  • COMMUNITAS-EBOOK-6x8-COENIE-EN-ANDRIESEen van die groot hartseerstories van die kerk gaan oor wat keer op keer weer met die sakramente gebeur het. Die Doop en die Nagmaal is deur die Here in sy genade aan ons gegee om ons geloof en ons eenheid te versterk – om ons nader aan Hom en nader aan mekaar te bring. Maar deur die eeue het dit dikwels weer gebeur dat stryery oor hierdie twee wonderlike gawes gelei het tot verdeeldheid en skeuring in die kerk. Die Bose het dit weer en weer in die geskiedenis van die kerk reggekry om juis die twee sakramente te gebruik om Christene te verdeel.

Ons kyk terug na ‘n suksesvolle Kinderkonferensie

Written by webmaster on . Posted in Jeug en familie, KIX-KOM

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

Winter School 2018: Reflections, Presentations and Video clips

Written by Wilma le Roux on . Posted in Ekklesia, Konferensies, VBO, Vennote

Winter School 2018

JUSTICE, RECONCILIATION AND UNITY:

REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

Dion Forster wrote on June 5 at 9:10amInstagram

“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.”
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:

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.

Craig Bailie have put some of his reflections on the Winter School in writing. He writes: “Obviously, my experience includes only the parallel sessions that I attended. I send it to you in the event that Faculty may wish to publish something…” Click here tor read his well-written reflections: Bailie WakeUpYoureSleepyChristians FOR SUFT

Verdien só VBO-punte

Written by Wilma le Roux on . Posted in VBO

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)

  • Gee ‘n bondige beskrywing van dit waarin en waardeur millennials hulle onderskei van vorige generasies (Stil-generasie; Baby-boomers en Xers)
  • Wat is die uitdaging wat hierdie generasie aan jou bediening stel en watter slaggate moet liefs vermy word?
  • Met ‘n paar ‘pen-strepe’ – hoe sou só ‘n biediening in jou gemeente lyk?
