SQ Places 12th at 2007 NQC Talent Contest, Performs in Showcase

Sanctuary Quartet participated in the talent contest (group division) at the 2007 National Quartet Convention and placed 12th overall, improving from 20th last year. Every participating group was very talented, and we enjoyed listening to all the groups as much as the big evening concerts. We also had the honor of performing in the Open Door Showcase at the Executive Inn ballroom. We appreciate this opportunity to be a part of the great ministry of NQC. To the new folks we met, we hope to hear from you soon, but if not, we'll see you again next year, Lord willing! To those who prayed for us, encouraged us, and supported us, we thank you deeply. Our utmost thanks and praise goes to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, for we are nothing apart from Him.
