The six member team was elected by delegates at the
Council’s 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the Bread of
Life Methodist Chapel, Dansoman from June 25 - 26, 2022.
Led by Bro Joseph Eduam, who was elected the next

the Diocese held at the Joseph Afotey Aku-Boye Memorial Methodist Chapel,
Teshie North in April 2022, the newly elected officers comprises Sis Henrietta

The newly elected officers will take over from the
Sis Agatha Ennin Osei led administration from October 2022 when the incumbent
officers’ tenure of office will expire.
Introducing the newly elected officers to
congregants at the Bread of Life Methodist Chapel, Dansoman where the AGM was
climaxed with a Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, June 26, 2022, the Accra
Diocesan Lay Chairman, Sis Agatha Ennin Osei appealed to members to support the
incoming officers to be successful in their new roles.
The Superintendent Minister of the Dansoman South
Circuit, the Very Rev Joshua A. Orgen prayed for the newly elected officers.
In line with the mandate of Lay Movement, the newly
elected officers will be expected to mobilise lay persons to assist in the
implementation of the Church’s decisions at the Diocesan level and to
coordinate the work of the various organisations within the Church.
