Parents' day 2014

Dear all,

As Parents' day is approaching, Ms Ah Niong invited us to share the joy of singing "Honour your parents" together with the adult choir. Since the song is rather old, there is no English translation. Therefore, those attending are expected to sing in Chinese.

Rehearsals will be on Thursdays at 1930 at CCF RH.

Participation is optional. Thank you.

God bless,

Your humble servant
