God’s Richest Blessings

Hello all, here is a copy of the thank you letter from Sing Australia…

Dear David,

It was a delight and privilege to meet you when we visited Merredin recently. I know that for some tour members it was a highlight of the tour and I am sure the Merredin people enjoyed it as much as we did.

Thank you David for your leadership of the service and also giving us an insight into your own faith journey – your personal touch was very inspiring to the Sing Australia members.

Merredin is very fortunate to have you as their Minister – you are an inspirational leader and a wonderful asset to Merredin and the surrounding district.

I am sure the event opened new doors for you in Merredin and this will be invaluable in your work in that community.

The remainder of the tour was a great success with many memorable nights of singing, dining and friendship with existing groups. We started a new group in Kalgoorlie. Our visits to schools in Wyalkatchem, Morowa and Mullewa touched the hearts of everyone in the group and these times were highlights of the tour.

Again, many thanks for the wonderful hospitality shown to us, it will long be remembered by all tour members.

Have a very Happy and Blessed Christmas,

Yours sincerely,

Colin Slater  OAM
National Director
