 2018 ook soos Paulus in 1 Timoteus 1:12 getuig: “Teenoor Christus Jesus ons Here is ek dankbaar: Hy het my krag gegee en my betroubaar geag om my in sy diens te stel.”
Ons verwelkom Maryke Fourie in die Jeugkantoor. As ‘n jong oud-onderwyseres en langafstandatleet is ons seker sy het oorgenoeg kreatiwiteit, ervaring en energie vir die Jeugkantoor. Maryke, ons bid vir jou ‘n geseënde tyd toe in jou nuwe werksomgewing.
Waarna sien ons uit in 2019? ‘n Splinternuwe projek word aangepak, naamlik Kix na Kenia. Ontmoetings in Afrikaans en Engels word op die oomblik geskryf oor die dissipels, oor Petrus se lewe en oor Jesus se gelykenisse en wonderwerke. Ons visie is dat al hoe meer gemeentes en individue Kix.Kom sal gebruik om kinders in kerke, skole, nasorgsentrums en gemeenskapsale te bereik vir Jesus!
Vriendelike groete, Anriëtte de Ridder
