Teaching the next generation: Consider Judges 2:10 and Psalm 78:5&6. One of the tasks of the school proprietors and church session is the oversight of the Religious Education programme, and ensuring that the next generation is equipped to teach another generation which is not yet born. We can only bring it to the ear and the mind. We hope that the Holy Spirit will bless it to the heart. Many of the teachers are involved one way or another in the religious education or ethics and current issues education. These pictures show Pastor A Vergunst and Elder A Bosch also being involved.
