Patrons of this year’s Women In Worship would have a nostalgic moment, as veterans in the Ghanaian gospel music take turns to prove their worth of experience over the decades.
The event is slated for the University of Professional Studies, Accra, (UPSA) auditorium at 4pm on Sunday.
Unlike every other year, this edition will parade gospel musicians who left indelible marks in the hearts of music lovers with their life changing lyrical compositions and evergreen songs.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Genet Services, Mrs Georgina Nettey, the powerhouse behind the event, told The Spectator that preparations went on well as planned for a greater event.
She added that “morale is high, spirit-filled and we are poised for the Holy Ghost revival”.
According to her, this year’s event was very special, an edition to celebrate and honour our legends, women filled with God’s anointing and who have served in gospel music ministry for decades.
“I will ask each and everyone to come with an expectant heart, for the night of worship would give birth to financial breakthroughs, healings, God’s blessings, grace and favour and patrons should look out for lots of excitement in the house of our good Lord,” Mrs Nettey said.
She entreated every individual to be a partaker of this year’s Women In Worship for an unforgettable experience.
With “Alpha and Omega” as the theme, patrons would have an undiluted time of worship and praise with the evergreen, Bernice Offei, Mary Ghansah, Stela Aba Seal and Abaawa Connie.
Dynamic Tiwa of Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo fame, Esther Nyamekye and Hannah Marfo would be in their elements uplifting the patron throne of God.
With an unrelenting celebration of the goodness of God, Diana Hopeson, Amy Newman, Helena Rhabbles flanked by the indefatigable Tagoe Sisters would ensure that “the anointing flows unabated”.

Ghana’s comedy industry would take centre stage today, when the sixth edition of the Ghana Comedy Awards is held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ridge, Accra.

This year’s ceremony would begin with a red-carpet session at 7:00 p.m., followed by the main awards event at 8:30 p.m.
Organisers have promised an evening of entertainment featuring some of Ghana’s foremost comedy talents, including Lekzy, Jeneral Ntatia, Kojo PJay, Oh Joo, Alo Wess, Ranzy Ray and Jerry Ashinyo.
Musical performances are also expected to complement the comedy acts.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
