The Footprints Festival Thanksgiving Service held on Sunday (June 1, 2014) near MorganBay featuring the international concert singer, Hanli Slabbert was also unexpectedly blessed by a rendition of “Jerusalem” by the Forte Gauteng Opera Singers.
Festival Convenor, Dawn Field said: “The event is going to remain in people’s hearts for a long, long time. Hanli’s velvet voice, especially singing ‘Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart’ and her pertinent words, a wonderful address from a very wise, gentle old man; beautiful prayers, and to top it all off … the Forte opera singers… was a surprise and had everyone in tears. I know that our Father is pleased. The warmth and love was palpable.”

The service was held in a glorious garden setting with beautiful weather to give glory to God for the holding of the first Footprints Festival.
Said Field: “Although we can improve in many areas the Festival has been a big success. The craft market was rated by the crafters as one of the best in Southern Africa – a real craft market – no imported cheap items. And the entertainment in the evenings was great.”
A wide variety of events took place showcasing what MorganBay and Kei Mouth have to offer and is planned to become an annual event.
