Spring Praise Concert
THANK YOU!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank God for everyone that had a part in making the Spring Praise Concert a success. All those who gave freely of their
time and talents to perform, to provide food, to move things when needed,
who sold and bought tickets and shirts, those who came and those who just
gave anything that was needed including encouragement to me.
Special thanks to Pastor Viv, Carol Gallentine, Barbara and Ken Ingra. God
bless you all and give to you as you have given. Thank you.
