In January, some GCBI students got a few acts together to raise money. Every year Great Commission Bible Institute studies the entire Bible and then goes to Israel at the end of the school year. It's an expensive trip so some of the students decided to host a fundraiser at a local coffee shop called Brewster's.
The Gickbees opened with a song by John Mark McMillan.
Next was local musician Kirsten Melrose (Nickisch) with her beautiful original songs.
After that was The Courtship which is made up of Kelly Pelham (vocals), Peter Pieringer (guitar) and my husband Ben Russell (percussion).
Andrea, one of this year's GCBI students, read a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
The talented Jesse Brown was up next and he played some originals as well as a few covers.
Three of our coolio students this year: Luke, Zoe, and Abigail
To round out the night was Jesse B and the Gickbees playing a few songs.
Luke on bass, Dennis on acoustic, Jesse on drums, and Justin on piano and guitar
Pusat and Zoe!
Overall it was a fun night with some friends and some fantastic music. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported our students' fundraiser!
