THE West Brong Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana Choirs Union has held their first anniversary at Drobo in the Jaman South District of the Brong Ahafo Region.
As part of the celebrations, the delegates donated various food items including beverages and yams to patients of the Drobo St. Mary’s Hospital.
In their interaction with the patients, members of the choir shared the word of God with them to give them hope and encouragement for quick recovery.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Julius Atta Bediako, the Jaman South District Chief Executive (DCE), stressed that members of the choir were to sing songs that would attract non-Christians to change their ways and serve God.
