HAMLETT-ISOM MUSIC MINISTRY CELEBRATES 57th CHOIR ANNIVERSARY

Hamlett-Isom C.M.E. Church, 5446 West Division Street, celebrated two milestones in late August: the welcoming of Reverend Eduardo Spragg as their new Pastor, and the 57th Choir Anniversary. Reverend Spragg brings an exceptional teaching and preaching background from his position as Presiding Elder of the Southeast Missouri, Illinois, and Wisconsin Episcopal District of the C.M.E. Church. In addition, Reverend Spragg has served for 23 years as a Chaplain in the U.S. Armed Services. He carried God’s Word as a missionary in countries around the world.

Coinciding with the arrival of Pastor Spragg to Hamlett-Isom C.M.E. Church was the congregation’s celebration of its Music Ministry under the leadership of Minister Francis Haggins, and the 57th Anniversary of the church choir, under the direction of Shirwan Dye, with organist Louis Marshall and percussionist Randell Montgomery. Guest churches at the anniversary celebration were: Jubilee C.M.E. Church, St. Andrew’s M.B. Church, and Bray Temple C.M.E. Church.
