Shelley Spady Concert to Benefit Love INC

Join Shelley Spady in concert at Grace Bible Church, Tuesday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m., to hear songs from her latest CD title "The Best Part of December". The evening is sure to warm hearts in preparation for the holiday season!

The concert is free.  A love offering will be taken and proceeds will be donated to Love INC.   You can also bring personal care items to support Love INC's Personal Care Pantry. If you need information on what type of items to bring, please call Love INC at 406-587-3008 or email loveincoffice@yahoo.com

In January 2009, Shelley released, "The Business of Living", with Big Splash Records, which is a compilation of songs about the joys and struggles of everyday life.

This December, she has new project called, "The Best Part of December". The new CD contains original songs she wrote as well as old standards that we all know and love. It is sure to be a heartwarming experience for this holiday season.

Shelley Spady is a native Californian, who attended Long Beach State University.  After graduation, she realized that there was a calling upon her life.  She was to share God's comfort and encouragement through music.  Although she had no formal musical training, she soon learned that through God, all things are possible.  She joined a worship team at Calvary Chapel in West Covina, California, and was encouraged  to do an album of her own.  Within months, Shelley was offered a record deal with Daywind Music Group in Nashville, Tennessee.  She completed two projects with Daywind Music before leaving and joining Big Splash Records, an independent label, also located in Nashville.  Shelley has travelled extensively across the United States and Canada. To sample her music, go to Shelleyspady.com, cdbaby.com or itunes.

Please come and enjoy some wonderful music while benefiting Love INC’s ministry to our neighbors in need.

Thanks-4-Giving

Thanks-4-Giving: what started three years ago as a small Hawthorne School project, has now turned into an annual Bozeman community event that redistributes literally tons of clothing.   Schools throughout the area collect gently worn clothing, infant through adult, each November. The clothes are then made available to everyone during the two-day "Thanks-4-Giving" event.

This is a good opportunity to look at your closets and see what clothes and shoes you and your family no longer use.  Items should be sorted and labeled according to gender and size.  Donated clothing will be accepted at individual schools and at Willson School November 18 and 19 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Clothing will be available for people to acquire (like a "free garage sale") on Saturday, November 20 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and Sunday, November 21 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Willson School Gymnasium(404 W. Main in Bozeman). Everyone is invited to come and take items that their family can use.  No donation needed.  Thanks-4-Giving is a collaboration of area school volunteers and students.
