Reverend Ayim highlighted that growth should not be aimless but rather directed towards righteousness. He reminded the audience that “we reap what we sow” and urged them to stay focused on their spiritual journey. This message was particularly relevant for the youth, who he encouraged to be mindful of their actions, as aging is an inevitable reality.
The Senior Citizens Sunday, observed by the Presbyterian Church, serves as a special occasion to honor and celebrate the elderly within the community. Reverend Ayim used this opportunity to stress the importance of caring for the aged as part of the Christian mission. He emphasized that the Christian community has a responsibility to look after widows and ensure they are not left behind.
He also addressed the congregation directly, urging them to take care of their parents, especially those who are elderly. “Do not neglect your parents in old age,” he said, reinforcing the biblical teaching that honoring one’s parents is a fundamental aspect of faith. This call to action was a reminder of the deep respect and care that should be extended to elders within the family and the broader community.

During the service, a special prayer was offered for the elderly members of the congregation who are 70 years of age and above. This act of intercession underscored the church’s commitment to supporting its senior members and ensuring they feel valued and cared for.
Reverend Ayim’s message was not only about personal growth but also about collective responsibility. He encouraged the congregation to see the care of the elderly as a mission, one that aligns with the teachings of Christ. By prioritizing compassion and service, the church can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all its members, regardless of age.
The service concluded with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication among the attendees. Many left feeling inspired to live out their faith more fully, both in their personal lives and in their interactions with others. The emphasis on ageing gracefully and caring for the elderly served as a powerful reminder that every stage of life holds significance and value.
As the Presbyterian Church continues to grow and evolve, the message delivered by Reverend Ayim reinforces the importance of maintaining a strong ethical foundation. It calls for a community that is not only focused on individual success but also on the well-being of its most vulnerable members. In doing so, the church can truly embody the principles of love, compassion, and service that are at the heart of Christianity.
