Kiev Symphony Orchestra and Chorus

In Concert at The Chapel

In recent months, Music Mission Kiev has added a significant out-reach to victims of war who are experiencing foreign invasion, vio-lence and war in Ukraine. The Lord has also continued to bless MMK widow, orphan and evangelistic ministries at a time when Kyiv streets have been bathed in blood. We are called “for such a time as this.” Wes and Kim Janzen, along with 42 incredible musicians from the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (KSOC) – the musical arm of MMK - will share a powerful acoustic, classical, sacred concert including stories of God’s grace, at The Chapel, at 5:00 p. m. on Sun-day, October 4th. Please mark your calendars.

WELCOME

Big Canoe Chapel welcomes Sam Holmes back home as Chapel Pianist, after a two-year teaching opportunity out West. Sam has returned to Atlanta to pursue a Ph.D in Teaching and Learning at Georgia State University, where he also has a Teaching Assistance role. Sam's re-search will, of course, focus on music. Sam returns as pianist, after having played here for 12 years. We welcome Sam and are glad he has returned "home."

Christian Believer Bible study will resume on Wednesday, September 16 at 4:30pm. All are welcome. The study will begin with, “The Body of Christ in the World.” For those with participant study manuals it is chapter 21. The Vespers Service will resume on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:00pm. This is a thirty minute service with singing, a brief devotional, and intercessory prayer.

Lewis will meet Tuesday, September 8 at 9:00am in the teen room. All men are invited. For more information contact Len Walker.
