Many thanks to the choir and director, Lisa Troutman, from First United Methodist Choir in China Grove for singing at the celebration service at South China Grove United Methodist Church on Oct. 8.

The music chosen was a great selection that fit the service perfectly. Lisa grew up in South China Grove UMC.

Also, a special thanks to the Rev. Mike Goode, pastor, and the congregation of First UMC for giving up their outstanding choir for one Sunday.  Thanks also to the congregation of South China Grove United Methodist Church for presenting me with a plaque in appreciation of nine years of service at their church.
