Musical Artist: Reverend Jim Hughes

Several years ago, Reverend Jim Hughes, began to feel a deepening of God's call upon his life. The desire was to present the message of Christ's love and how we, as a church, respond to that love through a life of surrender. This came into focus with the development of dramatic sermons, musical dramas and seminars. He grew up as a pastor's son and had the heritage of generations of deeply committed men and women as an everyday example. The focus of the ministry is to use whatever gifts God has given us to seek and save the lost and to bring Christians a fresh vision of how, through Christ, we can be the holy church He desires. Reverend Jim Hughes is a licensed minister who presents the word of God about one hundred and eighty times a year to more than twenty different denominations nationwide. Rev. Hughes has been in full time ministry since 1989.

Guest Speaker: Bill Wilkie,
" Grandparenting"

Dr. Bill Wilkie is the co-author of the Next Generation Series, what if I could empower my teen. It is based upon his family experiences and subsequent input from many other families who have wrestled with their relationship to their teens. Bill was a former faculty member and Special Assistant to the President at Michigan State University before joining the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to work on Life-Long Learning and economic development projects. His subsequent professional experiences as an executive in the automotive supplier industry, President of Rockmont College in Denver, Colorado and owner of an executive search firm provided background for authoring "Empowering Teens" and "Against All Odds."

Musical Artists: Schwandt Family Chamber Ensemble

Yes, we are all one family! The music we play is classical and sacred (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, Haydn, etc). Our instrumentation includes violins, viola, cello, piano, flute and a few others. One of our newest pieces, which I call “variations of Mozarts 12 Variations ‘Ah vous dirai-je, maman’” (Twinkle Twinkle little Star), gives insight into The Schwandt Family Chamber Ensemble. Our children, ranging in age from 7 to 23 years of age and skill level from beginner to advanced, add a broad range of color and depth to our music, making it a unique experience.
