Don't bring anything that could get ripped off. Those who went last year remember what happened.

May 2 - Sunday Evening

Concert
We are delighted to be able to invite you to a special concert at the Steinbach EMB Church on Sunday, May 2nd featuring the band, Down Here. Down Here is a group that originates from Briercrest Bible College. Those of you who had the opportunity to attend Youth Quake this past February may remember them performing during one of the evening sessions. Here a brief bio of the group:

Down Here
Rarely has a gift captured the hearts and ears of their listeners as has been experienced by those who have listened to Marc Martel and Jason Germain. The combination of the depth in their lyrics combined with unforgettable melodies and edgy instrumentation makes you come back for more. Working closely in their 5-piece band, Marc and Jason deliver a compelling performance that begs for a closer listen. Both of the frontmen craft their lyric-driven songs from deep convictions and experiences. The diversity of their musical talents make them both feel at home on the mic and behind a piano or guitar. The sincerity of their hearts is unmistakable as you listen to their original and powerful offerings. Between the two, they come with many live performance experiences as well as a host of worship band venues. Their gifts were quickly recognized at college, where they became known as the artists who deserved a listen. As a record label, we heartily endorse the abilities of Down Here, and strongly believe that they will be used by God to further His kingdom. We hope you enjoy the listen.

The concert will begin at 7:00pm and is open to everyone. An admission fee of $3/person will be taken at the door.

You also may be interested to know that the group has some songs in MP3 format on the Internet at
www.slyngshot.com ( they sound somewhat like Jars of Clay ).

May 5 - Wednesday

Bible Study
Tonight we'll once again crack our Bibles to discuss stress. This is one of the last Bible Studies left before the end of school so don't miss it!

May 12 - Wednesday

Cross Town Tag!
Put on those running shoes, grab your inhalers and get ready to run, run, run,run, run! We're going to find out for sure if you are witty enough to outsmart the wiley sponsors. It's a battle of the minds, an engagement of gargantuan proportion, the ultimate combat between... oh, ah, excuse me, I tend to get too excited sometimes. Be at the church at 7:00pm. I hope you don't mind getting wet?!?

May 19 - Wednesday

Bible Study Night
Hopefully it'll be nice enough to have our study outside tonight. If so we may just follow it up with a fire so we can roast marshmallows.
BYOBOIDKA!
