 	\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This Week: Randy Burk & the Prisoners
 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nIn the rich tradition of artists like
  Steve Earle\, Johnny Cash\, and Dave Alvin\, artist Randy Burk creates mu
 sic that is at once exciting and familiar\, honest and soulful\, fearless 
 and introspective. Burk has an unparalleled blue-collar work ethic that he
 ’s easily applied to the cutthroat world of music with a midwestern sens
 ibility that for the last 23 years has enabled him to play more than 200 s
 hows a year across the Midwest\, West Coast\, and Europe with the Prisoner
 s.  \nBurk’s affinity for songs about love\, life\, pain\, and good ol
 ’ hard work can be traced to his small-town Iowa roots. Born and raised 
 in Atlantic\, Iowa\, Burk spent much of his youth singing in the church an
 d listening to his father’s collection of Elvis Presley 8 tracks. These 
 roots he never abandoned even while sharing the stage with artists from Bi
 g Smith to Jason Aldean. Roots that ground honesty to his songwriting and 
 humility across the thousands of miles and thousands of shows.  \n“My b
 oots have known mostly rocky roads\, but that makes the songs come easy so
 metimes\,” Burk says. In 2012 Randy Burk and the Prisoners won the Artis
 tSignal.com 90-day competition for $25\,000\, which helped them release th
 eir 3rd album “Money\, Heart & Soul.” Burk and the Prisoners are slate
 d to release their highly anticipated 5th album this winter. \n\n			\n

  ON THE MOUNT\nWomen: Week of September 14 – November 19\nMen: September
  17 – November 19 \nThe Sermon on the Mount contains some of the most fa
 miliar and treasured passages in all of scripture—from the Lord’s Pray
 er and the Beatitudes to Jesus’ gentle yet profound teachings on money\,
  ambition\, and relationships. While we often encounter these verses in fr
 agments\, treating them as separate lessons\, what if we navigated these t
 hree chapters in Matthew exactly as they were originally heard? \nJoin us 
 for this 9-session study as we walk verse by verse through Jesus’ teachi
 ng\, reading them as one cohesive message. Together we will be challenged 
 to think differently about what it means to faithfully and obediently foll
 ow Jesus. \nRegister for the time you wish to attend: \n\nMultiple group o
 ptions available to fit your schedule\n\nDon’t miss the opportunity to g
 row deeper in God’s Word and in community. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_colum

 displacement. (Not) At Home is curated by Lilah Anderson. The exhibition w

DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of all things\, God spoke\, and a family tree
  sprouted in the dust. Adam and Eve were the first branches\, but soon thi
 s beautiful tree came to include Noah\, Abraham\, Jesse\, King David\, and
  eventually Jesus… \nBranch retells the journey from sin to salvation th
 rough stirring poetry and a wonderfully accessible metaphor of trees\, gar
 dens\, and plants. Luminous art from Michelle Carlos overflows with striki
 ng Old and New Testament imagery\, which is explained further in back matt
 er notes from the author and illustrator. Whether readers are hearing this
  story for the first–or hundredth–time\, they’ll find something new 
 to discover on this expansive journey from Genesis to Revelation. Branch 
 is an unforgettable book to share during all seasons\, especially around C
 hristmas and Easter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit – Courtney Wil
 son\nRebecca Janni (pronounced Yawn-nee) goes by Rebecca on paper\, Becky 
 in voice and sign language (sign name: B handshape\, tap opposite shoulder
 )\, and “Mom” to six adult and young adult children. She lives in Stil
 lwater\, MN with her husband James\, their youngest daughter Elizabeth\, a
 nd their two dogs Ollie and Louie.  \nYoung Becky learned early that biki
 ng was the best way to get around the neighborhood and reading was the bes
 t way to get around the world. On a bus ride home from school\, she confid
 ed to a friend that she was working on a novel about a girl and her horse.
  She never finished the novel\, but a horse of a different hoof shows up i
 n her Every Cowgirl series.  \nHer newest book\, Branch: A Resurrection S
 tory\, is her “heart on paper\,” exploring the connection between her 
 faith and writing. For as long as she can remember\, her most profound mom
 ents of prayer and worship have happened with a blank sheet of paper and a
  pen. Whether she is journaling\, writing for ministry\, or creating a wor
 k of fiction\, writing feeds her faith and faith enriches her writing. \nR
 ebecca holds a BA in English and French from Iowa State University and an 
 MAT in English Education from Boston University. She has enjoyed teaching 
 both high school and college. In addition to writing children’s books\, 
 Rebecca has written for Meredith Corporation publications\, local ministri
 es\, and education curricula. She loves visiting schools\, universities an
 d libraries\, offering story times and writing workshops. If you invite he
 r\, she might pedal into your neighborhood\, too! \n \n  \nBeaverdale Boo
 ks is proud to donate 10% of the book’s event sales to Central Iowa Deaf
  Academy\, an organization committed to academic excellence\, spiritual fo
 rmation\, and social-emotional growth to equip Deaf students for lifelong 
 success\, service\, and faith-filled living.
