Hey Friends, check it out! We've got some pretty great shows coming up this Spring Break week. This Tuesday night we've got Righteous Vendetta, Day of Vengeance, Sound the Ruin, and Murderers,Thieves. 5 bucks to have some bands scream their hearts out for Jesus, what's better than that? We'll be in our usual spot at FUMC Bedford (1245 Bedford Rd. in Bedford, TX right on the NW corner of Bedford Rd. and Hwy. 183).
This week the Worship Lounge welcomes back Men As Trees Walking and Jerusalem. There's no charge at the door, but a donation to the bands and their ministries would be greatly appreciated. The show starts at 7pm in the Worship Lounge.
Ten Talents is praying for those who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and across the Pacific. To show our support, we will be raising money for the United Methodist Committee on Relief's Pacific Emergency Relief Fund. As relief efforts are under way, Ten Talents will keep you updated on other ways we can help the people of Japan. You will have opportunities to give at our shows in the month of March, but you can also go to UMCOR's website to give to this fund (ADVANCE# 3021317).
Last but certainly not least...So Charles came across the Facebook page for the documentary, Bleed Into One - The Story of Christian Rock. Are we the only ones since 2009 who haven't heard about this AMAZING hopefully soon-to-be released documentary (we're praying/crossing our fingers, toes, legs-probably because we just drank a Route44, and eyes)? Wow! is all I can say. If the movie is half as compelling as the four minute trailer on their site, this is going to be one awesome documentary. This is a story that really needs to be told not just to Christian music lovers, but also believers who may not understand what an impact Christian rock is making in the lives of people who may never have walked through the doors of a church. Please take a minute to check out the documentary trailer here.
It really puts into perspective why we at Ten Talents do what we do, and why we feel incredibly blessed to be able to provide a place where musicians and artists of all genres can come to share their faith in Christ through their art. Lets pray for those who are behind this movie, that nothing will stand in the way of telling this story. And lets pray for the musicians who travel each year to places all around the world to share the word of Christ through their music. Some of these bands spend tons of time away from their family and friends to not only entertain you but to also share their faith. They may go into secular venues where animosity and the temptations of the world may be staring them in the face constantly just to follow the mission God has placed in their hearts.The last place that these artists need to be torn down is in the church (watch the movie trailer to see what I'm talking about). Lets build each other up in support and love, instead of tearing our brothers and sisters down because we don't understand their music. And now I'm off my soapbox.
Have a great and safe (it's the mom in me saying that) Spring Break! Hopefully we'll see you at one of our shows this week!
Blessings!
