The chapel was packed beyond the attendance for a normal Sunday church service, following the invitation of a lot of guests to grace the occasion.

The sermon was delivered by Very. Rev. Shadrack Piesie Asiedu-Larbi, the Diocesan Youth Organiser (DYO) of the Northern Accra Diocese.

Rhema Melody, a wing of the Bethel Methodist Youth Fellowship-Kokomlemle, set the tone with touching gospel music, before Contemporary Gospel Musician, Nathaniel Mensah, took the baton from them to pour out a series of Methodist Hymns to electrify the whole auditorium.

The Bethel Methodist Youth Fellowship Drama Group ushered in the main artistes for the occasion, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, by performing a Melo Drama and Choreography.

And when Daughters of Glorious Jesus finally took over the microphone they sang their hearts out in praise and worship to God while the congregation also soaked up the songs.

There was also a cutting of cake, led by the pioneers of the fellowship (1974 batch), to mark the 45th-anniversary celebration.

Kwaku Seyram was honoured as the Most Dedicated Member of the fellowship. Having joined the church in 2017, he rose to the high position of an Assistant Porter by September 2019, after a successful conduction of elections. Hard work, dedication and punctuality have been his weapons.

An anniversary brochure which has chronicled vital activities of the fellowship since 1974 was auctioned. Thomas Freeman N. Yeboah, the leader of the Youth Fellowship, bought the first copy for GHC 200.
