This is the first meeting of the women's association -the Helping Hand- after the summer vacation on Friday 19th of October 2018. We remembered our late sister Souad Amoun Chamsy who was our treasurer for 20 consecutive years. She will be greatly missed but we accept God's will with faith and thanksgiving. Then Mrs. Badr thanked Ms. Najah Magdalani for 10 years of faithful service as secretary of the Helping Hand. As the guest speaker in the meeting Rev. Badr took us on a musical journey through some of our hymns whose musical origins are well known secular tunes.
