"Onto us achild is Born"

We have to applogize for inability to post our last report ,this is due to the internet falure in our area. Last week was a glorious Sunday for the Church for unto the church a child is born by Brother Ebenezer Asate and the wife, therefore we have to name the child and also bless the child.

Brother Otoo preach on the topic "The important of naming a child" Lawrence Lamptey Blessed and name the child. In the Ghanaian custom there is a special way by which a child is named and we will like to share with anybody who want to how. Just send us a mail asking how it is done.

Well, Sunday 16th December attendance was encouraging but the greater number came from the children. SEE BELOW

Today,23rd December 2007 , was also a memorable day. one of the sisters - sister Abla also gave birth to a new baby boy last two weeks saturday 8th December and her baby also needs to be named and blessed. Therefore, this has to be done today. Lawrence did the naming and the blessing while brother Otoo preached.
The Lord's supper was led by Brother Otoo assisted by Bismark Okyere and Daniel Adjie
The first prayer was given by Ebenezer Asante, Inter sectional prayer was given by Abraham Quao and the Closing Prayer was led by Brother Emmanuel Mableh.

The attendance to day was quite good but with the children taken the lead, one thing about Ghanaians is when is geting to this time of the season many are those who want to travel to their hometown, visit friends, join family members to celebrate, and this always give a different picture to attendance of the church through out Ghana.

Next week sunday is going to be a cheeful day and meery making for we are going to have our coming meal fellowship and Preacher appreciation day brethren are asked to cook from their homes and bring it to the church to joing together and share. Aslo each member is to bring a gift to the Preacher and his family.

True Worship


"True and undefiled religion acceptable unto God and the Father is this; to visit the orphans and the Widows in their truoble, and to keep oneself unspotted of this world" James 1:27

This is a heart touching message presented to the Church By God through Brother Lawrence Lamptey. Since many of us never knew that meeting the needs of the Poor is part of the true worship. In the message God that came today through Brother Lawrence we were made aware that Helping the poor and the widows are vital part in Christianity. Frother the Book of Deutronomy 15:7-11 teaches us that we should continue to open our hand so wide to the poor that are in our Land. Church today was so nice and beautiful for brethren were well touched by the message that came today.

Brother Leonard Lamptey led the congregation in songs, the scripture was read by brother Ebenezer Asante. Brother Peter Obeng gave us the Opening Prayer, the inter sectional Prayer was given by Brother Fred Sekye Armah and the Closing prayer was given by Brother Paul Amisah. The words of exaltation was given by our evengelist Lawrence Lamptey.
