The Singing Stars anniversary event on Sunday was a success due to all of the groups and choirs that who came out and took part, and because of all of our friends that showed up.

May God bless all of you for your kindness shown. We appreciate all of you.

Thought for the Week: I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great of a burden to bear, a loving heart is the truest wisdom.
