According to members of the Gospel Choir from Sacred Heart Parish, Trenton, they have much to be thankful for, and the best way for them to get their message across was to host a concert.

Under the direction of Rupert E.Z. Peters, the concert, which had as its theme, "Give Thanks" provided the opportunity for the choir to thank Peters for his 14 years of service to the choir. 

The concert was also a time for the members to acknowledge those members who have been part of the music ministry since the choir was formed more than 50 years ago, and the concert also marked the first time the Gospel choir sang in the sanctuary of Holy Cross Church since the choir became part of Sacred Heart Parish.
