Summer 2009

Highlights of the Habesha Congregation

We were very much encouraged by participating, for the first time in the history of the Diocese of Egypt, in the Diocesan Synod meeting held from 15-19 June 2009.  This brought a special understanding of belongedness to the Habesha Congregation.

We were very much encouraged by Bishop Mouneer Anis' visit on 28th August 2009, with a timely message and break of bread together; fellowship followed.  Some who attended for the first time came to appreciate the Anglican way of worshiping God, each in our own languages.

We said "Goodbye" to a few members who left Egypt, and we said "Goodbye" to one member who passed away on 31 August 2009.  The Habesha Congregation was deeply saddened by the loss.
