The community of Holy Emmanuel Church, Balangoda celebrated their 126th Anniversary on 23rd June, 2022 with a service of Holy Confirmation presided by the Rt. Revd Dushantha Rodrigo. This was also Bishop Dushantha's first pastoral visit to the church and the area following his Episcopal Ordination. 17 persons were confirmed at this service.
Following a felicitation ceremony, fellowship lunch and a meeting with the Lay Officers of the church, the bishop made a quick visit to some of the homes nearby, which was greatly appreciated by the people.
The community was grateful to have celebrated their 126th Anniversary as they could not celebrate the 125th Anniversary last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the intermittent lockdowns. This steadily growing community was grateful to the bishop having made the journey by bus to be present with this community.
