DEDICATION OF SANCTUARIES
On Sunday 16th June 2024, there will be three churches that will be dedicated. New worship sanctuaries in the Presbyterian Church are usually dedicated as a way of setting them apart from all ordinary use and setting them apart for the purpose of worship and ministry.
Two churches, PCEA Kamahiga and PCEA Miiri, will be dedicated in Kahungu Outreach of Gatundu Presbytery. The outreach was curved out from Ndarugu Parish on 23rd may 1993. The outreach has 10 retired Elders and 10 active Elders. It has six congregations but only one is dedicated. Dedication of these two churches will bring to three the number of dedicated churches.
