SDA church celebrates 125th anniversary

As part of activities marking the 125th anniversary of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church in Ghana, the Obuasi sector of the church on Sunday embarked on massive clean-up exercises at key health facilities within the municipality.

The over two hours exercise saw members of the church desilting gutters, clearing weeds, scrubbing among others the Bryant Mission Hospital and Eye Clinic, St Jude Hospital and the Obuasi Government Hospital.

Chairman of the planning committee of the Obuasi anniversary, Elder James Adjei Mensah, explained that they were motivated by the Church’s mission of ensuring a healthy environment at all times, and hoped other churches would emulate their example.

Mrs. Alice Kwarteng, a midwife at the St. Jude Hospital, on behalf of the facilities, thanked the church for factoring the well-being of the people of Obuasi in their anniversary celebration.

The 125th anniversary celebration is under the theme; "Proclaiming the coming King".
