  2. Notes from the Pastor Grace and Peace, Look how far God has brought us! We are moving in the right direction and for that I am grateful. Being lead by the Holy Spirit, we have celebrated 10 years in ministry, as well as traveled once again. Moreover, we did it all with no debt, for that we give God praise! We will continue to be obedient to the voice of God in all that we do. SONGS OF SOLOMON IS GOOD GROUND! Songs has helped hundreds of children and families since the day it was born and we must continue to be a help. Unfortunately, we have a member of the body for the first time and we can all rest assured that he achieved the two goals of this ministry, we endeavor to see each child get into Heaven and into College. The scope has broadened however, now you have to finish college ! We can no longer waste the resources and favor that God has granted us. Lastly , we must strive to live the lives that we sing about in our songs. HOLINESS, without which no man will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14) I believe God that in this season we will experience the greatest outpouring of His power that we have ever seen! I pray that your journey is in alignment with ours so that men may be drawn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. With Love Pastor Chantel Wright
