Donations are being requested by the Weirdale Congregation of the Uniting Presbyterian Church in South Africa, which is located at Maponya Station in Lephepane, in order to rebuild their church.
In December 2023, powerful winds tore off the roof of the congregation’s house of worship, causing significant damage and leaving the church without a suitable sanctuary.
The church is requesting help from other churches and the larger community to finish the reconstruction project in response to this regrettable occurrence.
