Take your tears to God…

This weekend, our community at MVNU experienced tremendous loss…four people directly to our campus passed away. Both Todd and I were impacted because we have friendships with the families who lost loved ones.

So…what do we do with that grief? Author Amy Peterson shares her thoughts in this Monday Motivation devotional.

Signs, prayer and celebration!

Today we shared news about International Sign Language Day, See You at the Pole and WNZR’s anniversary.

First things first. Tonight, September 21 will see the return of See You At the Pole, but with a twist. This time, it will be Saw You at the Pole to promote social distancing. Invite your friends to join M.V.N.U.’s praised band and 3 other youth groups in praying for our nation. It starts at 7pm at the Mount Vernon City Square.

Next up we have our topic for Who Knew Wednesday. The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 23 September as the International Day of Sign Languages in order to raise awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of the human rights of people who are deaf. The theme for 2020 International Day of Sign languages is “Sign Languages Are for Everyone!”. Read more here!: https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/09/1073132

We had a stumper for our Who Knew Trivia Question today! We’ll be sure to bring it back next week!

Little Miracles!

Today for Artist Newsday we shared about Colton Dixon’s recent appearance on the season premiere of The Doctor’s with his wife Annie and their twin daughters, Dior and Athens. They shared the amazing story of their birth, read more about it by clicking here.

Doesn’t matter just how many times I tried,
There could only be a single reason why,
So tell me

These lyrics were a stumper, so we will bring them back next week.

Thanks for listening!

Gratitude in the air!

Power plus Prophets!

Here are today’s Artist Newsday stories:

Continuing to break new ground with first-of-its-kind technology and out-of-the-box creativity, Word Entertainment’s Sidewalk Prophets announces “The Chosen Tour,” a live stream concert outing that will hit 28 cities this fall. Fans will have the rare opportunity to determine the band’s set list in real time for each date, ensuring every show is completely unique. Although each concert will broadcast to a different city and a different set of fans each night, Sidewalk Prophets will perform every show live from their warehouse in Nashville. Named for the band’s current single, “The Chosen Tour” follows the unprecedented success of Sidewalk Prophets’ first live stream concert run, “The Virtual Album Experience,” which took their latest album, The Things That Got Us Here, directly to more than 25,000 viewers in 32 cities. They include Toledo on 10/18, Little Hocking on 10/25 and Columbus on 10/28! Find out more at sidewalkprophets.com

Curb | Word Entertainment’s Dove Award-nominated and K-LOVE Fan Award-winning act We Are Messengers amps up the strength of their sophomore project with Power +, which dropped on friday (9/11) across all digital service providers. An extension of the band’s Power LPwhich released in January, Power + includes the full Power track listing, plus one new song, “Image Of God.”this new track is a timely addition to the Power + set. Nashville Life Music backs up We Are Messengers front man Darren Mulligan on the emotional track, which is slated as the band’s next radio single. “These are challenging times where we need unity, hope, empathy and love,” Mulligan shares. “‘Image Of God’ is a song to unite us, reminding us that every single person is created wonderfully in God’s image, and as such, is invaluable and fully worthy of our time, respect, love and honor.” 

We’re running out the darkness,
Chasing down the dead of night,
We’re bringing hope to the streets,
There’s a new way…a better life.

The song? We Are Messengers with ‘Power.’ Congratulations to Michelle from Mount Vernon, who wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!

Thanks for listening!
