Make A Wish Foundation Concert Tonight

Two weeks ago CSF was approached by a High School girl who was in a bit of a crisis. She had been planning a benefit concert for The Make A Wish Foundation in honor of her friend who had passed away a few months earlier. She had contacted a few Christian Bands and asked them if they would be willing to play at the concert. They said yes. She then contacted the local Christian radio station and they were excited to support her through advertising and would even do a live remote on site at the concert. She had also contacted a church to see if they would host it. They agreed.

All seemed to be going well until normal conflicts came up and the church could no longer host, the radio station made other plans and one band decided not to come. This was the crisis that we were asked if we could help with and let her have the concert here at CSF. We said yes.....and the place would be free of charge.

Also, our worship leader KC Clark, contacted his band the Offering and asked if they would be willing to play in place of one of the bands that could no longer come. His band said Yes! So, tonight, with about 14 days notice CSF will be hosting a benefit concert for this worthy cause. Our staff and volunteers and put in extra time and have worked hard to make this event happen for this great high school student and this wonderful cause.

If you are looking for something fun to do tonight.......grab a friend and come to this concert. The Offering, Story-Side B, Mono-Stereo and Daniel James. Tickets are $10 a piece and all proceeds go to the Make A Wish Foundation. When they were thinking this concert would not happen, many advertisers back out. So....please send this BLOG around to as many people you know who may enjoy a great night like this! Doors open 6pm!

Todays Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians Chapter 11.

Have you ever felt like you have given and given and given and yet people do not appreciate you for what you have done? They even complain about what you have done with no regard for the personal sacrifices you have made or the time you have invested. Your good is never good enough for some people? If you have ever felt like that.....that is what Paul is expressing in this chapter.

As people who serve and help other people, we should be prepared that many people will never say thanks and will always wonder why you did not do more or something different. Paul was doing all he could and yet the church at Corinth did not appreciate it. Moreover, what really got Paul going was that the people were falling for false teachers because the false teachers were doing what the people wanted...not what they needed.
