The Mothers’ Union of the Anglican Church of Ghana has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting the underprivileged, with their annual donation and visit to the Street Academy in Accra.

The Union, led by its President, Mother Wilhelmina Graven, presented a variety of food items and other essentials to the school in a bid to ease the burden on the children and their caretakers as the academic year begins.

Among the supplies donated were a bag of rice, a bag of beans, cartons of tomato paste, assorted drinks, biscuits, sugar, drugs, Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), and other provisions meant to support the welfare of the children.

The visit was marked not only by the act of giving but also by an interactive session with the children.

Mother Graven expressed her delight at the warm welcome she received, noting that many of the pupils fondly remembered her from previous visits. She encouraged the children to hold on to the lessons they had been taught over the years and to remain disciplined in their studies and daily lives.

As part of the day’s activities, members of the Union delivered talks aimed at nurturing the holistic development of the children.

Mother Lauren Watson-Quartey addressed the pupils on the sensitive subject of sexual education, urging them to abstain and make responsible choices for their future.

Mother Hilda Commey also engaged the children on matters of health and hygiene, stressing the importance of personal cleanliness in preventing disease.

The event further featured a short but impactful sermon by Rev. Father K. B. Asante, who reminded the children of the value of obedience both at school and at home. He emphasised that obedience was the foundation of discipline and success, urging the children to listen to their teachers and parents as a way of preparing themselves for a brighter future.

The Mothers’ Union reaffirmed their commitment to continuing this annual tradition of service, pledging to remain a source of encouragement and support to the children of the Street Academy.

On behalf of the Street Academy, Mrs Irene Attoh, the Assistant Director, received the items and expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Mothers’ Union. She commended their consistency and kindness, noting that their annual donations go a long way in sustaining the children’s education and well-being.

“We at the Street Academy strongly believe in the act of giving, and we are deeply grateful to the Mothers’ Union for making this tradition part of their mission. Their generosity not only supports our children materially but also inspires them to live with hope and purpose,” Mrs Attoh remarked.

Let your faith in Christ reflect in daily lives …Christians told

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.

According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.

He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.

Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.

He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.

“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.

Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.

He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.

He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
