Rev. Richard Kwehangana, the parish priest of Rwanyanja Church of Uganda, urged Christians to always thank God for the great things He does in their lives. He made this remark during yesterday’s Thanksgiving service for Venerable Enock Karamuzi, the Archdeacon of Nyabitete Archdeaconry, who was giving thanks for completing one year of service in this role.
Rev. Kwehangana pointed out that many people only remember to thank God during times of trouble, but once they are relieved, they forget to express gratitude. He emphasized that it was fitting and just for Venerable Karamuzi to thank God for His grace in completing a year of service.
Venerable Karamuzi reflected on his 33 years of service, during which he has experienced both good and challenging times but has remained dedicated to God. He shared that, one year after his ordination, he was appointed to work in the Bishop’s office, where he served for 18 years before being appointed as the Archdeacon of Nyabitete Archdeaconry last year. He acknowledged that despite the challenges he has faced, God’s presence has been constant, making it necessary for him to give thanks.
Additionally, Karamuzi mentioned that he organized the event to raise funds for the ongoing construction of the church.
Topher Kambenawe, the Head of Development at Nyabitete Archdeaconry, praised Venerable Karamuzi for his development-focused leadership. He highlighted that after taking office, Karamuzi continued the construction of the archdeaconry church. The project, which began in 2022, requires 970 iron sheets, and over 700 sheets have already been procured.
As the guest of honor, Mr. Boaz Ruteera, a prominent farmer from Bugangari, encouraged the congregation to embrace agriculture, particularly through value addition. He urged Christians to take up coffee farming as a way to combat poverty and improve their living standards.
