11, 2003 Press Release</div> <bR> <div> AQUANNETTE CHINNERY SINGS AT GOSPEL MUSIC AWARDS GALA</div> <bR> <div>      Although Aquannette Chinnery, Judy Mowatt, Richie Stephens, George Banton, and other nominees in both the Top Gospel CD International and Top Gospel International Song of the Year categories for the 3rd Annual Hopeton Lewis Caribbean Gospel Music Awards did not win, Aquannette was happy to see one of her favorite Caribbean gospel groups, the Grace Thrillers, a group that has been around for more than 30 years, win in the two categories for which she was nominated.  Chinnery said, "I had a great time singing at the awards ceremony and meeting and networking with fellow nominees such as Judy Mowatt and Richie Stephens, both of whom were also guest artists at the well attended gala awards ceremony and banquet."  While in New York, Aquannette also sang at the Redeemed Christian Church of God International Chapel, with its primarily African congregation, and sang by special invitation from Hopeton Lewis at a concert at the Russell Sage First Presbyterian Church with Hopeton Lewis, Claudelle Clark, and a couple of other artists from the awards show.</div> <bR> <div>      She said, "As gospel artists we don't focus on it being a competition but an opportunity to do our part to serve God.  Everyone was very supportive of each other's music ministries."</div>
