“The A Team is known for its spot-on renditions of today’s biggest hits.”
Premier gives 'unequivocal support'
Meanwhile, Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) expressed his “unequivocal support” for the One VI Weekend.
“Certainly, I didn’t want anyone to get the concept or the notion in their mind that we see this as an event that competes against the event that the Tourist Board is putting on at all, quite the opposite. We see these events as being complimentary and building upon the success that we are establishing here in the Virgin Islands.”

Then you have a Happy Hour at the Pier again trying to be a part of both worlds when it’s obvious it’s more important for some to gain the favor of people than God.
God knows exactly who is trying to showcase Him just to appear to follow Him but are disobedient by following the world. Poker Run too, scantily dressed, secular music SMH.
Some may not be on the forefront to avoid backlash but people got sense to know better.
People have to realize not everything you think you get that seems like a blessing is from God. The devil looks after his followers too.
