As Kenyan Anglican Churches in New England we would like to thank the leadership of St.Stephen Church Lowell for hosting this year 2017 music festival .{Videos}
We also want to thank them for their generous support that made our NEW ENGLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL 2017 a huge success.
A big thank you to several people who contributed to the success of our festival
This include all the Priests in attendance,The M/C Sam Mbugua aka Big Mbugua,Host,Ven Samuel Kimohu vicar St Stephens Church Lowell.
All the Choirmasters and Choir mistresses, adjudicator Mr Isaac Kangethe and Score Keeper Mr Gilbert Wanyoike,all the media, participating churches, just to mention a few
What about all the volunteers who helped in planning and managing the festival we say a big thank you.
Although not all the churches that brought home the championship trophy,we all know that all participating churches benefitted in countless ways from the festival.
By our churches participating they exposed themselves to a high level of competition which boosted their confidence to compete in future festivals.
Through this competitions our churches are bound together in the spirit of love as well as peace.
This is one of the many values that human beings do not share with animals.
This competitions helps us to reveal our unspoken desires and our humanity.
The festivals unites us from our different Anglican Churches,we take this event as a force to unite us together as a community.
Yes one thing that every one can agree with me about this year’s festival is that it was one of the best and the performances were of top quality
Regardless of the way you see things you have to admit that this year’s festival was one of the best.
Every thing worked out perfectly as a result of hard word and team work.
Brothers and sisters remember music is one of the values in human beings that you cannot ignore. It gives vitals to human society and not forgetting that music makes us feel proud of our home Kenya.
We do not want to forget our Sunday School kids who did not only memorize the words in those memory verses Psalms 122:1-9 and songs but they also learnt the vocabularies and pronunciations of those words.
Some words were incredibly difficult to pronounce but our kids really tried.
And finally I would like to say a huge thank you to every one in our Kenyan Community in New England who offered Support and encouragement to us .
May our good Lord Bless you all.
