"The more that you read, the more things you will know.  The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."     Dr. Seuss

Time: 7:30 pm
Claudia sings the “new song” that is spoken of in Psalm 40:1-3 – a Psalm of God’s grace and restorative power drives the psalmist to sing for joy and sing of God’s Love.
As the “new song” is sung over and over in hundreds of churches and locations, Claudia and her love of God and music are shared.

From the small child cowering in fear with her parents in an alien country to being an ambassador for the Gospel, Claudia is an emissary with a clear mandate. The fear of her past is gone. The wandering is over and the promise land is available to all. This is real message of her heart’s ongoing new song. There is sanctuary. It is real place of mercy and grace.

With such a testimony and deep passion for Jesus, coupled with her powerful vocals and excellent musical production Claudia creates a refreshing experience that draws many to the love of Christ. She resides in Vancouver, Canada with her husband.

CD Release Concert

John McLoughlin was born in Vancouver in 1962, and has lived his life throughout BC – a true Canadian West-coaster. His song writing is reflective of a long and varied experience with music. Early live music influences include the Catholic Church folk style of the 1960’s, his mom playing boogie woogie on the piano, and dad singing British bar room songs. Later influences include country music and bluegrass.

When he became a born-again Christian a whole new experience of devotional music followed. His songwriting is mostly a reflection of his knowledge of a real living God.  As well as performing throughout the Fraser Valley, John McLoughlin also runs the Monday Night Jam at Legal Grounds Coffeehouse and is well known for his enthusiastic support and participation in the local music scene. John has released two CD’s locally and will release his third album at a CD release show at the House of James on March 27th. John will perform music from the album “John Mcloughlin & More Friends” accompanied by the musicians that collaborated with him on the recording.

A Duncan Africa Benefit Concert
The DuncanAfrica Society has a vision to be an instrument of change in impoverished third-world communities.  The vision was born from a combination of master luthier Jay Duncan’s desire to bring an affordable version of his instruments to a larger market and his world view that reflects God’s sense of justice and compassion for the poor and suffering.  His dream resulted in the creation of the DuncanAfrica Society in April 2005.
