TGC Ontario – There is a local Gospel Coalition event coming to Ontario. You’ll find some details at the Facebook page.

Matt Hammitt – Matt Hammitt was the subject of a story in a recent issue of USA Today. “Told that his unborn son had only half a heart and little chance to survive, the lead singer of the Christian rock band Sanctus Real began pouring his fears and doubts into music.”
