A number of years ago my friend Liz was working as a kindergarten teacher at a local Christian School. One day she was telling me a story about one of her students who was recounting a bible story about Jesus and his "Recyclers." It made me laugh right out loud and I thought to myself, "that would make a great name for a band." Here I am a few years later and I find myself starting a work in Hamilton in which I spend each Monday morning on a street corner, ministering to guys who go through recycling boxes looking for recycleables to return to the Beer Store for deposit. I am not Jesus, but they are definitely recyclers, and I do think that Jesus is there with us each Monday morning. Well, I am happy to announce my first gig under the band name "Jesus and the Recyclers." A few friends will be joining me on May 11th for an acoustic set during which I will be playing some songs that have come from the streets of Hamilton. We are playing at a fundraising event for a non-profit organization named Student Open Circles here in the city. Below is a link to the organization with details about the event.
