Pastor Ituah Ighodalo Stages 2-Part Elegantly Simple 50th Birthday Celebration

Pastor Ituah Ighodalo has attained the golden age. And he signposted this development with a twofold celebration, that was strictly according to the tenets of his faith.

The pastor in charge of Christian ministry, Trinity House, marked the attainment with members of

his church and a some invited guest on Wednesday April 06 and Sunday 10, 2011.

April 6 was actually his birth date.

Trinity church goers claimed that a small reception cum service that was highlighted with a film showing sensitizing on the need for perseverance and faithfulness to one’s dream was staged at the Landmark, Victoria Island site of the ministry on that Wednesday.

A more elaborate version of the event- minus the film viewing – was held on Sunday April 10 2011.

From the hours of 10.a.m. till 3.oo p.m. Trinity House was host to heart lifting praise songs and soul searching sermons in the perfect environment fit for learning – a free flow ambience with inherent emphasis on decorum.

The eight hundred and fifty dinner setting capacity main hall was filled to capacity-with guests spilling over to the children hall and another.
