The Church Local Preacher, Reverend Arnold A. Smith, in his sermon, advised parents to always teach their children how to pray, stressing the need for all children to be very close to God. He explained that with prayers children will grow up to become good and important people in society.

‘’Prayers  will help the children to grow up and become good people,” he emphasized, adding that parents must also care for their children’s needs at all times so that the children will always feel that they belong.

The service was filled with praise, worship alongside the singing of carol tunes as well as the performance of skits by the children.

Delivering the vote of thanks, on behalf of the school, Head Girl, Miss Aminata Mansaray, extended thanks and appreciation to the parents and all the attendees.
