Congregants of St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church who were wearing their colourful African traditional attire filled the main hall of the church singing songs of praise and worship and giving thanks to God for 88 years of the church’s service in the community.

According to Rector Clayton Moitsiwa of St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church, Alexandra, the church opened its doors in 1930 and it has been for the past 88 years instrumental in building the community and changing lives of many people in Alexandra.

“Since St Michael and All Angels opened its doors in 1930, we’ve seen how God has been faithful to its ministry. We’ve seen lives being changed and witnessed this parish becoming a beacon of hope and a place of solace for the community of Alexandra,” he said.

“We have also invited members of the community and community-based choirs to partake of this big celebration because this is their church too.”
