The True Word In Season, a group in the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) National Headquarters, Makoko, has unveiled its founder’s logo 40 years after his passing.

Unveiling the logo in Lagos on Thursday, the Shepherd in Charge, Afis Kiki, said that the event was to commemorate the 40th transition anniversary of the founder, Samuel Oshoffa.

Kiki said that the anniversary with the theme “Oshoffa the Sent, the Enigmatic Man”, would herald activities like 116 days testimony of the encounter and experience of the late founder on paper.

He also said that there would be a three-day prayer and praise, juvenile Bible test of knowledge in the tenent and doctrine of CCC and juvenile choir competition.

Similarly, the Convener of the event, Samuel Ademola, said that the church was planning a documentary on the lives and times of the founder.

Ademola said that the essence of the anniversary was about revealing the legacies of the founder to upcoming generations.

According to him, this is in order to bridge the gap between the present generation and upcoming generations and bring to the consciousness of the public the identity of the founder.

“We also expect the breeze of tension presently in the church to be curtailed after the 116 days testimony of the encounter and experience of the founder is shared with the flock as well as a high level of sanity and proper revamping of our minds in the right direction.’’

He added that the church was not fetish as being believed by some persons.
