CREATIVE TRADE SCHOOL

 


Not every student needs to pursue a traditional college degree.

Many times in my years of ministry I have visited with parents and students who desired another option besides the traditional college education. Legacy Trade College provides that option.

Located in Marysville, Utah, Legacy offers industrial arts training in construction, cabinetry, and welding. Degrees include a two-year trade certificate, or a one-year Bible certificate and trade certificate. Those desiring to work toward a Bachelor’s program or even a Master’s program can combine Legacy courses with additional classes from Maranatha Baptist University.

Legacy President Mike Smith says, “What we are trying to do is combine the Bible programs with the industrial arts programs. Bi-vocational pastoral studies would fit with a proficiency in one of the industrial arts. A missionary program would fit with construction.”

Future plans include courses in cosmetology and culinary arts along with Bible programs for those interested in such trades.

“When you choose Legacy you’re not just selecting a school,” says Smith. “You’re purposing to develop your skills—spiritual, mental, and physical—for ministry and life.” More information can be found at legacytradecollege.org.

Sounds like a great option to me.

This week I had the privilege of being invited into Sam’s Club. It had nothing to do with groceries. Every Monday night Mark Telloyan in Indiana and John Telloyan in Japan zoom with their father Sam Telloyan in Michigan. They call it Sam’s Club. And they include in the meeting someone Sam knew from his many years at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College. This week that person was me. We talked about people we knew, places we have been, and ministries we have enjoyed. We talked about the Lord and the privilege it has been to serve Him these many years. Sam looks great, if somewhat older. But then, aren’t we all? Mark is a judge in Indiana. John works with a church in Japan. And Sam is involved in the church in Michigan where his son-in-law Tim VanLoh serves on the pastoral staff. What a great gift Mark and John are giving to their father each week. And what a great reminder of the fellowship we will share for all eternity at the meeting in the air. We won’t even need Zoom.

CREATIVE MUSIC GROUP

  Imagine the Danish String Quartet’s arrangements of Nordic folk tunes played by a group of musicians in Montana. But wait, you don’t have to use your imagination. There is a group in Montana called Stillwater Strings, which according to violinist Lindsey Selman has been “smitten” with those folk tune arrangements. And that’s only a part of what they enjoy. They revel in the classics such as Debussy’s Claire de Lune . Their repertoire includes Latin music, traditional music, and Jazz standards, such as Cole Porter’s You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To. These beautiful arrangements are played at weddings in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and Idaho. They have performed at the Strawberry Festival in Billings, Montana, and at non-profit events for groups such as LaVie, an early pregnancy center, and Family Services. They’ve been included in concerts with the Billings Symphony, Rocky Mountain College, and the Yellowstone Chamber Players. Stillwater Strings began as a traditional str...
