    3. Please all worshippers are sensitized to be vigilant during services and other activities and they should not leave their personal belongings unattended because of hoodlums that may be mingling with us.
  2. OUR SPIRITUALITY:

For us to have improved and guaranteed Spiritual growth this year, as mentioned earlier, we have started our Bible School which is for only two hours per week.  To also ensure convenience for all our members and other interested people from outside, we have put in on Saturdays at 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. in the chapel.  We have a Workbook.  We appeal that we all still make the sacrifice to join and attend punctually.  There will be homework and two exams and we shall   receive certificate at the end of the exercise which wiill last for six months.  This will also impact on our finances and other expectations as well.

  1. MONTHLY BAPTISM: Our baptism holds every first Saturday of the month.  Please plan to key into this, as your preferred date could clash with other programmes and can lead to rejection of your date.
  2. SPECIAL OCCASSIONAL PAMPHLET /PROGRAMME: Henceforth, approval in respect of order of service for special programmes such as weddings, burials, birthdays, service of songs, commednation etc must first     be collected from the Vicar before further action. Members should please, note and comply.
  3. DRESSING OF BRIDES AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BRIDAL TRAIN DURING WEDDING SERVICES: We use this medium to appeal to all parents and guardians whose children (daughters or daughters-in-law) will be getting married to teach them the dignity of decent dressing, especially during wedding services. By               decent dressing, we mean that the wedding gowns and other wedding  dresses should cover the entire body. Any indecent dressings during such occasions will be frowned at and the clergy will not take kindly to  it. This is a very important notice that  must be taken seriously by all our parishioners and other worshippers because we   will not compromise the Word of God for any reason.
