Love and Aid

The Channel, the music venue where Jennie and I volunteer, is holding a benefit concert for Haiti this Thursday night. Come out, enjoy some great music and support those who need it most right now. 100% of the proceeds from concert and merch sales will go to help. This is going to be an amazing night - don't miss it! I took the rest of the copy off of the Rice Bowls web site. Rice Bowls is an incredible organization - please check out their web site to learn more.

Rice Bowls, an Upstate ministry to overseas orphanages, invites you to Walls: A Haiti Benefit Concert. This will be an evening of worship with musicians Lee McDerment, David Walker, and Josh Ridings.
