Due to the huge volume of interest our videos generated last month, we’ve experienced some technical difficulties and the videos can not currently be viewed. I will send out a special message when we’re up and running again.
Thanks for watching, Debra.

Fall Music Writing Contest
This contest is really exciting because absolutely anyone can enter – and I hope you all do. (Like how about this week?)
Brian Gibson, the multi talented musician, writer and mentor to so many of us, has generously donated one of his original music pieces. All you have to do is add the lyrics.
Here is the sheet music:
Here is a link to the recorded music click on “song competition band track”.
And here is how the contest will work:
All music will be submitted to me and given an anonymous file number before it is passed on to Brian Gibson. Brian will then choose the lyric which he feels best expresses his music.
The winning lyric will be sung and recorded at a professional studio!
And don’t forget about our other contest…
Calling all musicians … do you have a knack for plunking out your own catchy tune on the piano, plucking some original sounds on the strings or working the music on any other instrument? We’re looking for a new music bed for our weekly video teaser. The music must be original, should be 45- 60 seconds in length and recorded in a professional or semi professional studio.
Tip - Most high schools have great studios these days. Remember this is a backtrack so a voice must be heard over top of it.
Have fun with it, all styles are welcome from Rock to New Age to Jazz.
Send me your samples in MP3 format to debra@communityofchrist.ca
Prizes, Prizes, Prizes
But wait…we wouldn’t ask you to enter these contests just for the glory would we? Well the glory is pretty great, but so are these nifty jackets the winner of each contest will receive!
This high quality jacket will quickly become your favorite and will wear well for years to come. Soft micro-fiber exterior is a cream/taupe color with navy accents. The name Community of Christ is embroidered in navy blue on the left front.
Rachelle Smalldon from the Edmonton Congregation recently contributed to the Community of Christ Young Adult Ministries e-Newsletter.

What is Spec?
During SPECTACULAR approximately 1,100 campers and their leaders gather at Graceland University for the largest annual gathering of youth in the Community of Christ.
All campers will have opportunities to participate in leadership and discipleship development, diverse worship, and expression of arts, music, and sports.
During the week campers can look forward to sharing in all avenues of the SPEC experience - service projects, communication workshops, basketball, musical instruction, table tennis, stage production, worship, delegation devotions, volleyball, tie-dying, cotton candy, discussions about dating and relationships, learning more about our Creator, soccer, and much, much more.
