Police Church crowned champions

A 15-man contingent of the Police Interdenominational Church at 37, put up a breathtaking performance to emerged champions of the eighth edition of the Save the Last Dance 4 Jesus last Saturday.

Dressed in their all sea blue and white uniform, which made them looked like serious young police cadet on parade, the dance group won, after a spirited show, displaying creativity, confidence, energy and dynamism in an eight-minute beautiful choreograph to beat contenders from over 15 churches at the programme held at the Assemblies of God Church auditorium at Roman Ridge, Accra.  

The programme organised by the Youth Link Organisation in conjunction with the Ebenezer Methodist Church at Madina, winners of the seventh edition of the show, was for the Sunday School or Children Service Ministry Pupil of the various churches in Accra, below 15years, aimed at mobilising funds to support less privileged children in society.

The Action Faith Ministry and the Immanuel Presbyterian Churches at Madina took the first and second runner up spots respectively, while the well-behaved church trophy went to International Gospel Church Faith Temple.      

“The participant for the Church were just splendid and excellent”, says Mr. Aristedes Hargoe, a Judge at the programme, who added that wining teams’ creativity and composure on stage were outstanding.

In an excited mood Master Samuel Tetteh-Mensah, leader of the Police Church winning group, recounts how hard work and teamwork, helped them win the competition.

Similarly, Prince Kwabena Antwi, the Sunday School teacher of the winning group, stated that their team gave their best to win, and commended organisers of the programme, saying that such shows helped to actively engage the children and keep them at Church.    

In a congratulatory note, Mr. Kakra Opoku-Agyakwa, Executive Secretary of the Youth Link Ghana, commended the participants of the Police Interdenominational Church for staging such a splendid show to emerge as champions, adding that in all their seven appearance at the show, this was the first time they came very close and won.

Earlier he said the programme was to entertain themselves by dancing for Jesus, networking and raising funds to support the underprivileged in society. Thus he said the programme was to help last year’s winners, the Ebenezer Methodist Church undertake their project of constructing a poultry facility for the Mampong School for the Blind, in the Eastern Region.

The Very Rev. John Hammond, Superintendent Minister of the Ebenezer Methodist Church, lauded the ideals of the programme, which he noted offered an opportunity for the children to support each other to bring joy to the less privileged ones.

Mr. Vincent Oppong Asamoah, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, in a brief remarked also commended organisers for their foresight and the impact they were helping children make in the society, and urged children to led exemplary lives to bring Christ’s light to all.

In attendance were the Humble Stars troupe which staged a superb gymnastic dance choreograph at the function.
