Church service to mark Palm Sunday

Most churches at Elmina and the Cape Coast municipality were filled to capacity to commemorate Palm Sunday, which marked the triumph entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem some 2000 years ago.

Most of the church goers wore white clothes, waved palm branches and made processions through some of the principal streets whiles others organised crusades.

In a sermon at the St Joseph Catholic Church in Cape Coast, Reverend Father Matthew Manu urged Christians to emulate the sacrificial life Jesus lived and endeavour to sacrifice their time, resource and energy to build the church and the nation.

He asked them never to forget the power of god in times of crisis and use the Holy Week to assist the needy and poor in the society.

At the AME Zion Church at Elmina, Rev. Derek Ben warned the arrogant and boastful to change their habit for the better for Jesus was humble and caring and urged them to use the Easter period to win more souls for the church.

Reverend Robert Felix Bassaw, Minister in-charge of the Bethel Methodist Church at Elmina said because Jesus humbled himself, God lifted him.

At the International Central Gospel Church, Pastor Ruben Obeng urged Christians to change their lifestyles to reflect that of true apostles of Christ and forge ahead in unity and peace.

Prayers were said for the, President, Ministers of State and the development of the country.
