Theme : The Greatness Of God
Speaker : Kelsey Appiah

Brave, courageous, concise and authoritative. These are just some of the words to describe Kelsey's message. There is more too, for her closing statament; "God is great and has always been!" How's that for an introduction to a good sermon by a nine year old child?

This sermon by Kelsey was part of the day's programme by the children of the Church celebrating the theme: "The Greatness Of God." They managed the Sabbath School and the Divine Service.
