Last Sunday's, election of officers was one of the least contentious, better organized elections in recent memory. It was a far departure from the often haphazard and partisan atmosphere that had often characterized much of the Church's elections history. We can all be thankful and grateful to God for turning around the status quo. A lot of credit should go the resident minister, Rev. Samuel Nketsia who made sure to structure the order of worship in such a way as to mimize the loss of time. It worked wonderfully.

The electoral commissioner, Mr. Gilbert Asare and his team deserve some kudos as well. The following are the incoming members of church leaders. Bro. Daniel Asibuoh-Sarpong was nominated and confirmed as the new Lay Leader. He will be replacing Sis. Hannah Kusi. Bro. Eric Baah will head the struggling christian education committee. Bro. George Ansah has added responsibilities as the worship and evangelism committee chairperson after the two committees were merged. He was previously the evangelism committee chaiperson. Bro. Alfred Amponsem will chair the stewardship committee. Sis. Joyce Ackah will continue the work at the youth ministry as the new co-ordinator. Sis. Joycelyn Obeng Mcdade was confirmed as the new membership and welfare ministry chairperson.Sis. Evelyn Grace Parker will be taking over from Bro. Albert Osei-Owusu as the new archives and historical records chairperson. Sis. Stella Owusu is joining the finance committee as the Church's treasurer.

The annual harvest held on November 11, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as one of the most exciting, energetic and inspiring harvests in recent memory thanks in no small part to the 'full energy' ministering of Rev. Adu Gyamfi, a minister from Bible Believers Tabernacle, Bronx, NY. The Rev. stirred up the crowd with a raucous, 'praise the lord' to which the congregants responded with equally enthusiastic, 'amen.' The Rev. proceeded to deliver his message and conducted the appeal for fund raising. One of the more memorable nuggets of wisdom on giving that the Rev. impacted to the congregation was that, what we give to the work of God, only leaves our hand but it doesn't leave our life. He rose over $50K in cash that evening.

The occasion also saw a new innovation by the Harvest Committee. Dozens of Can Milk labeled with Ghana United Methodist Church was sold off at $20.00 a can thanks to the invigorating effort of Rev. Samuel Nketsia. Members of the congregation received a small bag with Snapple drink and doughnut or 'bofrot' in Ghanaian parlance for their enjoyment as a thank you gesture from the Harvest Committee.
