 	\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

 ngs of home and placemaking can be seen in the context of dislocation and 
 displacement. (Not) At Home is curated by Lilah Anderson. The exhibition w
