Christ Apostolic Church, Babalola Regional Choir on Sunday July 4, 2021 held its annual Community Hymns Singing to honour God in the life of the church's President, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele.
Babalola Regional Choir also inducted their newly appointed Patrons and Patronesses at a service held at CAC All Saints Chapel, CAC General Secretariat, Ibadan.
The choir in their beautiful uniform performed hymns such as CACGHB 993, CACGHB 317, CACGHB 839, CACGHB 789, CACGHB 409, CACGHB 738 and songs such as "Ko s'ogun to le bori re "by Pastor Z.O. Ajayi, "Jomiloju" by Dr. Dayo Oyedun (specially dedicated to Pastor Oladele), "Olorun Igbala dakun gba wa" by M.O. Akinyemi and many others.
Pastor Oladele with his wife, Mrs. Susanna Oladele were presented with an enlargement photograph which he received joyfully.
While speaking during the programme, Pastor Oladele appreciated the organisers of the programme, saying that their ministration really ministered to him.
The President who said he was nine years old when he became the choir master of his assembly at Alagbagba, noted that he never knew he would be where he is today.
The guest minister of the programme who is the DCC Superintendent of CAC Sanngo DCC, Pastor J.B. Agunbiade said while ministering on the topic "The Source Matters" that every song in our hymn book has its source and there is a particular event that begat the song.
He noted that God loves to be worshipped and that was why He created us to worship Him.
According to him, God should be the source of gospel singers, noting that anything different from that is idolatry.
Pastor Agunbiade said choir ministration ought to bring souls to repentance, but this is not the case again.
The programme had in attendance the General Evangelist, Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji, who was represented by his wife, Mrs. Esther Oladeji, General Secretary, Pastor Emmanuel E. Mapur, Regional Superintendent of Babalola Region, Pastor J.O. Ogunwuyi, Director of Publicity, Pastor Ade Alawode, Special Assistant to the President, Pastor Tunde Asokeji and many others.
