On Wednesday 2 December 2009 District Apostle Noel Barnes visited the congregation of Cleary Park, which forms part of Arcadia District in Port Elizabeth.

This was after last having been there seven years ago. The congregation, which is situated on a hill, overlooks one of several saltpans in the area. The District Apostle was welcomed by seven young children playing the recorder before the commencement of the divine service.

700 members and guests filled the church hall for this divine service which was based on verse seven and the preceding verse out of the 62nd chapter of Isaiah. During the divine service seven brothers were added to the ministerial compliment of the district.

After the conclusion of the divine service the district apostle spent time in fellowship with the members and captured some photographic memories to remember the day by.
