The Prisons Interdenominational Church at Cantonments as part of its 35th anniversary celebrations has donated an amount of GHȻ2,000.00 to the Prisons Officers’ Training School to support the ongoing housing projects at the school.
Presenting the cheque for the amount at the school at Roman Ridge in Accra, the Priest-in Charge of the church, Cannon Selwyn S. Adama Okai, noted that it was appropriate for his outfit to give its widow’s mite to the training school to help it develop more structures to adequately house its officers under training.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the Acting Director-General of Prisons, the Director of Prisons (DOP) in charge of Finance and Administration, Mr. Stephen Cofie, was grateful to the church for the kind gesture, and said, ‘no matter how big or small the amount is, it is very acceptable in the sight of God. May God continue to bless you so you can give more to the Service in the future’.
Present at the donation were Mr. Alexander Kwame Kuma Kpeli, the Director of Prisons in charge of Human Resource Development; Mr. Mark Agbosu, the Commandant of the Training School; and Chief Superintendent Edward Ashun, Deputy Commandant of the Training School.
The rest who represented the Church’s Council were Brother Charles Clegg, Steward of the church; Brother Kwame Obosu, Assistant Steward; and Brother Joseph Andoh, Secretary of the church.
The church, which was established in the year 1982, will be launching its week-long anniversary celebration on Sunday, 29th October, 2017, under the theme: ‘Come let us Build Ourselves a City’, and will witness dignitaries such as former president Jerry John Rawlings, President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, and some top men of God and gospel musicians in the country.
The programme line up for the event will include a Candle light Procession, a Night of Choral Music, All Saints Day Service, a Heritage Night, a Night of Praises and Worship, Homecoming and a Thanksgiving and Fundraising Service.
