Ekohotblog reports that the prestigious Epe Club held a grand Carol Service on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at its clubhouse, T-Junction, Epe, as part of activities marking its 50th anniversary and the forthcoming Christmas celebrations.
The event featured soul-lifting musical performances by choirs from St. Michael Anglican Church, Epe; Immaculate Catholic Church, Ibonwon; and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Epe. The choirs rendered various praise and worship songs, while ministers of God delivered Bible readings centered on the birth of Jesus Christ.
Reverend Onifade of St. Michael Anglican Church delivered the only exhortation of the event, titled “Joy to the World.” He emphasized the significance of Christ’s birth as a source of eternal joy, urging attendees to embrace Jesus as the ultimate source of true happiness.
“For anyone that desires real joy, he must recognize that Jesus Christ is the source of genuine, everlasting joy,” Reverend Onifade declared. “No matter the situations in life, we must remain joyous and glorify the Lord, who remains the solution to the world’s problems.”
Clergymen in attendance offered prayers for the continued growth and success of Epe Club and its members, including its president, Hon. Engr. Adebola Rasheed Shabi. They commended the club for acknowledging God as its foundation over the past five decades.

He called on the youths of Epe Division to join the club and contribute to the region’s development.
“Epe Club offers a unique platform for vibrant youths who are ready to make an impact. I urge them to seize the opportunity and become part of this esteemed organization.”
Mr. Abimbola Olanrewaju (Bobtanner), another club member, echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the club’s significant contributions to Epe’s growth across various sectors over the years. He also extended Christmas and New Year greetings to Christian faithful.
