All roads lead to the Cathedral Church of Saint John, Ekwulobia tomorrow, Sunday, September 16, 2018,
for the fiftieth birthday anniversary of the wife of the Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese and President, Aguata Diocesan Women Organizations, Mrs. Chinyere Huldah Ezeofor (JP), Nnechukwunyere. The ceremony, which is an important milestone in her history, will commence with a special Eucharistic service, beginning at 12 noon.
Actually, for one to attain a golden jubilee age is by divine providence. This, therefore, calls for celebration, spiritual meditation and thanksgiving to God for His Mercies and Blessings. However, for Mrs. Chinyere Ezeofor, Mama Aguata, the occasion is a tripartite celebration.
One is to thank the Almighty Father for their translation from Ogbaru to Aguata Diocese. Second, for her successful inauguration as the second President of the Mothers’ Union, Women’s and Girls’ Guild, in addition to successful conclusion of the thirteenth Aguata Diocesan Women’s Conference, which took place at Saint John the Divine Church, Oko, between August 2nd and 5th, 2018, with the theme “Jesus Christ the Foundation and the Chief Cornerstone,”.
The golden jubilee celebration of Mrs. Ezeofor, which will attract many dignitaries, including government functionaries, captains of industry, the academia, the religious and women leaders in different churches, will reach its crescendo with the presentation of her maiden music album as part of ‘Generous God Education Fund’, a foundation she is floating to assist indigent but brilliant students obtain quality education to prepare them effectively as future leaders.
