BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP

In 1928, according to Rev. Dr. Edward Reynolds, one Mr. W. Apeatu an elder of this Church, traveled to Europe. Whilst there, he was introduced to many church organizations including the Women’s fellowship.

He considered it a novelty and therefore studied it’s running thoroughly. On his return, he spoke loudly on it. The women at Christ Church decided to form one. With the support of the Rev. M.A.Adade, Mrs. Jane Awere,and Mrs. Anno Kwakye, all of blessed memory, brought together 30 women to begin the fellowship. Thus in 1930, the Fellowship was established with Mrs. Flora Apeatu as the President, and Mrs. Anno Kwakye as vice President. Other officers included Mrs. Jane Awere as Treasurer and Madam Yaago as secretary. Very interestingly Mr.Apeatu was made the defacto organizing secretary.

Mr. Apeatu continued to sell the Women’s Fellowship idea to these friends who were Rev. Ministers. Through his instrumentality not only did the fellowship at Akropong grew but branches were opened in several congregations in the Presbyterian Church.

Women’s fellowship could be seen all over the country due to the effort of one man. Our forebears have contributed their best in making the P.C. G. as it is today. This should spur us on to do the best we can, now that we have the strength.

From 1930, the Fellowship had some problems, which slacked her growth for some years. However on May 9 2004,Christ Presby Women’s Fellowship celebrated her 70 years existence despite the initial problems.
