CMBC To Send Out Departing Missionaries By Francine Fulton
On Sunday, June 30, Calvary Monument Bible Church (CMBC), 1660 Mine Road, Paradise, will hold a commissioning ceremony and a farewell reception for the Adomako family, who will depart for mission work in Ghana with Love in Christ Global Missions. Emmanuel and Alice Adomako and their children, Eugene, Jayden and Jeanette, will depart for West Africa on Sunday, July 7. The Sunday service at CMBC will begin at 9 a.m., followed by Sunday school and Adult Bible Fellowship at 10:30 a.m. The reception for the Adomakos will be held at 11:30 a.m. in the church’s fellowship hall. Light refreshments will be served. “That Sunday will be the day that I preach my last sermon (at CMBC), and that same Sunday my family will be commissioned and sent off officially as
missionaries from CMBC to Ghana,” Emmanuel explained, adding that he will also be ordained at CMBC on June 30 after serving the church as a ministry intern. Emmanuel, a graduate of Lancaster Bible College (LBC), will utilize his education at LBC to train and equip pastors and leaders in Ghana. Since he has developed a working relationship with LBC’s Capital Seminary & Graduate School, he will be able to offer LBCsanctioned and accredited Bible training at the Love in Christ Global Missions ministry center. In addition, Alice will use her nursing degree to provide medical care and medical training in Ghana, while also sharing the Gospel message. Finally, the couple will focus on educational programs for children living in Ghana. For Emmanuel and Alice, the upcoming move is actually a return home, since the couple is originally from See Missionaries pg 7

The hugs started almost as soon as the members of Vocal Harmonix gathered at Lancaster Church of the Brethren, 1601 Sunset Ave., Lancaster, for a rehearsal on June 10. One woman had recently received a cancer diagnosis.
Another had returned from traveling. Yet another had had surgery. Whether the reason was positive or upsetting, the embraces abounded. “We’re a very caring group,” one member explained after the rehearsal concluded, again with hugs, this time for the group’s newest member, who See Vocal Harmonix pg 11
