Eric & Monique SDA St.Albans 29 th January 2018 The music of Eric & Monique is an exceptional blending of intelligence and beauty. The husband and wife duo are singer-songwriters and musicianaries who write deeply biblical, piano-driven songs that have a genre-blending sound. Being likened to Gungor, All Sons & Daughters and The Brilliance, their original compositions strive to allow space for the Holy Spirit to minister in a setting of lyrical efficiency, a classically tinged piano and vocal harmony commonly found only in siblings. Performing together for the first time in 2009, audiences from around the world have been encouraged by Eric & Monique s live performance that exudes humility and emotional honesty. Their songs and message are filled with God s promises, His love and moving challenges for our spiritual walk that transcends age and cultural divides. Eric & Monique released their début full-length album, Pilgrim in 2010 and since have released two live albums: Live at Psalter Studios (2013, Psalter Music) and Songs of Ascent: Psalm 103 Tour (2014) with Matt & Josie Minikus. Eric & Monique s latest album Everlasting, mastered by Grammy award-winner William Bowden, is encased with motifs inspired by Isaiah 40:28, yet fleshed out in lyrics loaded with gravitas and raw honesty. Musically, it has a cinematic thread woven through elements of folk, pop and alternative sounds underscoring raw and emotional vocals. Since 2009, Eric & Monique have travelled extensively as God has opened doors for their faith- driven music ministry in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, and throughout Australia. Their music has also been featured on the Australian Christian Channel, Hope Channel, and 3ABN. As they continue to spread the gospel through word and song, their prayer and focus is that Christ alone will be lifted up and given all the glory.

IT s WORTH A THOUGHT Roman Presečan prošle subote tijekom subotnje škole Roman Presečan last Sabbath during the Sabbath School A gardener or farmer I am not. Now don t get me wrong - I like gardens and I like farms. I enjoy walking through them. I appreciate their beauty, however the process involved constantly amazes me. You dig a hole, bury a seed, give it some water and then wait. What happens next is truly incredible. A tiny little seed is capable of shifting the huge weight of the soil that is covering it. Peace grows in the same way as crops. Let me illustrate with Heinz story. It is 1934 in Europe and Hitler is gaining power rapidly. The little Bavarian village of Fürth where Heinz lived is being overrun by Hitler s young thugs. Heinz father has lost his job as a school teacher. No one plays outside any more. The tension can be felt on the streets. Hitler youth roam the suburbs looking for excitement and young Heinz learns to keep his eyes open and avoid trouble. Many times he would have to cross the street to escape a fight. One day in 1934 a mob of troublemakers cornered Heinz and it seemed that a beating would quickly follow. However he walked away unharmed not because of what he did, but because of what he said. He managed to convince his tormenters that a fight did not have to happen. Heinz experienced how important the tongue can be in making peace. For a young Jew living in a time and place that was infected by Hitler s philosophies, Heinz had many opportunities to practice the skill of avoiding conflict. Eventually Heinz family escaped to the United States and grew up to be one of this century s most prominent peace negotiators. Although Heinz tended to dismiss his early experiences, there is no doubt that the streets of Bavaria were a great training ground, for developing his ability to use words of peace. Heinz is better known by his Anglicised name Henry Kissinger. Want to see a miracle. Plant a seed of peace. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matt 5:9 It s worth a thought. Mark B Vodéll, Gilson College Principal Page 8 Page 9
