Steve Owiti Says
May I also take this opportunity to congratulate Fr. Nyawir on his long desired ordination. I am impressed at the energy that this issue has generated. As a laity l wanna keep off this debate coz of personal reasons, if anything whatever their doctrines are they would fit me better do l say.Enough of this brethrens, next year we gotta CELEBRATE the 25years of the Fish.Can we say how,where and with whom we wanna celebrate this?FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Magazine for that celebration to be edited by Dr Ogongo Steve a seasoned journalist.
Cultural week to be organised by Poet Ambassa (Jere Maduong),Orido, Akwany,Kodhek etc
Sports week with finals on the Easter monday Old members vs the newmembers
Fundraising without involving the wazungus this time for the fete organised by Jere, Lwanga, Steve Owiti, Annes,all our clergy(Fish)and many others.
Identify the rest and say where you wanna be!My dream for that day is one that will surpass the ordination that happened last sato.Good week .
