Sunday the 17th- Rondebosch Church and Table Mountain


                                                                                                                                                                  Cape Town from Table Mountain

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
We  headed for worship at Rondebosch Church on Sunday morning.   The GPS system in one of our vans was having difficulties, but we made it none-the-less with a few minutes to spare.  We were warmly greeted and introduced during the service.  Pat was interviewed during the children’s  sermon, with questions from the children as well as Robert Steiner, the pastor of the Rondebosch church.  Pat preached about our visit to South Africa and our desire to learn, open our hearts and break down barriers.  We heard fabulous music by the church’s marimba band.  We presented the wonderful banner that Phil had made to the congregation which said “Our Peace we Bring You.”  We were treated to a delicious luncheon which we shared with members of the congregation.
The weather Sunday afternoon was beautiful and clear, so we headed to Table Mountain.  Table Mountain, visible from all of Cape Town, is reached by Aerial Cableway. (My family will be proud that I survived the trip despite my fear of heights!)  The mountain sits 3,500 feet above Cape Town and the 360 degree views are magnificent.  We truly had the perfect day for viewing.
