TO ALL IN THE UPCSA

It is with deep sadness to announce that the Rev Ian van der Lingen passed away. Ian was the father of the late Rev Greg van der Lingen and the father-in-law of the Rev Shona van der Lingen who is a minister at St Columba’s Presbyterian in Kokstad, within the Presbytery of East Griqualand. Ian was a retired minister, living in Stilfontein within the bounds of the Presbytery of Lekoa. May he rest in peace.

The funeral arrangements will be announced in due course. Please pray for the family.

Warmest regards,

Rev Dr Lungile Mpetsheni
