The Accra East District of the Seventh Day Adventist Church is set to organize its annual family fun games on 21st July, 2019. The event dubbed ”Connect 19 – Unity through games” will be held at the ELWAK sports stadium at Cantonments in Accra.<\/p>\n
Connect 19, is aimed at rallying all the eight Seventh Day Adventist Churches within the Accra East District for a fun fair that will improve the health and well-being of its members, contribute to the networking and empowerment of individuals and promoting community inclusiveness.<\/p>\n
The participating S.D.A churches include; La-North, La-South, Labone, Garrison, Prince Emmanuel, Day Spring, 37 Bandline and Osu Bethel.<\/p>\n
”Many of us are saddled with work and occupied with other things that we rarely make time for our physical well-being, family, friends and even the church. We’re not saying that this one day event is enough to make up for all of these shortfall but at least it will give us a head start in the coming days and remind all of us the need to translate our love for God into Love for self, one another – family, friends, our health and the church” said Jonathan Abbey, a member of the organizing Committee for this year’s event.<\/p>\n
Beginning from 15th June, the event organizers STEWARDS will embark on a trophy tour to all the participating churches in the Accra East District and showcase the various medals up for grabs in the competition.<\/p>\n
The games to be staged on the day are Athletics, football, volleyball, scrabble and among others. Bouncy Castle, Video Gaming and Face painting have also been incorporated as side attractions.<\/p>\n
Over 2,000 Adventists and non-Adventists are expected to participate in this event.<\/p>\n
