President John Mahama participated in the maiden National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service held at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) on Sunday, January 12.
The event was attended by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as well as members of the general public.
Clergy members were also present and offered prayers for the new president, seeking divine intervention to guide him in governing the country wisely.
The colourful event featured performances by gospel artistes and musical groups.
This service follows a similar event held with the Muslim community on Friday, January 10.
The National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service is an initiative promised by President Mahama, which will be held annually as a means of thanking God for the lives of the people of Ghana and for giving him the opportunity to serve as president once more.
