The Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi, Rt. Rev. Gaddie Akanjuna, has called upon Christians to dedicate their blessings to serving God, emphasizing the need to be guided by loyalty and gratitude. This message came during a thanksgiving service held for Natasha Nyonyozi, the reigning Miss Uganda, at St. John’s Kamuganguzi Church of Uganda Archdeaconry in Kamuganguzi Sub County, Kabale District.
