Sunyani Wesley Organise Thanksgiving Service For Prof.

From Vivianna Mensah, Sunyani

Wesley Cathedral, Sunyani early Sunday morning organised a memorial service in memory of the late former President, John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills at the Church premises in Sunyani to thank the Lord for a successful burial.

Leading the service the Diocesan Bishop for Sunyani, RT. Rev. Kofi Asare Bediako called on Ghanaians to stop casting insinuations among themselves over the death of the President because the President died a peaceful man.

According to the tribute read on behalf of the Methodist Church Ghana, he said the Church was honoured to have associated itself with the late President John Evans Mills and will surely miss him.

Rev. Bediako said he knows Ghanaians have learnt a lot from the President’s demise and he knows it will guide Ghanaians in everything they do.

He also stated that the President introduced a lot of Christian Union in the castle which made him say God was the President of Ghana which many criticised but he was not perturbed because of the God he worshipped.

Rev. Bediako further called on Ghanaians to know that they have one nation and one common destiny therefore they must eschew divisiveness which will hinder the peace Ghanaians are enjoying.

“Let us not take the peace we are enjoying for granted, we must work towards the peace we preach not just called for peace by mouth”, he added.

The Bishop also led the Church in prayers for the late President and read John 14:1-6 to church.

A minute silence was observed in honour of the late President after which the Bishop mentioned his name three times on which the church responded ‘thanks be God’.

Speaking to Daily Guide after the memorial service, Rev. Bediako said the memorial service will be reciprocated in all the sixteen cathedral church in the country.

He also used the opportunity to call on Ghanaians to work towards peace in the upcoming elections and after elections.
