NEW HYMNBOOKS – As a matter of urgency, because of the current state of the hymnbooks in the Cathedral, with pages missing and the books being in a bad state of repair we will need to replace the current batch with 500 new hymnbooks, namely THE CELEBRATIONAL HYMNAL FOR EVERYONE. Since the hymnbooks are only printed in England the cost of a hymnal is about R140 each; which means we have to raise R72 500.
