Sunday, April 13, 2025 witnessed the platinum celebration of a father, husband, mentor, marriage counsellor extraordinaire and Elder of the household of faith, Nick Akweh.
For anyone who has known Elder Nick for long, he has been an elder for decades and he has looked youthful all these years. It's a wonder that he is now three score and 10.
Friends, family and church members and colleagues gathered at the Ancom Hotel, Golf City, Tema, to honour the man who deserves it all for the impact he has had on many lives.
Find below some exciting moments captured at the 70th Birthday Celebration of Elder Nick Akweh.

As if it had been planned from the Heavens, the Month of March has not only been a time for celebrations, but it has specifically been a time to be 50 years of age.
One of the golden jubilees celebrated on Sunday, March 30, 2025, was by twins, Matthew and Mark Neequaye in Tema.
What a joyous occasion it was indeed, as few friends and family rejoiced with the celebrants and thanked God for His goodness upon their lives. Indeed where would we all be without the mercies of our God.
Some of the joyous and emotional scenes are shared below.

Life, it is said, begins at 40 but attaining age 50 is seen as clocking the Golden Age. As such, celebrating this milestone is always seen as incontrovertible.
Well, for Rev. James Debrah, Pastor in charge of the Greener Pastures Chapel of the Full Gospel Church International (FGCI), Saki, Golf City near Tema, the best way to celebrate his acceptance to the Fifth Floor was by offering worship to the Almighty God. And what a time in His presence it was on Sunday, March 16, 2025!
Leading guests to the Throne room were Ministers Kweku Teye, Mary Adjabeng, Baaba and Rev. Shadrach.
View some moments captured by #Edmages below.

Emmanuel Nii Adjei, popularly know as Nii Sapp, on Saturday married his sweetheart, Esther Maame Adjoa Awuni at the Hope Chapel, Assemblies of God at Town Council Line, Accra.
The beautiful ceremony attracted family, friends and loved ones of both the groom and bride.
If you missed it, here are a few shots from Edmages who managed to combine this with some uncle duties at the event. We wish Mr and Mrs Adjei the best of married life and may they grow old together as husband and wife.

Today, Friday,
February 14, 2025, is a day designated as St. Valentine’s Day. However, the
history as to how Valentine’s Day has come to be what we now know and
celebrate, is somewhat murky.
One of the
accounts says that St. Valentine served in third-century Rome when Emperor
Claudius decided that single men made better soldiers. Therefore, Claudius
banned soldiers from being married.
The story is
that Valentine continued to perform the weddings of young soldiers who were in
love, and Claudius had Valentine imprisoned. While imprisoned, Valentine
reportedly fell in love with the jailer’s daughter. Valentine sent her a card
and signed it, "Love, your Valentine."
Another version
is that Valentine defied Claudius by helping Christians escape the torture of
the Romans. Yet another account claims that the church may have decided to
celebrate in mid-February to "Christianise" the pagan Roman
celebration Lupercalia.
But whatever it
is, Valentine's Day it has become accepted globally as a day to show affection
and express love towards others by sharing gifts. The colour associated with
the day is red, hence the sharing of some pictures of our model today in RED!

Although a week day, the solemnisation of holy matrimony attracted a few friends, family members and parishioners.
