THE United church in PNG launched its 40th
anniversary celebrations, an event to be
observed this year, at the Reverend Sione Kami
Memorial church last Saturday.
TWO police mobile squad units are in Western
province after a group of people claiming to be
landowners threatened to disturb work on Ok Tedi
Mining Limited’s waste pipeline.
Enlightened
souls... THE age of enlightenment is worth singing about and these
ladies from Vabukori village – a Motu-Koitabu hamlet in Port Moresby – were
only too eager to express their joy and appreciation through the traditional
Motuan Gospel songs called Peroveta. The occasion at the Sioni Kami United
Church at Boroko last Saturday, was to mark the 40th anniversary of the
church in Papua New Guinea. The guests of honour at the occasion included
Governor-General Sir Paulias and Lady Kaludia Matane and the the national
director of the Uniting International Mission Dr Kerry Erright. –
