The Archbishop of Ibadan Ecclesiastical Province and Bishop of Osun North Diocese, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Reverend Abiodun Olaoye, has reminded members of the church of Oba Moses Oyinlola Memorial Anglican Church (OMOMAC), Osun North Diocese to worship, praise, and appreciate God for His benevolence. The Archbishop disclosed this at the 10th anniversary of OMOMAC.
Speaking on the topic: “Appreciating God For His Goodness,” taken from Psalm 103:1-5, Olaoye appreciated the founding fathers of the church and everyone that has contributed to the growth and development of the parish.
