Anglican
Diocese holds valedictory service for Venerable Anthony Eiwuley
The
Anglican Diocese of Tema has held a special service in honour of Venerable
Anthony Morkehchie Eiwuley, who has retired from active ministry after 24 years
of dedicated priestly service in the church.
The thanksgiving and farewell service held
last Sunday at the Christ the King Anglican Church at Sakumono brought together
family, friends, the clergy, guild members, parishioners and loved ones.
Present at the service was the Lord Bishop
of Tema, the Rt Rev. George Kotei Neequaye and diocesan officials.
Homily
Delivering the homily, Venerable Eiwuley
reflected on the words of St Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought the good
fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
He encouraged Christians and church
leaders to remain steadfast in their calling, faithful in service and committed
to the mission of Christ, regardless of the challenges encountered along the
journey of ministry.
Throughout the service, messages poured in
from the diocese, various church societies and guilds, parishioners and loved
ones, all expressing gratitude for Ven. Eiwuley’s humility, pastoral care,
mentorship and unwavering commitment to the Anglican Church.
During his 24 years in
ministry, Ven. Eiwuley served in several parishes, including the Holy Gabriel
Anglican Church, Ashaiman; the St Nicholas Anglican Church, Lashibi; the St
Monica Anglican Church, Baatsona and the Christ the King Anglican Church,
Sakumono, where he served until his retirement.
Commendation
The atmosphere was filled with
thanksgiving, emotion and celebration as the church acknowledged Ven. Eiwuley’s
immense contribution to the ministry and wished him well in retirement. Prayers
were offered for God’s continued strength, peace and blessings upon him and his
family in the next chapter of his life.
