MsMARY AUGUSTINE MANGA’S ADDRESS, DELIVERED AT THE SUNDAY SERVICE
DEAR SAKERETTES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
ON BEHALF OF EXSSA UK, I WELCOMEYOU ALL THIS MORNING TO THIS WORSHIP SERVICE. I AM A SAKERETTE - INFACT I AMREGISTRATION NUMBER 3, THE FIRST BATCHOF GRADUATES IN 1967, FROM SAKER BAPTIST COLLEGE. OUR SCHOOL IS NOW 51 YEARS OLD - BUILT ON A REMARKABLE DREAM BY VISIONARIES DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH AND NOURISHA RELIGIOUS FOUNDATION/EDUCATION OF THE GIRL CHILD - A DREAM THATBECAME A REALITY FOR MANYOF US.
GOD, PRAISE AND WORSHIP WERE AT THE VERY CENTRE AND STRONGHOLD OF OUR
FOUNDATION IN SAKER, WHERE WE WERE TAUGHT, TO PRAISE, WORSHIP AND GIVE THANKS
DAILY TO HIMIN MANY WAYS -SING, PRAY AND DANCE. INFACT, WE HAVE A SAYING THAT
WHERE TWO OR THREE SAKERETTES ARE GATHERED, YOU WILL BE SURE TO HEAR A MELODIOUSHARMONY OF MUSIC AND SINGING.
OUR THEME FOR THIS CONVENTION 2013 HAS BEEN TOWORKTOGETHER...TOWARDSA BETTER
TOMORROW. THIS IS AN APPEAL TO YOU ALL GATHERED HERE TODAY - NOT ONLY TO SAKERETTES
HERE IN THE UK BECAUSE- COLLECTIVELY WE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE NOT
ONLY IN THE LIVES OF THE YOUNG SAKERETTES CURRENTLY STUDYING IN SAKER BAPTIST COLLEGE
BUT WE CAN ALSO BETTER THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND US - IN SMALL MEANINGFUL WAYS. WE USE TO
SING IN SAKER...Little is much when God is in it!Labour not for wealth or fame.There’s a crown—and you can win it,
If you go in Jesus’ Name.
THEEXSSA UK MOTTO IS "WORKING WITH ONE MIND" - THAT MEANS HAVING A SHARED AND COMMON
GOAL/VISION. IN 1ST PETER CHAPTER 4 VERSE 10....HE SAID " AS EACH HAS RECEIVED A GIFT, USE IT
TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER, AS GOOD STEWARDS OF GOD'S VARIED GRACE".
TO THIS END, AS YOU LISTEN AND RECEIVE THE MESSAGE FROM REV SUKI IN HIS SERMON TODAY, I IMPLORE
AND BESEECH EACH ONE OF YOU PRESENT HERE TODAY TO...
- WORK HARD TO PROMOTE THE WELFARE OF THE GIRL CHILD IN SAKER
- WORK TOGETHER TO SAFEGUARD THE RIGHT OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN SAKER
- WORK FOR TOMORROW - YESTERDAY IS PAST, BUT YOU CAN WORK TODAY FOR THE FUTURE
- WORK WITH PRIDE TO PROMOTE THE ETHOS OF LOVE, UNITY & SISTERHOOD
- AND MOST ESPECIALLY WORK WITH ONE MIND, VISION, GOAL AND FOCUS TO ACHIEVE AND SUCCEED
I PRAY THE MESSAGE INSPIRES,PROPELS YOU TO ACTION,ACTS ASA CATALYST IN YOUR LIFE IN WHATEVER PLANS AND DREAMS YOU HOLD.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
IN LOVE, UNITY & SISTERHOOD
