any man doeth, the same shall be received of The Lord. Carrie Mae not only
sang praises to her Lord, she servedfaithfully on
The Usher Board, Missionary Society, Mother's Board, and was President of
The Prayer Band for over thirty years. Carrie sang with the Female

Carrie Mae sang with The Hankinson Chorus until her health started to
fail. She was not ashamed to praise the Name of Him who
Saved her from her sins. Whenever and wherever her spiritual cup ran over,
she would speak of her happy soul. She was a true prayer and praise
warrior, and dedicated a lot of time to visiting and praying for the sick
and shut-in.
