DESCRIPTION
This is the current logo and colours of the Presbytery Church of Ghana Choirs’ Union
(PCGCU). As displayed, at the apex of the triangle is the Church’s logo, which shows our
association with the mother Church. Below the Church logo is a staff notation with “Sing
Praises” which is the greeting of the Union. The outer circle bears the name of our Church,
“Presbyterian Church of Ghana” at the top with “Choirs’ Union” at the bottom.
MEANING
The name “Presbyterian Church of Ghana Choirs’ Union” (PCGCU) represents the National
Union hence it comes first before your Presbytery or District. For us in Europe, the correct
name to be used is “Presbyterian Church of Ghana Choirs’ Union – Europe Presbytery”.
The greeting “SING PRAISES” goes for every chorister. The full greetings or salutation to be
taken at a go, for the Church Choir is as follows:
Greeting Response
SING ………………. PRAISES
SING PRAISES ……………… TO GOD
SING PRAISES TO GOD …………… AMEN
The staff notation indicates that we are a singing group or a musically oriented associated in
the Church.
