March has been a full month with the Church Workers BASS Convention at the beginning of the month and the three events at the end of the month (Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday).  I sang in the BASS Vocal Ensemble with Tommy Walker and band.  It was good to help the Music and Worship workshop section improve by organizing the courses and instructors.  One participant had an encouraging word, “Reggie, I just wanted to tell you that my sister, Kelly Thrift, and I attended work amazing and informative  workshop on Band Interactive.  We absolutely loved it.  I got so much good information and ideas out of that workshop.  Just wanted to thank you for your time and the energy you put into the workshop.  Respectfully, Terrie”  The whole conference was a success and had a great turn out.

I began a group guitar course for beginning guitarists (grades 4-8) called Fun Guitar Class 2.  It is a continuation of the Fun Guitar Class 1 which just ended.  I’m continuing private guitar lessons in Alamo, San Jose, and Los Altos.  I performed and taught at San Ramon Valley Christian Academy’s middle school chapel the end of March.  It was received well and the students were so encouraging.

.

I grouped Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter into a three part emphasis called “Reliving Resurrection.”  On Palm Sunday we focused on Receiving Christ with the Jesus saying “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6).  On Good Friday we focused on Remembering Christ with Jesus saying “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35).  On Easter, we focused on Rejoicing in Christ with Jesus saying “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).  Jesus is all about life!  May you daily live in His resurrection power.

Dear Friends of Heartfelt Music Ministry:
.

Hello, I’m Bruce Blake, the President of Heartfelt Music Ministry.  In the ten years I’ve been serving as President, I’ve seen such a high impact of spiritual ministry through our non-profit organization and the lives affected by what we do.  Through quality training events, concerts/worship leading events, and inspiring music products, we are effectively hitting our target of leading others toward intimacy with God.
.

As many organizations have been hit by the drastic downfall in our economy, Heartfelt Music Ministry is also experiencing the “squeeze.”  December is a usual time to give an end-of-the-year gift to tax-deductible, not-for-profit organizations like ours.  On behalf of the Heartfelt Music Ministry Board of Directors (John, Bryan, Willie, Mike, and myself) and the Executive Director (Reggie), would you consider making a donation to Heartfelt Music Ministry and significantly helping us to move forward in ministry?
.

We are very grateful for your support through prayer, attending events, and purchasing our products.  Some of you have been contributing monthly for years which is an important reason for our success in touching people’s lives.  However, recently, it has been difficult to meet our monthly expenses.  We would greatly appreciate any financial contribution you could make at this time.
.

For the Cause of Christ,
.

Bruce Blake
