Mr President  

Shine is heading back to the movies! 

Unfortunately, an organisation such as Shine cant operate without financial support, but thankfully, we are able to hold fund-raising events that go along way toward keeping Shine going week to week, and month to month.

Earlier on in the year, we held a movie fundraiser at the Capri Theatre in Goodwood. We watched "Oz the great and Powerful with 65 supporters of the Shine Choir. Thanks to those of you that were able to support us in this way.

And just the other day, Shine was out in force at Officeworks Trinity Gardens, cooking sausages and selling soft drinks! It was a great time of getting to know each other and serving yummy snags to the community. Thanks Officeworks Trinity Gardens!

We've got a few more fundraisers planned, so stay tuned for more information.

Sunday the 7th of April saw the Shine Choir at New Life Christian Centre in Christies Beach. Shine Choir knew straight away it was going to be a special service with the congregation singing and clapping from the first song. There was a special sort of joy that could be felt through the entire service.

We thank New Life for the opportunity and look forward to visiting again soon.

In March the Shine Choir was privileged enough to be invited to sing in the Flinders
Ranges. All Shiners arrived on time at 3pm on Saturday the 16th of March at the Melrose
Institute in 36 degree heat. The members of the Shine choir were all hands on deck to set
up the sound equiptment. We became team Shine!!!

One of the key things that made this trip amazing was meeting the people. Shine choir
was met with good old fashioned country hospitality in every way. We were met with the
most amazing smiling faces who did more than any of us could have imagined. AND the
food, well I don’t know where to start, there was just so much of it. If any people who
contributed to this weekend read this let me say again THANK YOU!!!

Saturday night was the concert which saw around 90 people attend. Shine sung for
around 1 hour and a half and had a fantastic time bringing live music to the country and
sold our CD’s to the locals. After the concert we drove for about fifteen minutes and
we came to our accomodation. We were allowed to stay in the local church which was
fantastic. It was a special time of getting to know each other more. We were also blessed
to have air conditioning on an extreemly hot night.

Sunday morning we were all up bright and early, showered and ready to do it all again.
This time we lead the combined churches harvest service. Again we were blown away
with the hospitality at lunch time.

A very special person was Sheryl. She was our accompanist for this trip and was a
blessing in so many ways. Her life is a story of faith and she shared some amazing
stories. We only found her two rehearsals before the trip and she felt led to accompany us
and learn 27 songs for the two days in less than two weeks. She was a gift to us. We wish
her well and hope that we can play with her again.

The Shine Choir are doing their first interstate tour to QUEENSLAND!! 2014 is our fifteenth year of being the Shine Choir!!

To celebrate we are going to spend two weeks in April visiting rural towns and spending some time at EasterFest.

We have begun the planning and have some gigs pencilled in. As the tour begins to take shape we will blog the progress. Please contact us any requests you may have, as we'd love the opportunity to come and share with you!

On Sunday we performed the nativity story, aided by Peter Combe songs, at the Special Children's Christmas Party.

Here we all are, dressed in our finest costumes, ready to perform!
