that.

moving to the next level in your songwriting.

Antoinette Mays will offer instruction on the role
and responsibilities of ushers from the Biblical
prospective. Vital information relative to ministry
at the local level and also working with the
National GMWA organization will be given.
New Music – Kaye Bates will again coordinate
this TMC favorite. If you have a song to present,
please contact Kaye at [email protected].
Who’s Singing in Texarkana? Texarkana Chapter Longview Chapter Golden Triangle Chapter Houston Chapter If there are others planning to sing, let us know We will continue with our efforts to be a blessing in the areas that host our TMC
Sessions by donating non-perishable food items to the Bible Way Ministries in
Texarkana.
This organization offers assistance by providing groceries as well as prepared
meals to those in need.
In 2010 your efforts helped to provide needed food and items for three charitable
organizations. Let’s continue sharing and caring. Everybody is asked to bring
your items and turn them in at the Public Relations table.
