Editor:

On behalf of the Beeville Vineyard, I would like to thank all those who participated in or contributed to the sweetest concert ever!

The choirs dedicated this April 17 event to the Glory of God and the memory of Ann Gartner.

Thanks to First Baptist Church and Pastor Greg Traylor for hosting this concert.

The music was so incredible as to bring tears to the eyes. Those who have not attended this annual event are missing an awesome performance.

Handbell choirs participating included First Baptist “Praising Hands” director Cymbre Bryant, First Presbyterian “Handbell Family” director Louanne LeBourveau, St. Philip’s Episcopal “St. Philidings” director Louise Mayberry and First United Methodist “The Ringing Word” director Carolyn Heizer. The trumpet of Dr. Al Past added to the majesty of the music.

Awesome desserts and refreshments were provided by the women and Mission Teams of the four participating churches and the Board of Directors and staff of the Beeville Vineyard.

Thanks to all for sharing your time, talent and treasure!

Bettye Hale

Executive Director, Beeville Vineyard
