The choral group, which currently has over 600 sub-groups across the country, held their thanksgiving function at Namirembe Christian Fellowship, where they were founded (four decades ago) by the Church's lead pastor, Prof. Simeon Kayiwa. The function was graced by hundreds of Born-again Christians and friends of the Church.

 

Various speakers praised Pastor Simeon Kayiwa and the Calvary Cross Choir for their dynamic music ministry, which they said had helped many people to turn to God.

Paul Ssenkole, one of the Christians testified: "The music of Calvary Cross Choir is unique. The acapella properties in their songs enhance the clarity of their respective messages. Many people have assimilated the messages in the songs and consequently given their life to Christ."

Prof. Simeon Kayiwa thanked the Calvary Cross choristers for their commitment to the Church's musical ministry and encouraged them to preach the gospel with even greater zeal.

During the three-day celebration, members of the Calvary Cross choir from across the country ministered to the congregation alongside other visiting choirs, which included the Golden Gate Choir among others.
