GRAMMY-Winner Mandisa Releases New Single Ruins
Following her powerful single this past January, Breakthrough, Grammy-winner Mandisa has released another brand new track, Ruins. With encouraging and hopeful lyrics that say you rebuild, you restore all that s broken from the ruins, the song is now available through all DSPs. Listen here! One of the things I love about worship music is that it is a reminder to my soul of who God is and what He can do, Mandisa says. Coming out of a particularly difficult year, Ruins is a reminder of how God can make beauty from ashes. That is a promise I am clinging to.

Artist: Friedberg
From: London, England
This one of the new songs from their debut EP, “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah.” The band consists of Anna Friedberg, Emily Linden, Cheryl Pinero and Laura Williams.
“Yeah’ is my personal anthem for letting go-of everything and anything. From voices in your head, pictures popping up and patterns you have learnt. When we wrote the song we were just dancing to the groove in the studio until all those voices and things disappeared and basically only the yeahs, the beat and bass line remained. Dancing yourself clean I suppose,” said Anna.

Many families find themselves at times in an emergency situation when it comes to feeding their children and themselves.
The church family at the Vevay Church of Christ is hoping to ease that burden for many with the installation of a ‘Blessing Box’ pantry at the corner of Liberty and Market streets.
The idea of the blessing box came from church member Laura Williams from when she lived in Shepherdsville, Kentucky and her church there took on this project. She brought it to the attention of her new church family here, who ran with the idea.
Jill Porton is one of the many church members who has taken an active role in the project.
