As part of activities marking its 2021 annual camp meeting, the Apostolic Faith Church in West and Central Africa (WECA), held its annual Musical Concert titled, “Our Gratitude”, at Anthony Village, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Acting District Superintendent, Rev. Gabriel Kayode Ajayi could not hide his excitement, noting that the church was fortunate to hold a physical concert this year as against last year, which was not held due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In his welcome address, he appreciated the attendees, both physical and online, specifically welcoming legislators in Nigeria, top government functionaries, captains of industry, royal fathers and media practitioners.
He sympathized with the families of those who have lost their lives to Covid-19, praying that sooner than expected, Coronavirus would be a thing of the past.
He prayed that by God’s grace, mountains before individuals, Nigeria and the church of God would be removed, adding, “God will give the people of Nigeria peace”.
The concert was held in two sessions, with each session having four items.
Some of the songs rendered at the concert include: Clarinet Concerto in a Major by W. A. Mozart, Ekele (Thanks), from Igboland, Nigeria, Emmanuel, Agbemavo, Kardelen, by Bora Bilgin, from Republic of Benin and Mida Akpe, from Ghana.
Others were: He is the Rock, Mountain Get Out of My Way, Hold the Fort for I am coming, Harmonious Blacksmith by G. F. Handel, Yak Ifori Itoro Abasi (Let us Shout & Praise God), Efik from Ekot -Enwang Region of Nigeria, Camp Meeting Medley (Yoruba, Ado-Ekiti) and My Heart is Indicting.
