Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho
THE Ho-Kpodzi branch of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church has launched its 150th anniversary of the establishment of the church in Ho.
The celebration is slated for November 27, next year, on the theme: “Sow in tears, reap with joy.”
Activities lined up for the occasion include renovation of all monuments of the church, which incidentally are located at the headquarters.
AN elder of the church, Mr Edward Glalah, made this known when he led a delegation of the church to inform the Agbogbomefia, Togbe Afede XIV and his elders of the anniversary at his palace at Ho last Sunday.
Giving a brief history of the church, a committee member, Reverend S.K. Mensah, recounted how the German missionaries arrived in Ho after sojourning in Peki, Adaklu and Anyako.
He said the missionaries were most impressed with the warm reception accorded them and decided to establish the headquarters in Ho.
Mr Glalah said the celebration was for all the people of Ho and not the church alone.
He, therefore, appealed to all citizens to participate in the activities.
Togbe Afede thanked the church for its role in the development of the area in the past years, especially in the field of education.
He, therefore, donated GH¢1,000 towards the anniversary.
The Agbogbomefia also announced his intention to celebrate the fifth anniversary celebration of his ascendancy to the stool.
He called on all churches in the town to devote their time to a thanksgiving service, in connection with the occasion, as well as the forthcoming Yam festival to be celebrated by him and his people.
