GBAWE METHODIST CHOIR

The Chaplain of Wesley Grammar School in Accra, Rev, Albert Dadson, has urged Christian musicians to sing songs free from insinuations. Their songs should not create enmity and tension among people. Rather, they should reveal the character of God and lead people to economic, social, political and spiritual salvation. Rev. Dadson made the point when he dedicated robes for choristers of the Gbawe New Town Methodist Preaching Post in Accra. He said mankind is endowed with God-given talents, and it is only through the judicious use of these gifts that they will be called responsible stewards of God. Over three million cedis was collected in an appeal for funds. The branch also received a number of gifts, including an electric organ and microphones from some of the members.

Meanwhile, the Choir of the Calvary Methodist Church in the North-Accra Circuit, has celebrated its 60th anniversary. Highlights of the anniversary included the presentation of food items to the Special School for Mentally Retarded Children at Dzorwulu and award of prizes to deserving members. At a service to round off the activities, Rev. Dr.. Joseph Ekow Ghunney of the Trinity College said music creates miracles, provides peace, joy and perfect satisfaction in life, He cited instances in the Bible and urged the choristers and the congregation to emulate the examples with faith.
