GHANA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

GUMC BRONX LAUNCHES 40TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

GUMC Bronx is 40 Years old.

The resident pastor, Rev. Dr. Samuel Acquaah Arhin, delivered his sermon on this year's Theme -   "Celebrating the Goodness of God; Looking forward to His glory". The theme was chosen to coincide with the 40th anniversary celebration of Ghana United Methodist Church - Bronx.

During the 9am, 11:30am and 5:30pm services, the Resident pastor together with the Sis. Agnes Johnson (Chairperson of the Planning Committee), Bro. George Ansah (Lay Leader) and Bro. Anthony Owusu Asirifi (Council Chairman) unveiled the Banner for the year-long celebration.

Following the unveiling, the anniversary song, written and composed by Bro. Bright Amankwah (Music Director), was sung by the church choir to the glory of God.

Several activities earmarked for the year-long celebration were mentioned to the congregation. Members embraced the 40th anniversary plan and prayed for God's strength to carry the church through the year.​​

This year's Bible Study is based on the book titled : A God Centered Church - Experiencing God as a Church by Henry T. and Melvin D. Blackaby. This book was chosen to instill hope that the church can be a place where hearts are united, prayers are answered and people are readily open to whatever God wants. It seeks to redirect the church to God's original plan, intent and purpose for her existence.

Member are encouraged to participate on Wednesdays @ 7pm via the Divine Line and church Zoom Lines.

Let's 2 Timothy 2:15!!!

As part of the 40th Anniversary celebration , the maiden outdoor event was aimed to promote health awareness, preventive care, and community engagement among members of the Ghana United Methodist Church and the surrounding community. As a first-time initiative, it marked an important step toward fostering holistic wellness within both the congregation and the broader community.

​

The health fair attracted approximately 200 participants, including children, adults, church members, and community residents. Attendees benefited from a wide range of educational and interactive services designed to increase health awareness, encourage preventive care, and support

healthy lifestyle practices. The overall response to the event was highly positive, reflecting strong interest and engagement from the community.
