Thieves rob St Francis United Church

Crime plumbed new depths on Monday night when thieves broke into St Francis Church and made off withmade off with a large amount of equipment, including the sound system, as well as blankets, food and clothing collected for the needy. The SAPS are investigating and a certain amount of equipment has been recovered.

It really is time that our courts put these  criminals away for a long time. So often the perpetrators are apprehended by SAPS, locked up for a day or two before taken to court where they receive bail and in a day or two are back committing their foul deeds. Even once convcted they spend a few months n prison where they are abbe to hone their skill before being let free into society to rob and pillsge. It is time South African courts stat dishing out life sentences to repeat offenders. They will never be reformed so have no right to ever be part of normal society.

Anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour or find any of the goods which have been stolen is requested to contact SAPS St Francis Bay, or the church office at 042-294-1943

College Musicians Impress

by | Jun 14, 2016 | St Francis

St Francis United Church recently hosted St Francis College’s first musical event for the local community – and the kids were a hit!

Colleen Mutch invited nine music students to perform for the audience, which proved to be a valuable exercise in confidence-building ahead of their year-end international music exams.

College music teacher Natasha Brown said live performance was a key component of becoming more comfortable with one’s skills and that her pupils played very well.

After the ‘show’, the young musicians were treated to refreshments, cakes and lovely thank-you gifts.

Music teacher Natasha Brown encouraged this experience for her pupils as confidence building for the year end exams giving them the opportunity to show their talents.
