Andacht
Du bereitest vor mir einen Tisch.
2
Psalm 23,5
Da ist Jahrmarkt! Die Händler haben ihre Tische aufgebaut
und ihre Waren ausgebreitet: “So, ihr Leute, nun kommt und
glaubt, dass all die ausgebreiteten Waren auserlesene
Herrlichkeiten sind!”
Machen wir es nicht auch so? Wir bauen gleichsam einen
Tisch auf und breiten darauf aus alle unsere Vorzüge und guten Werke: “Ich
glaube an Gott” und “Ich tue recht und scheue niemand”. Wir breiten aus unsere Mildtätigkeit und alles das, was wir für andere getan haben. Es ist eine
ganze Menge, was wir so auszubreiten wissen.
Wir Menschen haben untereinander einen stillen Vertrag geschlossen, dass wir
uns gegenseitig unsere Auslagen anerkennen wollen. So meinen wir
schliesslich, Gott müsse unseren “Tisch” auch anerkennen.
Aber – das ist das Furchtbare – er denkt nicht daran. “Ihr Tisch werde vor ihnen zum Strick” (Psalm 69,23), sagt sein Wort so ernst. Er stösst uns unseren
Tisch um und zieht ans Licht, was wir hinter dem Tisch verborgen haben: all
unsere Sünde und Schuld und Flucht vor Gott.
Wäre es nicht viel besser, wir würden auf dieses ganze Spiel mit unserem Tisch
verzichten? Wir können Gott ja doch nicht damit betrügen.
Wer es aufgibt, seinen Tisch aufzustellen, der erlebt: “Du bereitest vor mir
einen Tisch.” Da liegen nicht mehr unsere Vorzüge und unsere Verdienste. Da
ist es etwas Besseres: Da sind die guten Werke und Verdienste unseres Herrn
und Heilandes. Und dieser “Tisch”, den Gott selbst bereitet hat, der hat ewige
Geltung.
Auf dich setz ich mein Vertrauen,
Du bist meine Zuversicht;
Dein Tod hat den Tod zerhauen,
Dass er mich kann töten nicht.
Dass an dir ich habe teil,
Bringet mir Trost, Schutz und Heil;
Deine Gnade wird mir geben
Auferstehung, Licht und Leben.
Aus "Der Herr ist mein Licht und mein Heil" von Wilhelm
Busch
Devotion

You prepare a table before me in the presence of
my enemies. Psalm 23, 5
An annual fair is taking place in town. The vendors have
set up their tables and spread out their wares. “Step up,
folks, trust us, all the displayed goods are of the choicest
quality!”
Do we not do that too? We too, erect tables to display all our merits and good
deeds, like, “I believe in God” and “I am trustworthy and fear no-one”. We
present our beneficence and everything that we have done for others. We know
how to advertise all our impressive qualities!
We humans have come to a tacit understanding amongst ourselves, to showcase
our mutual “commodities”. Therefore we feel that God too, should approve and
sanction our “tables”.
But, and this is the frightening concept, He doesn’t even consider them! “Let
the bountiful table set before them become a snare and their prosperity become
a trap” (Psalm 69, 22) reads His Word solemnly. He overturns our tables and
bringing to light and making known what we hid behind them: all our sins and
guilt, and our flight from Him.
Would it not be better to cease this game with our tables? We cannot deceive
God with them in any case.
When we stop setting up our tables, we will experience that “You prepare a table before me” (Psalm 23, 5). Not our merits and achievements are displayed.
There is something much better exhibited there, the priceless deeds and merits
of our Lord and Saviour. This “table”, which God Himself has prepared, has
eternal value.
However great our sin has been,
God’s grace has sought and found us;
His grace is greater than our sin,
His helping love is boundless.
He’s our good Shepherd, He alone,
And He will lead His people on,
Set free from sin and sorrow.
Martin Luther, Tr. Composite Rev David Schubert, mod. GT, LH 310

