UPDATE: Well, apparently Wichita has failed Shaun Groves once again. The Dove Award-nominated soft rock star, prolific blogger, Compassion speaker and my best friend is no longer scheduled to come to Wichita. If anyone knows of a church or venue that is interested in bringing him in for free (the tour is sponsored by Compassion) next Spring, shoot me an email.

As you likely guessed from my clever headline, Shaun Groves, the Dove Award-nominated soft rock star, prolific blogger, Compassion speaker and my best friend (I’m not entirely sure he’s aware of this particular distinction), is NOT coming to Wichita. What you can’t glean from my headline is when and where. So read on for that information.

Ok. Thanks for continuing. Shaun is NOT coming Thursday, Sept. 18 to Riverlawn Church (click here for a map).

Shaun has been to Wichita before and, apparently, this town boasts among the smallest crowds of anywhere he travels. I would like to change this trend, and edge out Des Moines, Iowa for next to last place*.

If you’re unfamiliar with his music, be sure to stop by his site and have a listen. It will be worth your while.

Hope to see you there.

*I can neither deny nor confirm the small size of Des Moines Iowa’s turnout for Shaun Groves concerts. But come on, it’s Des Moines!
