He commended the confirmation candidates for their perseverance in reaching this milestone. He also thanked the godparents and parents for their devoted support throughout the candidates’ spiritual journey.
Turning to the newly built Lay Reader’s house, _Bishop Kagodo_commended the congregation for constructing a residence that honors God. “When a person builds a home for a servant of God, they are nurturing that servant’s spiritual life; therefore, I am greatly pleased,” he said.
The Bishop further urged them to continue safeguarding Church land diligently and to remain vigilant against land grabbers. _“ Christians, wherever you have been lenient, they have taken the land; therefore, guard it well and be vigilant,”_ he said.
In his sermon, under the theme " _Hope in Christ the promise keeper"_ Bishop Kagodo challenged believers on the question: _“ Why do we place our hope in God?”_ He reminded them that God alone is unchanging, the Worker of Miracles, and the One who has power to protect His people. “He knows the schemes of your enemies,” the Bishop said. He urged Christians to understand that the Lord deeply treasures the life He has redeemed.
He concluded by asking the Christians of Kituntu to maintain the new Church in a state of cleanliness and to establish a viable income-generating project that will sustain the Lord’s ministry.
