The group would like to first of all Thank the Lord our God for all the mercy, love and grace that He has shown us. We would also like to thank each of our parents for nurturing us in loving Christian homes. A special thank you goes out to Cliff and Betty Peninger. They are, and have been, the managers, treasurer and babysitters for all these years and that has been quite a job at times. We would also like to thank Ms. Avis Whittington for her endless support and following us to all the concerts that she can possibly attend. The early beginnings of the group started over 30 years ago when Cliff and Betty began to help train their daughters voices and encourage them to stand in front of an audience and sing. And though we have gone through many changes, we are more excited than ever that God has given us the desire to present the Word in song. Music is a large part of each of our lives and the group has been members of the 4States Gospel Music Association for the past 4 years. We love the Lord and our only desire is to spread the Word of God through song to as many people as we can. Romans 12:2(NIV) says, Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will. We believe that the music ministry is the will of God for our lives and our prayer is that we always be viewed as a peculiar people that exalts the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and that we never loose sight of Him and become conformed to the ways of this world.
