In what promises to be a spiritually uplifting and historic gathering, Celestial Church of Christ Covenant of God Parish, London is set to host a grand Thanksgiving Service in honour of Venerable Superior Evangelist John Maforikan.
The special service, scheduled to hold on Sunday, 19th April 2026, is expected to draw members, dignitaries, and well-wishers from across the United Kingdom and beyond, as the faithful gather in unity to celebrate the goodness and faithfulness of God.
More than just a routine thanksgiving, the event marks a significant milestone in the life of the Church. It will feature the formal celebration of the appointment of VSE John Maforikan as the Regional Head, alongside the elevation of CCC Covenant of God Parish to the status of Regional Headquarters of the South-East Region of London.
This dual honour underscores not only the spiritual growth of the Parish but also its increasing relevance and leadership within the Celestial Church of Christ in the diaspora. The recognition is widely seen as a testament to the dedication, commitment, and exemplary leadership demonstrated by VSE Maforikan over the years.
Speaking ahead of the event, members of the Parish expressed deep gratitude to God for what they described as “a season of divine favour and uncommon elevation.” They noted that the Thanksgiving Service would serve as an opportunity to reflect on God’s faithfulness, while also committing the new leadership responsibilities into His hands.
The service will feature powerful worship sessions, prophetic ministrations, and heartfelt thanksgiving offerings, all aimed at glorifying God and acknowledging His hand in the life of the Church and its leadership.
