This post is to acknowledge and thank everyone who put in their all for this night:

for the love poured out,
the effort put in,

God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit.

We praise Your Name
and pray that Your Name was praised last night.
We have received many reviews,
but we pray that the night of 25 December 2010
was acceptable to You.
Forgive us if we forgot our audience of one.
