Tema-Ghana, Sept. 18, GNA – The Methodist Church of Ghana has commended Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary (SUWMA), an organisation of the Methodist Church Ghana Mount Zion Society, Tema West Circuit, for commissioning the Wesleyan Cafeteria at Sakumono within the church premises.
The Very Reverend Ebenezer Popeson Adjei, the Secretary of Synod-Tema Diocese, Supt. Minister of Tema West Circuit, and Minister in Charge of Mt. Zion Methodist Church, who gave the commendation, noted that the Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary setting up a Christ-centred cafeteria deserves applause.
Rev. Adjei stated during the commissioning, dedication, and unveiling of “The Wesleyan Cafeteria,” which was jointly conducted by the Right Reverend Samuel Ofori-Akyea, Bishop of Tema Diocese, and assisted by the Very Rev. Ebenezer Popeson Adjei, Synod Secretary and Superintendent Minister of Tema West Circuit.
Other are Mr. Robert Andrews Taylor, Lay Chairman, Tema Diocese; Rev. Solomon Tetteh Nortey, Circuit Minister; Mr. Duke Osam-Duodo, Mt Zion Society Lay Movement Council Chairman; and Mrs. Agnes Sikanartey, Past Diocesan President, among other executives.
Rev. Adjei also commended the SUWMA for rendering services to the church for free, stressing that the group also engages in more activities as they have raised funds by engaging in some commercial activities.
“SUWMA had performed a great job; therefore, the church members as well as the community will patronise their services not only on Sundays but during the weekdays”, he noted.
He added that they have sacrificed and committed themselves to this project, acknowledged their efforts, and extended God’s blessings on them to succeed with peace of mind, love, and a caring heart for God’s people, as God will bless them in abundance by giving more.
“The church has been blessed for its achievements as it has been subscribed to Compassion International Ghana and so on”, he outlined.
Mrs. Margaret Neney Arthur, Tema Assistant Chairwoman of SUWMA, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Mt. Zion Society, Tema West Circuit, for the commission of the Wesleyan Cafeteria in honour of Susanna Wesley, mother of John and Charles Wesley.
She stated that SUWMA, with the establishment of the cafeteria, would serve the church and the community, which is a good initiative because, as much as the church feeds us with the Holy Spirit, the cafeteria would feed us physically with good food for a healthy body.
Mrs. Arthur also congratulated the Mt. Zion Society and motivated them to have faith because every beginning is difficult; hence, they need to keep improving to meet their standards, and they should also keep to quarterly evaluations for improvement.
Mrs. Vida Atta-Peters, Past Connexional Executive Member, noted that the cafeteria has various menus that include jollof rice, fried rice, fufu served with a variety of soup, pastries, and local drinks, among others, hence the invitation of all congregants to taste the foods exhibited for the commission of the cafeteria.
“The Wesleyan Cafeteria” was christened by the Very Rev. Ebenezer Popeson Adjei in honour of Susanna Wesley, the mother of John Wesley and Charles Wesley, whose model and character the organisation SUWMA exhibited.