Rudi and Cindy Kassier
Rudi Kassier and Cindy, nee Beard, met in 1989 while studying in Pretoria.
They were attending the Justice College, which was a college arranged by the
Department of Justice, in which students worked in the magistrate courts for
six months of the year and then studied for six months of the year. This is how
students from all over the country got to meet each other. They say that the
path of true love never runs smoothly and there were many twists and turns until Rudi and Cindy finally landed up in Natal in 1995. Fortunately it all worked
out in the end.
Rudi is the youngest son of Rolf and Trudi Kassier, and he grew up in Wartburg. He went to school there and was baptised and confirmed in Wartburg by
Pastor Weissbach. Rudi’s sister, Heidi Eggers, also still lives near Wartburg.
Cindy grew up in Pretoria, where she attended Pretoria High School for Girls.
She was confirmed in the Methodist church.
Rudi’s parents are still living in Wartburg and sadly, recently lost their grandson, Gerhard, and their eldest son, Dieter. This was a very sorrowful and testing time for the family.
Cindy’s parents, Nelson and Grethe Beard, live in a cottage next door to them
on their farm. Their love affair has taken them across the country to the Midlands, where they bought Highgate Farm in 1996. Originally a vegetable farm,
specialising in hydroponics, it turned out to be quite different to what they had
imagined. There was a devastating hail storm on the day they took transfer of
the farm and all their crops were destroyed. As people often, say, farming
vegetables is not for the faint hearted and Rudi and Cindy quickly realised that
they would have to diversify to provide for their three children.

On 21 August 2000, Rudi decided that it was time for a new challenge and
started selling fruit and vegetables from a small stall on the side of the road on
their farm. From the first days trade was wonderful and a coffee shop and
many little shops have blossomed there since then. Pretoria is where the Piggly
Wiggly story really started. Cindy’s brother, Layton, loved hamburgers and
there was a local bakery near where they lived, called Piggly Wiggly. It was
spelt differently and when Rudi wondered about what to call their little Farm
stall ten years ago, the name Piggly Wiggly came up.
Rudi has also established a vineyard and has successfully produced the first
certified KZN Chardonnay. This was a joint venture between Rudi and his
aunt, Wal Bornheimer.
Matthew, Nicholas and Cathryn were privileged to grow up on the farm and the
family are very grateful to the Lord for allowing them the privilege of still living and working there. Matthew is in his final year medicine at Stellenbosch
University and hopes to be placed at King Edward Hospital to do his Internship
and Nicholas will complete his LLb next year. He is still patiently waiting for a
definite answer as to where he will do his candidate attorney training. So any
help in this regard would be greatly appreciated! Cathryn, the youngest, is in
her first year at Stellenbosch University and particularly enjoys her studies in
Environmental Science.
Rudi and Cindy are glad to be members of the Pietermaritzburg congregation
and especially enjoy the Christmas celebrations. Cindy is one of the many
Sunday school teachers and finds great pleasure in teaching the older children.
We are glad that you are members of our congregation and enjoy being here.
Your enthusiastic contributions towards the success of our congregation are
greatly appreciated. Ed.
Profil des Monats
Rudi und Cindy Kassier
Rudi und Cindy geb. Beard lernten sich 1989 kennen als sie beide Studenten
am Justice College waren. Im Department of Justice, arbeiteten die Studenten
6 Monate lang in der Magistratur und studierten dann vollzeitig in den anderen
6 Monaten. Auf diese Weise lernten sich Studenten aus dem ganzen Land kennen. Nach vielem hin und her beiderseits, landeten beide endlich 1995 in Natal. Ende gut, alles gut.
Rudi wuchs auf in Natal als jüngster Sohn von Rolf Kassier und Trudi geb.
Bornheimer. Er besuchte die Schule in Wartburg und wurde auch in Wartburg
von Pastor Weissbach getauft und konfirmiert. Rudi’s Schwester, Heidi Eggers
wohnt noch in der Wartburger Gegend. Auch seine Eltern wohnen in Wartburg.
Profil des Monats
6
Im vergangenem Jahr traf sie ein schwerer Schlag. Ihr Enkelsohn Gerhard
Kassier verunglückte tödlich und einige Monate später starb auch ihr Sohn,
Dieter. Das war sehr schwer für die ganze Familie.
Cindy verbrachte ihre Kindheit in Pretoria. Sie besuchte die Pretoria Girls
High School und wurde in der Methodisten Kirche konfirmiert. Ihre Eltern
sind Nelson und Grethe Beard und sie wohnen neben ihnen auf der Farm im
eigenem Häuschen.
Ihr gemeinsames Leben brachte sie endlich in die “Midlands” wo sie 1996 die
Highgate Farm kauften. Ursprünglich war das eine hydroponik Gemüsefarm.
Es kam aber alles anders als sie es sich vorgestellt hatten. Ein schweres Hagelwetter vernichtete die totale Ernte am Tag an dem sie die Farm übernahmen.
Gemüsebau ist bekanntlich nicht einfach und wenn sie als Familie mit drei Kindern ein Leben machen wollten, mussten sie umdenken und sich etwas
zusätzliches einfallen lassen.
Wir kennen alle “Piggly Wiggly”. Cindy erzählt, dass ihr Bruder Layton, als
sie noch in Pretoria wohnten, sich gerne Hamburgers bei der “Piggly Wiggly”
Bäckerei in der Nähe, kaufte. Als Rudi vor zehn Jahren seinen “Farm Stall”
kaufte und der einen Namen brauchte, mussten sie sofort an Piggly Wiggly
denken.
Am 21.August 2000 entstand dieser “Piggly Wiggly” Farm Stall bei Howick
und sie verkauften dort Obst und Gemüse. Schon am ersten Tag merkten sie,
dass das richtig für sie war und bald entstand dann auch ein “Coffee Shop” und
mehrere kleine Buden mit ihren Waren auf dem Gelände. Rudi pflanzte auch
Weintrauben an und ist der erste registrierte KZN Chardonnay Weinproduzent.
Dieses betreibt er gemeinsam mit seiner Tante, Wal Bornheimer.
Cindy und Rudi sind Gott dankbar, dass sie mit ihren Kindern, Matthew,
Nicholas und Cathryn auf der Farm ein Leben machen dürfen auch besonders,
dass die Kinder dort aufwachsen konnten. Matthew studiert Medizin in Stellenbosch an der Universität und hofft, dass er nächstes Jahr im King Edward
Hospital sein Internship wird machen können. Nicholas wird im kommenden
Jahr sein LLb Studium beenden. Noch wartet er geduldig auf Nachricht wo er
sein “candidate attorney training” wird machen können. Weiss jemand von
einer Stelle/Öffnung? Cathryn ist im ersten Jahr bei der Stellenbosch Universität und geniesst besonders das “environmental science”.
Cindy ist eine der Kindergottesdiensthelferinnen und unterrichtet besonders
gerne die älteren Kinder. Beide sind sie sehr glücklich hier in Pietermaritzburg
und schätzen besonders wie hier Weihnachten gefeiert wird.
Auch wir schätzen es, dass ihr zur Gemeinde gehört und danken euch für
euren freiwilligen Einsatz und freuen uns, dass ihr gerne hier seid. Red.

