Isaac Addo Allotey Methodist Memorial Society honours veteran chorister

Mr Mike Similao received a citation for his dedicated service

Superintendent Minister of the Methodist Church-Taifa Circuit, Very Rev. Isaac Ishmael Arthur, has commended Mr. Mike Similao for his dedicated service to the Methodist Church choir.

The veteran chorister has provided a number of choir robes to the church. In appreciation of his kindness, the Isaac AddoAllotey Memorial Society of the church at Asofan in Accra showered praises on him at a ceremony in his honour recently.

“His gesture to the Methodist church is worthy of emulation and needs to be celebrated to encourage others to also help the church at their various circuits,” Rev. Arthur said.

According to the Superintendent Minister, Mr. Similao had served the Methodist church for decades and his love for the church and the choir had contributed significantly to the growth of many choirs in different circuits in Ghana.

Mr. Eric AnnorEchison, Choir Master of the Isaac AddoAllotey Memorial Society, also commended Mr. Similao for his donations to the church which helped the choir in accomplishing their mandates.

In an interview with The Spectator, Mr. Similao said it was his passion to serve the Lord through the act of giving since “the Holy Bible underscores that, there is more blessing in giving than receiving.”

The Veteran Chorister who is over 80 years of age and has served in the Methodist church since 1951 till date said he would continue to support the church with “whatever is being given to him by God.”

Mr. Similao has received some award for his unflinching support. His meritorious service earned him positions in the hierarchy of the choir as a Vice Choir Chairman of the Kpehe Circuit in the Greater Accra Region.

He admonished choristers to humble themselves in the discharge of their duties and give financial support for the growth of the choir.
