The Fritz Ramseyer Memorial Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Bubuashie in Accra came alive last weekend with the church’s traditional day celebration.
It saw members of the congregation adorned in colourful traditional attires and spiced with beautiful locally made jewelries while they sang joyful melodies to the glory of God.
The rhythmic sway of the Kente cloth, the graceful elegance of kaba with slit, and the dignified presence of fugu garments and other variety of attires painted a picture of rich heritage and unity among the congregation.
The children were not left out of the celebration. With their infectious energy and smiles, they embraced the occasion wholeheartedly and appeared resplendently draped in attires depicting their culture and roots.
From the youngest to the oldest, each member radiated pride in their roots, embracing the opportunity to showcase their traditions.
Throughout the day, the church was filled with the sounds of drumming and singing, as hymns intertwined with traditional melodies, creating a symphony of celebration.
As the service drew to a close, there was a palpable sense of fulfillment and community spirit lingering in the air.

The Paramount Chief of Bamvum, Abdulai Ziblim, has donated a one-acre plot of land at Jongshegu, a suburb of Tamale, to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for the construction of a new fire station.
The Northern Regional Commander of the GNFS, ACFO I Joseph Koranteng, led a delegation to formally accept the land and expressed appreciation to the Chief for his commitment to public safety.
The proposed fire station is expected to improve emergency response times and strengthen fire safety coverage as Jongshegu and surrounding communities continue to expand rapidly.
The Chief called on stakeholders to support the swift development of the facility, while ACFO I Koranteng described the donation as a strong example of collaboration between traditional authorities and state institutions to protect lives and property.

A 24-year-old tricycle (Pragyia) rider, has been jailed three months by the Nkawie Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region for biting a Community Police Assistant (CPA) at Nkawie.
Abdul Aziz pleaded guilty to the charge of negligently causing harm and was convicted on his own plea.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting told the court presided by Mr Robert Addo that, complainants in the case were officers from the Nkawie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
He said on September 3, at about 8:40am, the complainants led by Chief Inspector Abedi Larbi, were on their official patrol duty to ensure safety at Nkawie township and met the convict, who was in-charge of a Pragya tricycle with registration number M-25-A-3722.
He explained that, after a careful inspection, it was detected that the convict was without licence and other required documents, so Alhassan Seidu, the CPA, was instructed to lead him to the office for the next action.
On their way to the office, the convict took a different direction, so the CPA directed him to take the right route to the police station, but he disobeyed and attacked the CPA, resulting in a struggle between them.
In the process the convict bit the CPA on the chest, so he shouted for help and some nearby youth rushed to the scene and helped him to arrest the convict.
In his caution statement, he admitted the offence and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court. –GNA
