The organisers of 50th anniversary of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church (Worshippers) have called on Christians across Nigeria to emulate the love of Jesus Christ by living in oneness and love.

Speaking during the novelty match and free medical outreach of the church to mark its golden jubilee,  themed: ‘Honouring God for the past, embracing the future’, Chairman of the 50th anniversary planning committee, Senior Apostle Oluwafemi Awoyemi, while thanking God for His faithfulness, said, “It’s a journey of 50 years, and for a spiritual family, God has kept us together. It is natural for us to celebrate God’s faithfulness upon our lives. We started by the beach front and today, we have 21 parishes across the nation and even outside Nigeria. So it’s an indication of how God has been good to us.

“We want to be sure that our aging community are taken care of, secondly,  because of societal pressure as a faith-based community, we do not undermine regular medical checkup and on the sport, we just want to gather and have fun as one family.” 

He further urged Christians to go back to the basics of love that Jesus preached.

“Christ emphasized it, that they maybe one, living together in oneness. For all churches I would advice that they increase the bonding.”
