The Rev. I.K. Asuamah Thompson Memorial Methodist Church on Saturday hosted the second edition of the annual ‘Aseda’ musical concert, a vibrant celebration of gratitude led by the church’s Singing Band.
This year’s service also featured invited groups across the Methodist Church, whose harmonious performances added depth and colour to the worship experience.
Participating groups included the Bread of Life Singing Band, Mount Zion, Resurrection Methodist Band, Gethsemane, and St Mary’s Singing Band, among others. Their blended harmonies, rich choral interludes, and stirring renditions created an atmosphere of spirit-filled praise and collective thanksgiving.
The event brought together church members, choirs, and invited guests in a spirited celebration that blended music, scripture, and reflection, thereby reaffirming the church’s commitment to worship and communal thanksgiving.
Speaking at the celebration, the Head Pastor, Very Rev. Mrs Naana Esi Dannyame, said this year’s event focused on the theme ‘Fruit of the Lips’, drawn from Hebrews, 1 Thessalonians, and Psalm 103.
She explained that the event was designed to help the congregation deliberately reflect on God’s goodness. According to her, thanksgiving is not measured in material gifts but in the sincerity of one’s worship. “We gather to recount God’s goodness, His protection, forgiveness, mercy and preservation of life. Scripture calls us not to forget His benefits,” she said.
Very Rev. Dannyame commended the singing band and invited choir groups for leading the congregation in heartfelt worship, noting that the focus of the occasion was Christ, “who loved us and gave Himself for us.”
The President of the Christ Little Band of the church, Mr Emmanuel Addo, urged Christians to embrace gratitude as a core value in their daily walk with God.
He said the overarching theme, ‘Full of Values’, underscored the power and purpose of deliberate praise.
Mr Addo emphasised that believers were called to offer God a continual “sacrifice of praise” through Jesus Christ, describing worship as a living testimony of gratitude and devotion.
He also encouraged the congregation to let every melody and lyric magnify God and inspire unity, joy, and hope.

Ghana is set to showcase its fashion and creative prowess on the global stage with the maiden edition of Black Star Fashion Week (BSFW), a national event aimed at discovering talent, uniting industry players and projecting Ghanaian fashion to the world.
The event is spearheaded by the Presidency-backed Black Star Experience Secretariat, led by Rex Owusu Marfo, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and the Ghana Tourism Authority.
Structured around two connected experiences in Accra and Senchi, Black Star Fashion Week will transition from industry dialogue and talent discovery to a grand fashion celebration.
Speaking to The Spectator, the Coordinator for Black Star Experience, Mr Rex Owusu Marfo, said the first day, scheduled for November 4 at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, would feature the Black Star Fashion Summit.
According to him, the summit will bring together designers, fashion entrepreneurs, creatives, investors, buyers, manufacturers, policymakers and media representatives for discussions on entrepreneurship, branding, digital marketing, textile innovation, manufacturing, fashion finance, export readiness, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, sustainability and intellectual property.
Activities will include keynote addresses, panel discussions, fireside chats, masterclasses and workshops.
A key highlight will be the 16-Region Designer Programme, which will bring together emerging talents from across Ghana to interpret their regions’ identities, cultures, opportunities, heritage and craftsmanship through fashion.
The Accra programme will culminate in the selection of five top designers, with one advancing to the grand finale at Senchi.
On November 7, industry players will gather at the Royal Senchi for the Black Star Fashion Show. Beyond the runway, a Fashion Village will host designer showcases, retail exhibitions, textiles, artisan experiences, brand activations, beauty, technology and lifestyle experiences.
The event will also celebrate Ghana’s cultural diversity through music, dance, textiles, crafts, food and storytelling, while honouring outstanding contributors to the fashion ecosystem and creating business linkages between designers and investors.
The Black Star Experience is a Government of Ghana initiative to promote culture, arts, tourism and creative engagement, positioning Ghana as a leading cultural and creative capital of Africa.
