Children and Youth Shine at Presbyterian Church Azire’s Annual Celebration

Children and Youth Shine at Presbyterian Church Azire’s Annual Celebration. The Presbyterian Church Azire buzzed with energy and vibrant faith on Sunday, February 9, 2025, as children and youths led the congregation in celebrating their annual Children and Youth Sunday. The theme for this special occasion, “On the Lord’s Mountain, There is Transformation,” drawn from Exodus 24:12-18, resonated throughout the two services held that day. The young members of the church took center stage, demonstrating their God-given talents and leadership potential.

From the opening hymns to the closing benediction, the children and youths actively participated in every aspect of the services. They delivered powerful and inspiring sermons, sharing their interpretations of the chosen scripture passage and relating it to their own lives. Their insightful messages touched the hearts of the congregation, reminding everyone of the importance of faith and the transformative power of God’s presence. The young people also led the congregation in vibrant and uplifting worship, filling the sanctuary with joyful music and heartfelt prayers. Their enthusiasm and dedication were contagious, creating an atmosphere of celebration and spiritual renewal.

The presence of Reverend Acha Gerald, the Presbyterial Secretary for the Mezam South Presbytery and Parish Pastor of Presbyterian Church Azire, along with other esteemed ministers of the church, added to the significance of the day. Rev. Acha Gerald’s support and encouragement underscored the church’s commitment to nurturing the spiritual growth of its young members. The ministers joined the congregation in witnessing the remarkable talents and unwavering faith of the children and youths, recognizing their vital role in the present and future of the church.

This annual celebration is a cherished tradition within the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, providing a dedicated Sunday each year to honor and celebrate the gifts and abilities of its young people. It serves as a platform for them to express their faith, develop their leadership skills, and experience a strong sense of belonging within the church community. By actively involving children and youths in the services, the church fosters their spiritual growth, nurtures their spirit of service, and inspires them to become future leaders of the church. This initiative reflects the Presbyterian Church’s commitment to investing in the next generation and ensuring the continued vitality of the church for years to come. The 2025 Children and Youth Sunday at Presbyterian Church Azire was a testament to the power of faith, the potential of young people, and the enduring strength of the church.
