The Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Fritz Ramseyer Memorial Congregation, Bubiashie, Accra last Sunday held its ‘Old Skull’ Day service.
It was a sight to behold as the congregants attended the service clad in outfits which were popular in the 1940s through to the 1960s.
Men and women were spotted adorned in stockings, bushy weave-ons, high waist trousers and boots of all kinds and sizes. The children were not left out as their parents and guardians ensured they were clad in appealing old school outfits to mark the day.
Rev. John Nii Yartey Dickson the Minister-In-Charge of the Church said, the event was part of programmes outlined to commemorate the annual Ramseyer Month, celebrated in March each year, with interesting activities.
He said the month was also used to pray for the souls of the founding members and gallant soldiers who had worked towards the establishment of the church. Additionally, the month highlighted the contributions of Basel Missionaries who had sacrificed their lives to ensure Christianity became popular in Ghana.
Delivering his sermon, Mr Richmond Appiah, an Elder of the Church admonished Christians to live exemplary lives by being the light of the world.
He stated that it was very dangerous for Christians to behave like the Pharisees saying: “As horrible as physical blindness may be, there is a more dreadful kind of blindness which is the spiritual blindness.
“The Pharisees were suffering from spiritual blindness because they lacked insight. They failed to see Jesus as the light of the world,” he said.
A member of the church, Abigail Paintsil said she could picture how people dressed in the 80s. “I wished these programmes could be organised often.”
Stephen Mensah another member of the church said the church had been organising different events but “this is the first time I have joined this exciting ‘old skull’ event.”

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
