The service was graced with performances by the Aglow Choir, Pentecost Joshua and Osei Blessing, among others.

Referencing Psalm 89:20, she entreated all citizens to repent and rededicate their lives to God to help,“sustain and strengthen the country from the woes of the evil one”. 

Mrs Afenyi-Dadzie also led the congregation to pray that God protect the country in the second half of the year from negative events such as warsthatwould disruptthe peace and tranquility.

The congregation also prayed for God to build a wall of fire over the country to prevent any internal or external forces against the country.
