What Will They Know?


Jenny Hillebrand comments on my post Flashback 1965 (a photo of our Junior Choir, taken 44 years ago): “It's cool that you have records and photos from so far back! Do you keep records from now on file for later?” The photo, however, was not in our records -- it was recently sent to us by the old choirmaster. Reading Jenny’s comment, I realise that, ten years from now, less than a fifth of the congregation may remember what the Church was like today. The only record would be our minutes book. OBSERVATION: The photo shows our congregation a decade ago -- markedly different to our congregation today. Incidentally, that’s a former Miss South Africa at the front, just left of centre. Jenny’s blog is Carpenter’s Shoes. Thanks to Hannes Blank of Germany for the photo.
