Story: Henrietta Brocke

THE Greater Accra Regional Co-ordinating Council has pledged to secure lands of the Christian Methodist School at Adabraka which has been encroached upon by squatters.
Squatters have constructed illegal structures on the school land, threatening any future expansion of the facilites of the school.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Amarh Ashitey gave the assurance at a thanks-giving service as part of activities marking the 90th celebration of the Ernest Bruce Memorial Methodist Church at Adabraka in Accra.
Nii Ashitey said some Christians in the society were losing focus on their spiritual needs and replacing them with the desire of the flesh and material gains.
He advised the members and leadership of the church to intensify their efforts to reach out to the youth who were vulnerable to social vices.
He advised ministers of the Gospel to use Sunday schools and the pulpit to mould the character of people to save humanity from waywadness.
Nii Ashitey commended the leadership of the Methodist Church Ghana for promoting peace and asked them to continue to work for peace, not only in their churches but throughout the country and the world at large.
The minister said the vision of the church to partner the government to promote the development of the educational sector to teach future leaders to be ambitious and to aspire for excellence was highly commendable and worthy of emulation.
He donated GH¢1,000 in support of the celebration.
Preaching on the theme: “Thy will be done,” the Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante of the Ernest Bruce Memorial Methodist Church said, for the will of God to be done, the self must be sacrificed to the Lord.
He said the prayer ‘thy will be done’ was a prayer for the realisation of God’s perfect purpose for one’s life.
Deserving members were honoured for their contributions to the growth and development of the Ernest Bruce Memorial Methodist Church. A cake was cut to grace the 90th anniversary celebration.
