Battle of the Christian Bands Honorable Mention

There were 58 bands who officially joined and answered God's call of worship and we congratulate you for being part of the top 13 Grand Finalists in the first ever Brevstock Battle of the Christian Bands. You are among those who have been specially anointed by the Lord and were given the opportunity other musicians didn't experience.

During the course of this Brevstock journey, we have the highe
st hopes that you became better persons...better yet...better Christians!

We have seen how you developed your skills and talents and we are so proud of you. Certainly, the Grand Finals was a battle of the champions! You have all proven yourselves so worthy of applause, acclamation, and awards. How we would have loved to declare all of you Grand winners. However, just like any other competition, we have judges, who by the way had a very difficult time, committed to rate you as best as they could with all fairness and honesty. Certainly, tangible awards have to be given.

This is not merely a Battle of the Christian Bands but a Battle of Character. And we are so blessed to have witnessed sportsmanship at its best. Your affirmation to each other especially after the competition is commendable. Your good words will be etched in our memories. Truly, your award is not to be given here on earth but definitely stored in heaven.

These are treasures you earned here on earth that can only be taken when we reach our heavenly homes.

We congratulate you for putting God first in your lives and making Him the reason why you are part of Brevstock 13. All your efforts are not in vain. You have been blessed tremendously. We pray that you hear God’s message...everything has a purpose.

Change of Formation/Workshop Schedule this Weekend

     First of all, we are very happy to have Princess and Klee as our first guitarists who attended our first Guitar Workshop this year. We are hoping for more Brevs to join the training to better equip us in serving the Lord.

      However, in as much as we would like to have a regular Saturday schedule for our workshops, we will be temporarily cancelling this weekend's schedule to give way to the schools requesting for Boot Camps. We presently have a tight schedule since the Battle of the Bands is fast approaching.

     This Saturday, September 15, we have Saint Louis University Laboratory High School and St. Louis School of Aurora Hill scheduled for the Boot Camp. The former will have it at 1:00 PM while the latter will be at 4:30 PM. Whew! Hope we finish all bands.

     God is great! Let's keep on praying and BRing EVery Soul TO Christ the King!
