I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to our council president, Rosemary, for her tireless efforts in ensuring the smooth operations and services at SOH. In this challenging period, with no pastor and with the absence of our previous spiritual leader, Rosemary has gone above and beyond her call of duty to serve our community.

Rosemary's commitment to our congregation has been truly remarkable. She has worked tirelessly to ensure everything is ready for our services, attending to every detail with meticulous care. Her dedication and determination have been truly inspiring, and she has consistently demonstrated her ability to overcome obstacles with grace and resourcefulness.

Her commitment to serving at SOH has not gone unnoticed. Despite the demanding responsibilities that come with her position, Rosemary consistently puts the needs of our community before her own. She has displayed an extraordinary level of selflessness and dedication to our well-being, and we are fortunate to have her as our council president.

I want to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to Rosemary for her unwavering support and commitment. Her willingness to go above and beyond in her service has not only made a difference in SOH but has also strengthened our sense of community and unity.

Thank you, Rosemary, for your exceptional leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to serving at SOH. Your hard work, passion, and unwavering spirit are truly commendable. We are fortunate to have you as our council president, and we look forward to your continued guidance and leadership.
