The Methodist Church in Takoradi, the Airport Ridge Society recently hosted its annual main harvest event, and the occasion was supposed to be graced by none other than the Western Regional Minister.

In his absence, the esteemed Matilda Aseidu-Akrofi, the chairman of the finance and development of the church stood in as the chairman, adding an air of distinction to the proceedings.

This small yet vibrant church is known for its dedicated members who are brimming with enthusiasm, and their commitment to the community was on full display during this important event.

The primary goal of this year's harvest was to bridge a financial gap of 185,000 Ghanaian Cedis.

The funds raised were earmarked to pay off the outstanding amount on a piece of church land that holds immense significance to the congregation.
