Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS), Onitsha, has held its 2026 Harvest Thanksgiving with the theme, “Harvest of Triumph in Christ.”

The event, held on Nov. 8, brought together the school’s management, parents, old boys and students to give thanks to God for His faithfulness and blessings.

Delivering the sermon, Rev. Uchechukwu Nnaemeka Uzegwu, an Anglican priest and old boy of the school who served as senior prefect during his student days, drew his message from 2 Corinthians 2:14.

He said that Christian victory came not through human strength but through the power of God, describing harvest as a season of blessings and thanksgiving.

Uzegwu noted that while people sow seeds, God gives the increase, adding that harvest was God’s doing and triumph remained certain through faith in Christ.

Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:6 and Psalm 126, he urged Christians to remain faithful, maintain a right relationship with God and continue to shine for Christ.

In his welcome address, the Principal, Rev. Chimezie Ogidi, thanked the school’s management, parents and old boys for their attendance and continued support.

The programme featured the presentation of awards of honour to selected parents in recognition of their contributions to the school, as well as the ceremonial cutting of the harvest cake.

Students from various classes and houses also presented their harvest offerings and expressed delight at the presence of their parents at the celebration.