Comment on Article in last issue of Impulse: Wave Power
We cannot help but admire the sterling work carried out by the
Boakes Family. Their son, Colin is promoting Wave Power across
the globe, “Many countries now use this alternate source of energy,
but South Africa, unfortunately does not”.
Allow me to comment on ‘Why not’. Some 15 years ago I registered
a patent with a brilliant South African student in my Energy Institute
in Cape Town. We worked on Tidal Wave power. The reasoning being that one would then be able to capture a double-action generation.
Wave-power and its off-shoot designs are very expensive and we
were told that the roaring oceans around the Cape are still respected
by mariners and researchers playing with the powers of nature.
South Africa’s biggest ‘problem’ is that it is abundantly blessed with
all natural sources of energy, except for oil gas only occurring in minor quantities, as far as is known. We therefore have a palate of
choices and the authorities have very cleverly promulgated its unique
‘Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Program’ (REIPPP). It lists coal, nuclear, hydro, biomass, solar and
wind. Wave power, still researched by the University of Stellenbosch, may be listed once it becomes affordable and competitive in
the South African context.

The ‘food’ supplied to feed our pigs is greatly appreciated! Thank
you! I am sure the Mettwurst and other meat products will be delicious!
We hope to see you all at our Spring Fest on Saturday, 30th August,

We appeal to you all for donations of nonperishable groceries which we distribute
to needy people. Our cupboard is empty!
Donations may be left at the office.
Wishing you all a wonderful spring!
Sibusiso Luthuli writes:
Faith is believing without seeing, without faith it is
impossible to please God, because you can’t see
him, but you have to have faith to believe he’s
alive. It is only during trials and tribulations where
you build your faith. So whenever you experience
something just remember that God’s testing and
building faith!
Contemporary Music Festival

