SHARING THE LIGHT OF LIFE IN BANNING


Saturday, February 15, 2014, the men and families of His Voice traveled into the Inland Empire's Pass to visit the Banning Adventist Church family at the intersection of Nicolet and 22nd Street. 
.
Director Michael Naluai directed the men of His Voice in the stately sanctuary as they joined together singing a new song, "I am the Light of the World:  He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, in darkness,  but he shall have the light of life . . ." 
.
The men's rich voices blended together as Jerry Albritton accompanied them on the piano.  This concert of new songs was grand and lifted up, dwelling on the faithfulness and ever present strength of an Almighty God .... listeners all around were silent as if entering into a quiet place filled with Grace. 
.
Following the worship service, His Voice joined the church members in a family potluck and enjoyed a delicious buffet. 
.
Below are a few photos from that morning.
