Ven. CCN and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogbonna, are set to be honoured at a Retirement Send-Off Service following 40 years of dedicated service in the Lord’s vineyard within the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Diocese of Aba.
The special retirement celebration will hold on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at Trinity Anglican Church, FHE Ogbor-Hill, Aba, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
The milestone represents four decades of God’s faithfulness, unmerited favour, growth and grace, marking a remarkable journey of commitment to the church, spiritual leadership and service to humanity.
The celebrant’s 40 years of service encompasses 30 years in the ordained priesthood and 20 years of faithful leadership as an Archdeacon.
Over the years, Ven. CCN has served in several significant ecclesiastical and ecumenical capacities, contributing to Christian leadership and interdenominational collaboration within Aba and Abia State.
Among the notable positions held are Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Aba Zone; CAN State Treasurer; and Chairman of the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN), a position held for 12 years.
The retirement send-off service will provide an opportunity for the church, clergy, family members, friends and well-wishers to celebrate the couple and give thanks to God for His sustaining grace throughout the years of service.
The occasion is expected to be a moment of thanksgiving, honour and reflection on a journey defined by faith, dedication and commitment to the work of God.
The public, friends, colleagues and well-wishers are warmly invited to attend the special service and honour Ven. CCN and Mrs. Elizabeth Ogbonna on this remarkable milestone.
