THE Accra Presbytery Church Choirs’ Union of the Global Evangelical Church has held its Triennial Rally at the Accra Teacher Training College.
As part of the rally, the delegates made a donation of food items, beverages and detergents to the National Office of the SOS villages of Ghana for distribution to the various SOS Villages.
New Executives were also elected, with Mr Samuel Kwadzo as President; Mr Moses Ahlivia, Vice President and Madam Peace Kumako, Secretary. The Choirmasters are Messrs George Asiamah and Godsway Hanyabui.
The Presbytery Choirs Co-ordinator is Rev C. K. K. Aglago.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Synod Clerk of the Global Evangelical Church, Rev Prince Tefe, advised politicians to be concerned about the stability of the country and avoid acts and utterances that could lead to disunity and hatred among Ghanaians.
He reminded the various contestants to bear in mind that whoever won the December general elections would need the support of all citizens irrespective of their party affiliations to contribute to the national development agenda.
Preaching the sermon at a thanksgiving service to round off the programme, the pastor in charge of the Dome-Atomic branch of the Global Evangelical church, Rev Dr Seth Gbewonyo, stressed the need for churches and other religious gatherings to serve as forums where issues which united Ghanaians as one people would be highlighted.
Rev Dr Gbewonyo, who is also the Hall Master of Akuafo Hall of the University of Ghana, Legon, asked Ghanaians to be prepared to forgive one another and continue to pray for God’s guidance to elect leaders who would be accepted across the political divide.
Rev Dr Gbewonyo commended the involvement of the youth in national politics, but cautioned that they should not allow themselves to be misguided to forment trouble during this year’s electioneering or in the future.
He said: “The youth need to bear in mind that any disturbance of the national peace and stability cannot provide a congenial atmosphere for them to nurture their talent to be tapped for national progress.”
