THE Likpe Bala branch of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church has launched the 100 years celebration of the establishment of the church in the town.
The centenary, launched at the EP Church in Hohoe, attracted people from all walks of life during which an appeal for fund yielded GH¢1,630.
Preaching the sermon, the Parish Priest of Hohoe, Reverend W.R. Sakoe, urged the congregation to support the state and the church in all efforts meant to improve the living standards of the people by paying taxes or levies imposed for those purposes.
He noted with concern the evasion of taxes by some citizens and businessmen, adding that the negative attitude retarded the development of the nation.
Rev Sakoe likened taxation to the Blibical story in which Jesus Christ told the Pharisees and Herodians that they should “pay the emperor what belongs to the emperor and pay God what is due to God”.
The Presbyter of the church, Mr W.Y. Bonsi, appealed to the congregation for financial support to enable the church to complete the new centenary chapel project before the celebration of the centenary, scheduled for December 28, this year.
