Sanctus Real’s album We Need Each Other was nominated for a Grammy award!  How often do you get to see a Grammy-nominated artist perform for $5?  What a treat!

We sold 50 $5-tickets in 10 minutes on Sunday.  We will have 150 more to sell this week.  I will be at the Grace Centre on Thursday evening from 3pm until 10pm if you want to purchase tickets then.  Otherwise, you can take your chances next Sunday!

Phil Wickham is coming to the Grace Centre on Sunday, September 13 (see previous post).Visit his website today (www.philwickham.com) and you can download his latest recording “Sing Along” for free!  All you have to do is sign up for his e-mail list.   The new album features a collection of live acoustic recordings from a concert in Oregon.  You’ll even recognize a couple of the songs we sing at Grace (Always Forever and Cannons).

We are excited to announce that World Vision will be sponsoring a concert at the Grace Centre on Sunday, September 13 featuring Sanctus Real, Phil Wickham and Jason Gray.Tickets are $15 through TicketWindow.ca.  But you can buy your tickets at Grace for only $5!  Better yet, you can volunteer for one of the concert teams and get in for free!  We’ll have sign-ups on Sunday for Ticket Takers, Ushers, Load-in/out crew, Concessions and more!  Look for the concert table in the lobby on Sunday to buy your tickets or sign up for a team.
