signifying the end of the HUCF. The proceeds have been donated to Hobbiton and
Jikani. We shall have a Thanksgiving Service on Sunday 20 February 2022 at 10am
to give thanks for such a fine ending to the HUCF saga.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US">Services have returned to normal with tea afterwards where congregants
can mingle, socialize and bond. We hope that members will now flock to services
again. </span>Thank you to those in the
congregation who continue to tithe and so enabled the chapel to pay its dues
and donate to our beneficiaries during the period of Covid 19 restrictions. If
you are not tithing and would like to do so, please pay your contribution to
our chapel bank account mentioning your name and the word tithe:<b> </b>St Patrick’s Chapel Council, Standard Bank, 050319, a/c 082147493.
Thank you. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our Patronal Festival, St Patrick’s Day, is on Thursday 17 March 2022. Vestry
will be held on Sunday 20 March 2022 where annual reports will be presented and
councillors for 2022 elected. The current councillors are happy to continue but
we look forward to ‘new blood’ as well. Please support and volunteer to serve. Good
Friday is on 15 April and Easter Sunday 17 April 222.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ann and I would like to thank all
at St Patrick’s not only for the joy of worshipping in the chapel but also for
the privilege of being able to serve the chapel for 15 years. What an
incredible highlight it has been! From next year we will be based at Kennersley
Park Retirement Complex, Bonza Bay, East London, but will visit often. Although
we will still have our house here, we shall miss the magic of living in
Hogsback. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

St Patrick’s has had virtual services broadcast by Maggie Verster with the
ministry team of Dr Norma Fivaz, Ann Webster, Barry and Lyndon Wittstockand Rev Liz Thomas. The broadcast
services were professionally done and attracted a greater congregation far and
wide. Unfortunately, Liz can’t be with us for vestry, as she is on sick leave.</span></div></div></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Council</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">The last actual Vestry was held in 2019
at which the following were elected: Trevor Webster (Warden), Quinton Dick
(Alternate Warden, Treasurer and Gardens), Rev Liz Thomas (Priest), Dr Norma Fivaz
(Lay Minister and Pianist), Ann Webster (Lay Minister, Sacristan and Pianist),
Carol Nieth (Weddings), Maggie Verster (Blogpage, communication), Helen Fox and
Ansie Klaassen (pastoral care, flowers). At the virtual Vestry of 2020 Jan
Delport was elected. All The members have continued loyally, showing commitment
in spite of the services being only virtual. In any democratic organization it
is vital to have regular elections, which will happen at Vestry this year on
Sunday 14 March 2021. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I4aXIlZqSGs/YEnaLAiVUlI/AAAAAAAABdo/zDX-Rhj_vz8s8_thJxCKTWMrKTjr1m2dACLcBGAsYHQ/s1043/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="1043" height="175" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I4aXIlZqSGs/YEnaLAiVUlI/AAAAAAAABdo/zDX-Rhj_vz8s8_thJxCKTWMrKTjr1m2dACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h175/2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Worship and Services</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">We are very privileged
to have Rev Dr Liz Thomas as resident priest and two committed lay ministers:
Dr Norma van Niekerk and Ann Webster. We are a small congregation of different
denominations and we all participate in the different services. The flower
arrangements are beautifully done, organised by Ansie Klaassen. Our chapel continues
to be a much-visited gem in Hogsback. The Prayer Trail has become a major
source of comfort for those needing to pray or meditate. Many visitors regard
the chapel and Prayer Trail as a priority in their visits to Hogsback, especially
as the chapel is open throughout the day. The Monday Bible Study group is a
powerful worship group. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Community and Care</u></b>: We donate on a regular
basis to Hobbiton and Jikani. Ansie visits those in need and our lay ministers
use the discretionary fund to help those in need. The blogpage and WhatsApp
groups run by Maggie are very effective in reaching a further congregation not
living in Hogsback. Maggie has been brilliant in reaching people through
technology during lockdown. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The community identifies with the chapel by using it for memorial
services, baptisms and weddings and the Wall of Remembrance, although these
have not been active during lockdown. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Finance</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">We are fortunate in having Quinton
Dick as treasurer. We donate much of our income from tithing to worthy causes
locally, in addition to paying our Diocesan assessment. We have maintained and
improved our assets, especially our garden. Whatever has been done has been
done to the glory of God. In spite of not receiving collections because there
have not been services, we have been able to maintain our commitments. Our
financial statements are presented for comment, if necessary, and acceptance by
the congregation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Weddings</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">There have not been weddings during
lockdown.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Buildings and Gardens</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">The gardens are looking particularly beautiful
thanks to the supervision of Quinton and others. We were able to cover the
thatch with netting wire to protect it from baboon foraging. All this is appreciated
by visitors who are constant visitors. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>HUCF</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">The Hogsback United Church Fellowship property
and assets are looked after by the Council and are not owned by St Patrick’s. The
property is up for sale.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Challenges</u></b>: </p><p class="MsoNormal">Although the congregation of St
Patrick’s is a shining example of service, we realize that there are challenges.
We are grateful that we can do as much as we do as each of us has a limited time-span
in this village. We appreciate the opportunity and joy to be able to be part of
this beautiful, iconic chapel, celebrated daily by visitors from all over the
world. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4AOqHMNZB9U/YEnbFIofahI/AAAAAAAABdw/WN5xi5FmYs0y6xnYfQJMnwuY9Fc07l9vgCLcBGAsYHQ/s529/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="307" data-original-width="529" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4AOqHMNZB9U/YEnbFIofahI/AAAAAAAABdw/WN5xi5FmYs0y6xnYfQJMnwuY9Fc07l9vgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h233/3.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Thank you</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Trevor Webster<o:p></o:p></p>
