ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - APG Soldiers, civilians, Family members and guests, marked the coming of Easter with a sunrise service at the post chapel April 20. Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Jerry Owens, Garrison chaplain, hosted the celebration aided by Choir Director Lee Ann Masters. The choir delivered a series of songs with narratives mixed in that took listeners through the crucifixion and resurrection.
Owens emphasized the work that went into the presentation and praised Masters, choir members and volunteers.
"Lee Ann [Masters] is amazing and our volunteers are tireless," he said.
Masters, a former Baltimore County music teacher, said she came out to sing with the choir 25 years ago at the invitation of a former mentor and she's been at it ever since. The choir director for 15 years, she said she feels honored to work with the choir members. "I am so blessed and privileged to stand in front of this group. They sing for the Lord and that's why they sound like they do," she said. "I consider each and every one of them a friend."
A breakfast of eggs, sausage, home fries, grits, yogurt, fresh fruit and other refreshments followed in the chapel fellowship hall.