Make a Melody to the Lord with your Heart
‘Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to
the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.’ (Ephesians 5 : 18-20)
The inaugural Contemporary Music Festival was held in New
Hannover over the weekend of 16 and 17 August 2014. On
Saturday, 16 August 2014, during the course of the afternoon,
the musicians and singers from the various worship teams arrived to find a big white tent pitched between the church and
church hall. This was where the service was to be held. We
had received copies of the songs and music at the Contemporary Music Workshop that was held in Hayfields on 24 May
2014 and later by email. The afternoon began with everyone
finding their seats, setting up music stands, and tuning instruments (and voices). The practice session went well. Everyone
enjoyed themselves, there was much teasing and laughter
amongst group members and there was a lot of excitement in
anticipation for the next day.
12
Contemporary Music Festival continued
After the practice session the NH Congregation invited the
worship teams to a bring and braai – where we did NOT have
to bring ANYTHING – all was provided for and it was delicious! It was a wonderful evening of fellowship amongst the
musicians and singers.
On Sunday morning the festival began with great excitement
and a quick prayer session in the church. There was a preprogramme with some of the congregant members joining in,
with specific songs to set the mood and others from the main
programme or service receiving their last ‘spit and polish’.
All the instruments (and voices) were tuned into pitch. The
festival service was joyous going under the theme ‘Make a
Melody to the Lord with you Heart’. The congregation enjoyed the singing and the music and short sermon, given by
NH Pastor Dieter Klee. There were amazing flute and recorder harmonies played. The guitars played beautifully. We
also had the addition of a trumpet and a drummer for the day,
both adding a special touch to the various songs played.
There were a few ‘goose bump performances’! Our very own
Martha Weich led the song ‘Jubilate’ on piano. After the service, lunch was provided with the NH congregation providing
the delicious treats. We can only thank the NH Congregation
for opening its doors so heartily for this first festival and for
their amazing and generous hospitality. We hope to be able to
participate in the festival again soon!

Women’s Circuit Conference, Wartburg
14
The annual Southern Circuit Women’s Conference took place in
Wartburg on Saturday, 2 August 2014. Several ladies from our congregation made their way to Wartburg for a wonderful morning of fun
and fellowship, with old and new friends. Our own Pastor Petra
Röhrs, who had just returned from her studies in Germany, held an
inspirational opening devotion, focussing on the meaning of mission.
Her clever practical demonstration involved sharing glitter from hand
to hand, passing on the sparkle until we were all glistening divas. We
don’t expect the men to understand.
Wartburg’s intrepid Jill Meyer entertained us with an exciting team
quiz, testing our knowledge in many fields. The lucky – and very
clever - winners got chocolate, the perfect prize! Jill’s daughter-inlaw, Sandy Meyer, an occupational therapist and mom of two, was
our key note speaker and shared with us many poignant moments in
her interactions with people. Her warmth and bubbly personality, and
her passion for our Lord, made for a touching and inspirational presentation. Sandy spoke about how we see things: sometimes we are
short-sighted and don’t see things further away, sometimes we only
focus on what is in the distance and overlook what is right in front of
us, sometimes we’re so caught up looking in the rear-view mirror that
we miss the wonderful view ahead of us. God provides us with special filters to improve our sight through His Spirit, through His Word
and through His Love for us. We also reflected on how we see ourselves: as women we are inclined to be so critical of ourselves that
we cause an imbalance in our lives. But if we focus on God and put
our spiritual needs first and allow our emotional and physical needs
to follow in synch, then we can move forward with far more peace
and harmony. Thank you Sandy for sharing your story with so much
love!
As always, the Wartburg ladies pulled out all the stops with their
sumptuous catering. For any woman it is always a special treat to eat
something that somebody else has cooked, even if it is a plain meal,
but there was nothing plain to be had, we were treated like queens
and left on our homeward journeys feeling well-nourished in spirit,
mind and body. Thank you Wartburg!
Next year’s conference is set to take place in Hermannsburg and we
look forward to it!

More people are reconsidering their options when using
household cleaners. Apart from wanting to save money
in tough economic times, concern for the environment
also plays a part. Here are a few cleaning products that
can be made right in your own kitchen.
All-purpose cleaner:
Mix ½cup vinegar and ¼cup baking soda into 2 litres water. Store
and keep. Use for removal of water deposit stains on shower stall
panels, bathroom chrome fixtures, windows and bathroom mirrors.
Bathroom mould:
Mould in tile grout is a common problem and can be a health concern. Mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide (3%) with 2 parts water in a
spray bottle and spray on areas with mould. Wait at least 1 hour before rinsing or using shower.
Carpet Stains:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray directly onto the stain, let sit for several minutes, and clean with a
brush or sponge using warm soapy water.
For fresh grease spots, sprinkle corn starch onto spot and wait 15-30
minutes before vacuuming. For a heavy duty carpet cleaner, mix
¼cup each of salt, borax and vinegar. Rub paste into carpet and leave
for a few hours before vacuuming.
Coffee and tea stains:
Stains in cups can be removed by applying vinegar to a sponge and
wiping. To clean a kettle or coffee maker, add 2 cups water and quarter cup vinegar, bring to a boil. Let cool, wipe with a clean cloth and
rinse thoroughly with water.
