THE Trinity Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Mampong-Akuapem has donated assorted items worth GH¢2,500 to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital at Mampong-Akuapem.
The items, meant for the both patients and staff of the facility, included several bags of rice, loaves of bread, cartons of milk, biscuits, provisions and toiletries.
The donation, which was aimed at assisting the beneficiaries to also share the joy of the Yuletide, formed part of activities to mark the church’s 150th anniversary.
Presenting the items, the Chairman of the Akuapem Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Dr J. O. Y. Mantey, said the members of the church decided to give to the beneficiaries as part of their contribution to make the celebration of the festivity “a meaningful one for them”.
“Since God chose to give His best gift to mankind, Jesus Christ, we have also decided to give to the patients and staff of the hospital as required of us as Christians to support our fellow human beings to put a smile on their faces during the Christmas festivity,” Dr Mantey said.
Receiving the items, the Administrator of the hospital, Mrs Devine Narteh, thanked the church for the support to the patients and staff of the hospital, noting that the gesture would make the celebration of the Yuletide an enjoyable moment for them.
