Guests enjoy a musical and art filled evening in Saint Jo.
(Top) Vocalist and keyboardist Alyssa Reynolds performs in Saint Jo. Reynolds, who is from Sanger, also works as a vocal coach. Reynolds’ debut CD came out last year, titled “Unveiled.” All tips and donations from Friday night’s event went to support a ministry founded and ran by Christian singer Michael W. Smith called Rocketown in Nashville, TN. The show was an art and music event at Martus Bookstore & Jahve Haus in Saint Jo showcasing art by Johnny Bone, Marietta, OK.
Artist Johnny Bone, who hails from Marietta, OK., showed off several pieces on Friday at Martus Bookstore & Jahve Haus in Saint Jo. Bone works mainly with charcoal on paper and oil on canvas media. Bone (right) discusses his art with a patron during his art show on Friday. At the far right is his oil-and-canvas work titled, “The Rancher.”

It was the deadliest terror attack to ever take place on U.S. soil. On Sept. 11, 2001, conspirators from the al-Qaida Muslim militant group seized control of jets to use them as passenger-filled missiles, hitting the trade center’s twin towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane was headed for Washington but crashed near Shanksville after crew members and passengers tried to storm the cockpit.
The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, reconfigured national security policy and spurred a U.S. “war on terror” worldwide.
Today marks the 23rd remembrance of this heart-breaking day that changed America. Please take a moment today to thank those who ran into the buildings and fires, and remember those who did not return home that day.
