It was during a divine service conducted by Apostle C Van Der Merwe that the members of the congregation of Saxonsea bid a fond farewell to a much loved minister. On Sunday 27 June 2010 the Apostle thanked Priest C Dirks on behalf of the many members whom he reached out to and for the many years of sacrifices he made during his period of activity as a minister, and wished him well during his time of rest.
