Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, people of God in the Diocese of Eswatini, it is an honour and a privilege to have been asked to share with you the Word of God here at today's service. Thank you to you, Bishop Dalcy, to your leadership team and the whole community for inviting me to join your Family Weekend—it's been a joyous and inspiring time for me following a busy schedule in the Eastern Cape, to come and visit you here. Thank you too to those who have worked hard to prepare for the weekend. A special welcome to our distinguished guests, fellow clergy, and to all of you, the whole wonderful diocesan family.
