It's been a busy few weeks!

It's been a busy few weeks! 

As the Hands at Work family we journey together through Holy Week. It's an opportunity to reflect individually and together on Christ's death and resurrection. It's a tradition at Hands that we have come to cherish. This year we read through a book called The Week That Changed the Word- the Easter Story by Timothy Roth. It's a collection of scripture and ancient wisdom taking you through the week leading up to Easter. The finished the week gathered together to watch the sunrise on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately it was very cloudy and we didn't see the sun but we enjoyed a great breakfast and celebration that morning. 

Lately it seems like the only opportunity we get to go out to the community is for community prayer. A few weeks back we all ventured out 2.5hrs to a community called Welverdeind. It was a special community prayer, typically we only get time with the Care Workers. However, this time It was school holidays so we had Care Workers, gogo's, aunties, church elders and lots of children. We sang and danced in the African sun under a giant tree at the care point. We each had a chance to sit with a small group from the community and encourage and pray for them. It was a beautiful day! Many of you know we moved house not that long ago. 

Last week we moved again! Another couple had asked to move to the Hub and so Hands leadership offered us a bigger home that was available on the property. We are getting settled in, it feels a bit big for us now, but I'm sure we will get used to it! 

You may have seen on social media that Hands at Work has a new website! Morgan and her team have been hard at work for months to make this happen. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out at www.handsatwork.org 

We are writing this blog on the way home from a little weekend getaway in Salt Rock, a small town north of Durban on the Dolphin coast of the Indian Ocean. 




South Africa is a beautiful country, we don't have much time to explore it so we like to take the opportunity when we can. We spent the weekend hanging out on the beach, eating delicious food, visiting Ushaka aquarium and water park and taking a little drive to the largest mall in the southern hemisphere. It was a relaxing weekend after a very busy few weeks, just what we needed!
