Rev. Fr. Attipoe urged Christians to renew their hearts and let go of the past and focus on the New Year with hope and enthusiasm.

Speaking in a sermon to mark the end of 2020 and welcome the New Year 2021, in Accra he urged “the congregation to thank God for His mercies and love bestowed upon us as the world bid farewell to 2020.

"We need to thank God because it is not everybody who was alive to witness the end of 2020".

He was confident that the year 2021 would be full of favour, progress, assuring that God would do something new in the lives of its people.

The Clergyman charged the congregants to trust in the Lord and walk with Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind.
