Add to the Beauty


I heard this song the other day and KNEW that it was exactly what Lilies of the Field is all about. Wouldn't it be great if we could incorporate it somehow?
Even better - Wouldn't it be great if Sara Groves was willing to come sing as a fundraiser for our group?

"We come with beautiful secrets
We come with purposes written on our hearts, written on our souls
We come to every new morning
With possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold
Redemption comes in strange place, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are
And I want to add to the beauty to tell a better story
I want to shine with the light that's burning up inside
It comes in small inspirations
It brings redemption to life and work to our lives and our work
It comes in loving community
It comes in helping a soul find it's worth
Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are
And I want to add to the beauty To tell a better story
I want to shine with the light that's burning up inside
This is grace, an invitation to be beautiful
This is grace, an invitation
Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out our best
And I want to add to the beauty To tell a better story
I want to shine with the light that's burning up inside"

What a great idea! Maybe Brooke can contact her soon since she just met her and talked for a bit. Maybe she'll remember Brooke and be willing to work with her and you on Lilies fundraising. Does she have any concerts scheduled in KC in the next 3-6months? Maybe you could work around another concert she has already...a small little gathering somewhere with a handful of people who would be willing to be on the board and support Lilies and they could be invited to the mini "concert"? Hmmmmm.....

i think we could make this huge.
the wheels are already spinning in my head.
we can contact her through her management group.
you can actually look that up online, but i will take care of it today and see if she is taking offers for concerts or not. this is not going to be too hard. i press that you try and attend her concert on sunday in springfield, missouri. ride down with mrs. chugg, makenzie and laura finn. you would get a chance to talk with her, and press your issue. she would hear you, i promise. but i don't know if she could commit. even if you could not get sara groves, the whole idea is fantastic. i would start working on a fundraiser - it would have to be huge and it would take a lot of planning and time but i think the benefits could be huge. oh dear. why are our sisters so creative? sometimes it scares me....

i looked online.
the ART.MUSIC.JUSTICE concert is booking.
that could work, but it would be better if it was just her. email bmyers@caa.com and speak your cause.
that is her booking agent's email. i am in lucy. i already have some fantastic ideas. i will call you later.
