Hey Guys,

Life FM AGM is on MONDAY 22nd October @ 7:30pm at the Wagga Christian College (401 Kooringal Rd). Come and check out all the good things that have happened this year and be part of the excitement that is building as Christian Radio grows in Wagga. See you there!

Rain did not dampen the spirits of many people who turned out for the annual Wagga Christmas Carols (in the park, but this year in the indoor venue, Wagga Christian College MPC). An amazing night with the band and singers lighting up the stage. Jesus was proclaimed high throughout the night with some wonderful guest artists bringing poetry, story reading, singing and words of encouragement.

It was great to see young talent such as Bec Forbes-Taber, Tristyn Martens-Shaw, James MacCallum and Mike Harley all participating in the night and showing how blessed we are in Wagga.

If you missed it, tune in to 101.9 Life FM on Christmas Eve at 6pm and Christmas Day at 3pm to hear the replay of the carols.

Exodus 3v8 came to Wagga last night to perform as part of the Irene Gleeson Foundation (IGF) to support child education and nutrition in Uganda. It was a testimony to the power of God to hear of all the blessings received by IGF in Australia from donations, to free container transports and fit outs, to support from locals (including a big shout out to the Willans Hill School who were extremely generous towards the children in Africa with many materials donated).

Exodus 3v8 rocked the stage bringing their African rhythms, songs and dances to life, with many of the crowd up in their seats dancing to the music. It was a fantastic atmosphere and it was particularly special to see the Number 1 gospel artist in Uganda profess his love for Jesus Christ and share how God had saved him from drugs, violence and abuse and given him a life filled with purpose and the Love of Jesus. If you made the concert, make a comment below on what you thought. If you missed it, check out the homepage or the videos page to catch a glimpse of the concert (make sure you check out the awesome dance moves at the end!). Here are some photos in the meantime.

The Kapooka Army Band concert was held at the Wagga Christian College last night as part of Life FM’s Spring Festival of Music. It is not often that we are given the privilege to experience such amazing skill and talent, but all who attended the concert were in awe of what took place. The highlight of the show was when Geoffrey “Gershwin” Xeros performed “Rhapsody in Blue” with the Kapooka Army Band. A stunning performance that had the crowd on their feet in applause. Others might disagree however, with one man from the Army Band playing 2 trumpets and 2 trombones at once! Many talented students from the Christian College also performed and the College Senior Band had the opportunity to play along with the army band for some of the concert. God created music, and it was a wonderful celebration of the gifts and talents he has given us. It was also a great reminder to allow God to use us in the many things he has for our lives. If you missed the concert or would like to relive some moments, check out the home page later for an excerpt from the concert. If you went to the concert, leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts!

Sons of Korah brought their unique multi-ethnic sound to Wagga last night bringing the psalms to life. A sensational concert in the Spring Festival of Music series ministering, encouraging and blowing away many Wagga residents who turned out for the show, with some fans travelling from Victoria to see this international band. If you missed this show, you can check out their website for their latest Albumn @ www.sonsofkorah.com or tune your radio into 101.9 Wagga’s Life FM. Matthew spoke of desiring the Lord and that through the psalms we see how if we put God as our number one desire, if all other desires become secondary to God, then we will have peace. If you went to the concert leave a comment below and tell us what you thought!

Wagga’s Life FM held its annual general meeting on Monday at the Wagga Christian College. There was a great turnout to hear how the station has been progressing over the last 12 months and it was encouraging to see hod God is using the station to impact Wagga. We have had many new church, business and individual partners come on board with much of the thanks going to our station manager Carolyn Parkinson.

Wagga’s Life FM would also like to recognise Adrian Laws and his work on the board as both visionary and secretary. We will miss him as he completes his text book. Other board members elected were: Bruce James, Hugh MacCallum, Corrie Laurens and Stephen Gilmour.

The Wagga Wagga Christian College as part of the Spring Festival of Drama and Music recently performed the original work “Vox Populi, Vox Dei”. This musical was written by the year 11 extension English students at the College and performed by Years 8-11 Drama and Music students. The title is Latin for: “Voice of the people, voice of God”. There are voices in the world around us – they clamour for attention and often distract us from the voice of God.  Such voices are particularly a part of young people in the form of peer pressure.

The evil business men

The musical was attended by over 700 people across two nights and was a fantastic success. Many of the students grew in their gifts of music and drama and became more confident in themselves and in the gifts God has for them.
