                CELEBRATION SINGERS OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize the Celebration 
Singers of Central Arkansas, who will be performing this weekend at the 
National Cathedral in Washington, DC, as the feature choir for the 2010 
Nation's Capital Festival of Youth Choirs. This group of 60 young 
singers from Sherwood and North Little Rock represent the best of 
Arkansas, and I am pleased that they will be able to share their 
talents at this special performance.
  The Celebration Singers Choir is an award-winning choir comprised of 
students in 6th through 12th grade, and serves as the premier worship 
choir for the Student Ministry at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in 
Sherwood, AR.
  In addition to singing at Sunday worship services throughout the 
year, the choir takes an extensive mission tour every other summer as 
they share God's love through music and fellowship with people in other 
churches, nursing homes, retirement centers and various shelters that 
assist people in crisis and other needs.
  Under the leadership of conductor Eddie W. Airheart, the choir has 
performed across the United States, including at the Cathedral of St. 
John the Divine, New York's Battery Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and 
the United States Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, MD. The choir has 
also performed across Central Arkansas at The Cathedral of St. Andrew, 
First Presbyterian Church, and St. James United Methodist Church.
  I commend these young people for their dedication to serving others 
through music and worship.
