TURFLOOP LUTHERAN YOUTH LEAGUE

25th Anniversary Message from Moss

Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Christ. In celebrating the First 10-year anniversary for Turfloop Lutheran Youth League we have to sit back and think back to the years when there were only 9 members to the stage where you are today. In retrospect, so many lives have been changed, so many dreams realised, so many souls won to Christ, so many disagreements, frustrations, victories, life-changing projects, prayers to the elderly church members, prayers to Hospitalised patients, strong relations with others youths from local churches, strong impact and relations with other youths in Turfloop Parish, impact at Circuit, dicoese, ELCSA and international, leaders who were groomed, choristers who were trained, families that have been strengthened, and many more that continue to be done. It is always a great joy to me to talk about you and the work that we do. I was in Texas a few months ago and when I was asked to prepare a report on life-changing moments I chose to talk about some of the project that we do at church with the youth league...you are always close to my heart reagrdless of where I am and I can only come back stronger and better. Congratulations to the new members for making it through to this league, I know you will come out of here much different and stronger. As for all the fellow alumni, we can only share the stories of the moments we used to share and be greatful that Mrs C. T. Mahapa, The Late SP Manaka, Rev. Mogashoa were always there to guide us and also embrace Rev. Masislela's presence.

I know you are preparing to go to Cape Town, I have listened to all the choirs singing and you sound great, and I am confident that you will enjoy the music in Cape Town. I wish I was there but will always make sure that I am there in more ways than one. I hope you enjoy this anniversary as a sign of many more works to be done and victories to be won. We jsut had a huge Concert here and the choir of 120 voices just sang my favourite song "Linkulu Themba Lami" and it was wonderful mainly because it reminded me of Turfloop Lutheran Youth League.
Happy Anniversary
Moss
