Church Of Pentecost Adopts New Strategy For Communion Service Over Coronavirus

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Coronavirus seems not be shy of either the temple of God or “His Anointed”.

Coronavirus has succeeded in changing the modus operandi of the Church of Pentecost in Ghana.

But are you surprised though? Even the Pope was tested for Coronavirus.

The outbreak and fast-spreading coronavirus (COVID-19) has informed the decision by the leadership of the Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC), a local assembly of The Church of Pentecost in Koforidua in the Eastern region to adjust the process of serving communion.

Normally, during communion, the sacramental bread is put on a plate where members queue to hand pick in turns together with disposable cups filled with the communion wine.

However, this process was changed Sunday, March 1, 2020, when the District Minister, Pastor Musah Yahaya announced to the Church that due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in other countries, a decision has been taken to use toothpick to pick the Sacramental bread to the congregants whilst suspending handshakes.

He explained that, though Ghana has not recorded a case of coronavirus, it is imperative that proactive preventive measures are adhered to ensure that Ghana does not record any case.
