Allow me to introduce you to another local choir from Fredericksburg, Va., Donna Armstead Woolfolk and The Voices of the Gospel. They have been singing together for a little over twelve years now. Mrs. Woolfolk sang with several choirs before deciding to put together her own choir a few years ago. I was able to catch up with her for a quick interview.

33: Why Fredericksburg?

Donna:  I actually love Fredericksburg! [Donna has a lot of family here and believes that there are some wonderful people here.]

33: What is your inspiration?

Donna:  The Grace of God. [Donna loves togetherness and has a special love for Gospel music.] It’s worth it trying to reach that one person that needs to hear the message.

33: Do you have one goal for 2010?

Donna: To take our music ministry to a higher level while focusing on staying in the Will of God. [She would like to put more emphasis on getting closer to God and becoming a better musician.]

33: How would you encourage any other local group?

Donna: You have to love what you’re doing, love yourself and stay in God’s Word. [She also wants you to know that you have to practice…practice…practice!]

Donna is currently preparing her choir for a studio recording. We wish you much success with your upcoming endeavors.
