			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>2010-2011 Coffee House Season</strong></p>
<p><strong>Welcome to the 6<sup>th</sup> season of Cedar Park’s Coffee House.  <span id="more-1345"></span></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>October 29 &#8211; </strong>“<strong>A Tribute to James Taylor</strong>”</p>
<p>To kick off the 2010-2011 season, CPUCH is proud to present John Landon, performing many of your favourite James Taylor songs.  Although John is a newcomer to our stage, he is certainly no stranger to the Montreal Coffee House scene and we’re delighted to welcome him.  Don’t miss the warm dulcet tones of the man, his guitar and the melodies made famous by James Taylor!</p>
<p><strong>November 26 -</strong> <strong>TBA</strong></p>
<p><strong>January 28 – TBA</strong></p>
<p><strong>February 18 –</strong> <strong>TBA</strong></p>
<h1>March 25 – “The Purich Family”</h1>
<p>Back by popular demand it’s the Purich Family: Cathy, Peter, Marco and Leo.  Once again they’ll be sharing with us their remarkable talents and enthralling us with new selections.  This talented family is a MUST-SEE!</p>
<h1>“Recitations – Prose and Poetic”</h1>
<p>In the second half you’ll be treated to <strong>“Recitations – Prose and Poetic”</strong>, a collection of readings by CPU’s charming raconteur, Bob Birnie.  Ah!  The flowers that bloom in the spring!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>April 29 – TBA</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>May 27</strong> <strong>– “Far Side Singers”</strong></p>
<p>We never know how many they’ll be – could be three, could be more!  But however many they are, one thing’s for certain &#8211; they’ll make us want to sing those folk songs we love so well.  Don’t miss this vibrant group!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thinking of buying something from Amazon.ca ? <span id="more-1321"></span>Or perhaps you know someone who regularly buys sheet music (besides Douglas Knight, of course!)</p>
<p>The Congregational Board approved two new fund-raising links for our website. The best part is, they are labour-free! The church will receive a percentage of the amount of any purchases made through these links:</p>
<p>For Amazon.ca, go to <a href="http://www.cedarparkunited.org/giving/">http://www.cedarparkunited.org/giving/</a></p>
<p>For SheetMusicPlus, go to <a href="http://www.cedarparkunited.org/music/">http://www.cedarparkunited.org/music/</a></p>
<p>Please pass this message on to friends and family. The more who order, the better for our church.</p>
