Common Language, Common People, Extraordinary Message Koiné is a Greek word that means “common.” They play common instruments and common hymns that many know and enjoy. The only extraordinary thing about Koiné and what they do is the message that they proclaim through the music they play. It’s the same message of the Bible – Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
Koiné Music Ministries is a non-profit ministry whose main source of support is the generosity of local churches and WELS members like you. Koiné Music Ministries has partnered with Wisconsin Lutheran College and Martin Luther College as they share the mission and purpose of each institution through their many travels. For more information about either school, visit their websites: www.wlc.edu and www.mlc-wels.edu.
Throughout the year Koiné travels to 200 churches, schools, and events across the United States. From Seattle to Miami and everywhere in between, Koiné travels to share God’s saving message through music. In addition to playing concerts and services, Koiné serves the church by making their music available on recordings, sheet music, and non-vocal CDs, which are often used by grade school and Sunday school teachers to teach hymns to children.
For up-to-date information on Koiné and to see their latest schedule, find Koiné on facebook and visit www.koinemusic.com.

tic ability to create his favorite
thing—monsters! Logan is a sec-

third place and the boy’s came away with second
place.
Players in grades 4-6 played in the BBBB----Frozen Frozen Frozen Frozen
Tournament Tournament Tournament Tournament at St. John’s of Lake City. Both teams
came away with second place.
Our final home game was against St. Paul’s of
Cannon Falls on February 20. There was a special
atmosphere amidst! We watched our outstanding
players work the court, the cheerleaders got peo-
ple on their feet, and a St. John’s pep band got the
crowd in a fun mood! We thank everyone that
made the game extra-special!!
At press time we are heading to Martin Luther
College in New Ulm, Minnesota, for the basket-
ball tournament there. Not only do we have the
opportunity to play on the
courts, but it is a marvelous
time for fellow-
ship and fun!
GO!
