Speaking at the event, Mothers’ Union patron Mama Joy Twinomujuni thanked God for the outgoing leadership and commended them for their dedicated service, while also welcoming the newly elected team.
“We thank God for the outgoing leaders who have served diligently and faithfully,” she said.
Quoting 1 Peter 2:9, she added: “You are chosen to show the goodness of the Lord; serve with commitment and faith.”
Bishop Johnson congratulated the new leaders, noting that they assume office at a time when the diocese is experiencing positive progress.
“You are coming in at a time when there is a lot of good happening in the diocese. Build on what your predecessors have started,” he said.
He pledged the Church’s support to the new leadership.
“We pledge our full support to ensure that your leadership succeeds,” he added.
He further reminded them of their responsibility to the Church and the community, saying: “Leadership is service. The Church expects you to strengthen families and uphold Christian values.”
The newly elected leaders are expected to steer the unions’ activities aimed at strengthening family values and promoting Christian principles within the diocese.
