*4 Days to Go! Anticipation Mounts for the 3rd Session of the Ninth Synod*

The banners are unfurled, the preparatory prayers are ascending, and the countdown has officially reached its final stretches. In exactly four days, the clergy, delegates, and the entire faithful community of the Diocese of Ibadan South (Anglican Communion) will gather for a monumental spiritual assembly: the 3rd Session of the Ninth Synod.

Our guiding anchor for this year's convocation is profoundly clear and timely: "*THE COMFORT OF THE ROD AND THE STAFF*" (Psalm 23:4c).

In a world filled with shifting terrains and economic valleys, we are being drawn back to a profound truth; God’s sovereign authority (the Rod) protects us, and His pastoral guidance (the Staff) sustains us. This Synod promises to be a sanctuary of deep spiritual alignment, where refreshing instruction meets divine peace.

Essential Tracks of Engagement:
Spiritual Fortification: Immerse yourself in targeted revival hours, word expositions, and intercessory altars.
Administrative Clarity: Syncing our macro-parochial reports and community-building goals for the next ecclesiastical year.
Comprehensive Media Streaming: For our wider diocesan community operating across Lagos, Ibadan, and globally, the Media Directorate is fully deployed to broadcast every visual frame and sermon live.

Your Spiritual Action Plan for Today:
Intercede: Pray specifically for our Diocesan Bishop, the Synod preachers, and the logistics units managing arrivals.
Review: Delegates, double-check that your parish briefs and document portfolios are structurally complete.
Engage: Broadcast this flyer across your personal networks to alert the global body of Christ.

The Shepherd is leading. The flock is gathering. In four days, we step into a season of ultimate comfort.

THE GLORIOUS TRANSITION OF A FAITHFUL SHEPHERD

“Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Lord.”— Matthew 25:23

With total submission to the sovereign will of Almighty God, the Bishop of the Diocese of Ibadan South, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), announces the peaceful transition into eternal glory of our beloved father in God and tireless labourer in the Lord’s vineyard:

VEN. OLUWAFEMI OLANIYI POPOOLA

He was a devoted servant of the Cross, a shining light, and a faithful shepherd who dedicated his life to the growth of the Church and the spiritual edification of God’s people.

Though our hearts are heavy with this great loss, we are comforted by the assurance that he fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. We loved him dearly, but God loved him more and has called him home to his eternal reward.
