Christian Musicians

Come celebrate the historic comeback of BTS! Returning to the stage together after the completion of their mandatory military service, BTS has dropped a brand new album, taken over the heart of Seoul city for their homecoming concert (compete with Netflix Specials), and launched a world tour. This comeback represents a historic inflection point—not only for the group itself, but for the broader dynamics of global music production, fandom mobilization, and transnational cultural exchange. If this is your first BTS comeback, come ready to talk about your first impressions, and if you've been around the block before, come ready to tell us how you feel about how the group has evolved with 'Arirang'. Together, let's explore the strategic, artistic, and socio-cultural dimensions of BTS’s return, considering how the group has leveraged narrative continuity, digital platforms, and fan engagement to sustain unprecedented global influence. We'll also have a focused analysis of the “SWIM” music video, unpacking its visual symbolism, choreography, and narrative structure as it serves as a love letter from BTS to their fandom.

Hey Rockers, Time to break out your acoustic instruments and bring some good vibes to 2026. I'll be hosting an acoustic jam at my place, so just bring your instruments, songbooks, and any food/libations you're willing to share with the group. No need to publish a songlist. Just be willing to share your talents with the group. We'll have some snacks during and after the jam, so feel free to stick around for awhile. Keep Rockin! Eric

All languages are welcome! However we don't guarantee the availability of a partner in that particular language, you would like to exchange. As you all remember well, this event used to bring out hundreds of people every week. However, it was discontinued last year for obvious reasons and we couldn't gather that many people now, because of restrictions. Hence, we are downsizing and caping the number of attendees. We have super limited spots and advance ticket purchase is required. During this unprecedented time we were in lockdowns/confinements and we were not able to stay in touch with our old friends (as we used to) and couldn't make new ones. That is why we came up with the FRIENDING part. We have a lot in common :- We speak different languages, we represent different cultures, we lived/travelled to different countries, we appreciate different accents, we are internationally minded. HOW IT WORKS : We will try to assign tables for each represented languages and will direct attendees to their respective tables accordingly. All languages are welcome! However we don't guarantee the availability of a partner in that particular language, you would like to exchange. After the formal session, we will rotate attendees from table to table. So that everyone meets everyone. During this session, we use our Lingua Franca, i.e, English. You would get to meet your future friends/acquaintances/buddies/pals /partner-in-crimes or may be more:) To hang out/go out or do things together, like Biking, Hiking, Skiing, Traveling,.....etc. Also, this is an ideal event if you are new in town or not! Rules to abide : 1. Event is free and 21+ (bring ID). 2. Be respectful to your counterparts and give them a chance to exchange with others as well. 3. We all are native speakers of one or two languages and be willing to help others and try to accommodate as much as possible. 4. If you don't speak the other person's required language, LEAVE THEM ALONE. 5. Rude or aggressive members are removed from the group at an organizers discretion. 6. This is a face-to-face language exchange event. DO NOT try to arrange an online meeting, by using the comment box or direct message. 7. Most of our members complained about people writing in the comment box. Since it sends notification to all attendees. If you have any questions, send a message to the organizers. Don't write in the comment box. 8. We have ZERO TOLERANCE for solicitation. We don't allow anyone to run their own agenda at the Event. If you are interested to promote/sponsor/collaborate; contact us via (info@merevents.com). 9. When you get there, we will greet you and take you to your respective group. 10. Don't be shy of your local languages. We have diplomates assigned to different countries, who would love to practice your languages.

**Real connection with fellow Catholics who are eager to grow in Faith and friendship!** This 3 year--- 45min deep dive into the Catholic faith is a great way to spend your Sunday rest day. When you are ready to dig deeper and live the faith more fully this is an optimal opportunity. Talk yourself into this! You may start whenever and can come as often or as little as you desire. Coffee is served w/ small donation. It is taught by the priest and/or OCIA director at St Louis Parish who are ALL fabulous- faithful educators filled with theologically inspired knowledge. You can ask questions at the end, which I love. It is just a wonderful experience to grow. Afterwards if you wish, you can also find your way over to the Little Way Cafe Coffee shop across the parking lot to stay for more community time or read some of the excellent books that line the shelves throughout. If you are new to the community of Alexandria and want to meet like minded folks or a veteran of it, this is a special and unique opportunity and did I mention it is free? :) Hard to believe! Please join me every Sunday at 945 am.

My favorite Country Western Hanks - Hank Penny, a King of Western Swing; Hank Snow, “_I’ve Been Everywhere_”; and Hank Williams, America’s original punk rocker; all left their stamp on Country Western music. These three and a few other Hanks will be celebrated this Sunday by Karen Collins and the Backroads Band alongside a posse of guest artists including Willie Barry of the RockASonics. My 3 Hanks playlist on Spotify - [3 Hanks ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Hlk571KCbWSy9FIvBYiDK?si=pASSZeYuQZy6xzKxHxCvCg&pi=cAap48GnRUull) . The music starts at 6 but come early to get a seat, as this show is likely to sell out. The cover for this show is $10. I will most likely be at bar in my honky tonk 🤠 best. Hank Dietles Tavern is MoCo’s roadhouse and possessor of the first post prohibition alcohol license.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
