The induction oath was administered by Apostle James
Smith Gyimah, an Executive Council Member and
Takoradi Area Head, on behalf of the Chairman,
Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah. Thereafter, the
inductees and their executive committee members were
prayed for.
Preaching the sermon at the induction service,
Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah charged the inductees and
their executives to consider the event as marking a
new beginning of their service to the Church and
society.
Apostle Dr. Opoku Onyinah said the inductees were
being given a rare opportunity to serve God in a
special way and to meet the needs of their members,
adding that times have changed and that they should
be more proactive in facing the challenges of the
times.
Basing his message on Song of Songs 2:10-13, Apostle
Dr. Opoku Onyinah gave the congregation the seven
keys to a new beginning and urged the congregation
to learn to abide by decisions taken by the General
Council.
He said any programme put in place by the Church
should be motivated by the cause to minister to the
spiritual needs of the members but not to raise
money from them.
The Chairman urged the clergy and officers of the
Church to live above reproach, adding that “it was
worrying to hear of incidence of fornication,
adultery and stealing of Church funds among the
clergy and officers.”

“Congratulations!” say Apostle D. K. Noble-Atsu

inductees and their wives who beam with smiles.
