“To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.”           - Hopi Indian saying
When you “dance,” what does your heart say?

I thank the Lord for allowing us to start Praise TEAM 2010-2011 season peacefully.  I am so happy to see everyone back in the pattern of things.  We welcome the old and new PT family members and bid those who have moved on farewell.  Things will tend to go tougher but ever better than before.
And so when I see you dance or sing or play an instrument, my heart will be skipping for joy knowing that you are giving your Utmost for the specially designed talent that the Lord has blessed you.  Only you and God can perfectly understand this.                                                                                           <3 in Kairos
