The Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM) of A-Lang Worship Centre of The Church of Pentecost has organised a Leavers' service for all students who successfully completed various levels of education this year.
The event, which was held in collaboration with the Chaplaincy Ministry of the Church, was held to thank God for successfully seeing them through their education and also orient them about life after school.
The event was chaired by the Resident Minister, Apostle Dr. Christian Tsekpoe, and also had in attendance his wife, Mrs Olivia Tsekpoe, Elder Eric Ogoe (SOM Leader), Elder Isaac Danful (Chaplaincy Ministry Leader) and Elder Richard Danso Boampong (District Youth Ministry Leader).
Speaking on the topic: "Ebenezer, That Is How Far The Lord Has Brought Us" with 1 Samuel 7:12 as her anchor text, Mrs Olivia Tsekpoe, the guest speaker for the programme, explained that "Ebenezer" does not imply an end of the journey, but rather a stage of the journey the Lord has brought them.
This, according to her, indicates that God is not yet done with them for there is a lot more ground to cover.
She, therefore, advised the graduates, especially those who are still living with or depending on their parents, to serve and respect them.
She also encouraged them to learn new skills at this time of recess as they await their results.
Apostle Dr. Christian Tsekpoe, on his part, advised the graduates to put on a good behaviour at home.
"If you make your parents happy God will bless you," he said.
He also stressed the need for them to take particular interest in their spiritual growth, saying: "This is the time for you to serve God."
After his remarks, the Resident Minister prayed for the graduates, who comprised two Master's level graduates, seven first degree graduates, eight WASSCE graduates and 17 BECE graduates.
They were each presented a certificate of completion by the Church.
