A spirit of unity, forgiveness and renewed fellowship has been upheld at PCEA Nyaragumu Church,Kiambu county following a reconciliation meeting convened by the Parish Minister Rev. Moses Mwaura Ndegwa.
The meeting which was called on Sunday was aimed at addressing issues that had threatened to divide the congregation.
It was held at the Church’s Main Sanctuary after the Sunday service and brought together hundreds of faithful, church elders and parish leaders in a significant step towards restoring harmony within the congregation.
Rev. Ndegwa personally presided over the gathering, accompanied by Parish Secretary Elder Kariuki Muriu, Parish Treasurer Elder Thuo and other senior church officials.
Also in attendance were church elders including Elder Charles Riie, Church Chairman Elder Peter Mburu Kahura, Elder Mary Wangui, Elder Elizabeth Njoroge and Elder Tony Gathu.
Members of the congregation expressed profound gratitude to Rev. Ndegwa for initiating and guiding the reconciliation process, describing the meeting as a turning point in strengthening unity within the church and the wider Christian community.
Special recognition was also accorded to Church Development Chairman Eddy Kimemia for his contribution in fostering dialogue and promoting lasting peace among the faithful.
Participants said they experienced God’s presence in a special way as they gathered in a spirit of amnesty, forgiveness and reconciliation.
The congregation chose to forgive one another, leave past disagreements behind and embrace a renewed commitment to serving God together.
Speaking during the meeting, Rev. Ndegwa emphasized the importance of forgiveness as a cornerstone of Christian faith.
He reminded worshippers that God’s forgiveness is motivated by grace rather than human merit and encouraged members to extend the same grace to one another.
Drawing from the teachings of Jesus Christ, he cited Matthew 6:14-15, which teaches that receiving God’s forgiveness is closely linked to one’s willingness to forgive others.
He also referenced Matthew 18:21-22, where Jesus taught that forgiveness should be limitless, symbolized by the instruction to forgive “seventy-seven times.”
The congregation reaffirmed its commitment to unity, noting that unity remains a source of strength in overcoming challenges and advancing the church’s mission. Members prayed for God’s continued guidance and protection, expressing confidence that, through faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit, the church would remain steadfast and united.
In a further demonstration of renewed solidarity, the meeting resolved that all faithful members would attend the retirement ceremony of Elder Mary Wangui scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2026.
Elder Wangui will retire after ten years of dedicated service to PCEA Nyaragumu Church.
Congregants praised her spiritual leadership,
unwavering commitment and significant contributions to the growth of the church over the past decade.
The faithful resolved to accord her a befitting and honourable retirement in recognition of her steadfast devotion and service to the congregation.
As the church looks ahead, members also prayed for God’s blessings as they prepare to celebrate the church’s 10th Anniversary later this year.
They expressed optimism that the milestone celebration would mark another significant chapter in the church’s journey and achievements.
