Hospice Prayer
God our Father, Your Son showed compassion and mercy to the sick and suffering. Give us the grace to show love and compassion to the terminally ill. Grant that through the power of the Holy Spirit Hospice may continue in this area for the comfort and relief of the dying and bereaved. Bless and guide those involved in the planning of Hospice. Inspire many to offer support through prayer and giving. We ask this in the name of God Almighty.

Golden Gateway Hospice Book Shop
On the 4th of October 2013 Golden Gateway Hospice opened a second shop in the form of a book shop. Karin Jordaan always had a dream of having a book shop at the Hospice. We receive many book and as the name of the book shop is "Die Weduwee se Kruik" which when tranlated comes from Kings in the Bible talking about the woman that had so much oil it just kept on flowing. Karin says this is like the books they never seem to stop coming to the Hospice ( which is a good thing). This is one of our new sustainablity projects.
