The Philadelphia Eleven
  Produced and directed by Margo Guernsey and Time Travel Productions, this film tells a story that continues to resonate today as women seeking ordination continue to face resistance, disrespect and exclusion from roles reserved by men for men. The documentary explores the lives of these remarkable women who succeeded in transforming an age-old institution despite the threats to their personal safety and the risk of rejection by the church they loved. (This is still a controversial issue today and worth examining to stay informed in our thinking.)

David Raybuck, Alternative Rock Artist
  Alternative rock musician David Raybuck released a powerful new single, "He Knows YourName," on November 1, 2023. This spiritually charged song offers solace and hope to those grapplingwith the weight of suicidal thoughts. "He Knows Your Name" is not just a song; it's a lifeline, a messageof love, and a reminder of the intrinsic worth every individual possesses.Inspired by the profound words of Psalm 139, which declare that we are wonderfully made and knownby God, this song encourages listeners to call on God for salvation and freedom from hopelessness. In aworld where far too many people believe they are a worthless and meaningless accident, DavidRaybuck offers a compelling counter-narrative found in scripture: that God is the one who createdyou, and he did not make a mistake by doing so.“He Knows Your Name” is the latest example of David Raybuck’s unconventional use ofsecular-sounding music with lyrics that point people to God. Emotive melodies are woven togetherwith styles reminiscent of influential artists like Ryan Adams, Coldplay, and Tom Petty to create anexperience that is both catchy and unique. "I am very excited about this song because I believe God isgoing to use it to save lives, both physically and spiritually," says David Raybuck.(Check into the other songs David is releasing throughout the months in 2024. Check on Spotify or SoundCloud) David Raybuck David Raybuck is the prodigal singer-songwriter of spiritual alt-rock for music freaks, and he is on amission to help people encounter their Creator through music. With far too much generic and darkmusic in the world, David wants to reach the ears of music lovers who are stirred by original songs withundeniable beauty and creativity. He draws from the influences of incredible artists like Radiohead,The Beatles, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ween, Led Zeppelin, Elliot Smith, Supergrass, Air,Failure and many others to create music that is catchy yet unique, with flavorings of alternative rock,folk, grunge, & Americana that sound nothing like what people would expect from “Christian music”.While David is relatively new to the independent music scene at the age of 42, he has been writingmusic since his teenage years. In his youth, his musical efforts were selfishly motivated and led himdown a destructive path. But after rejecting Christianity for most of his life, David realized the error ofhis ways in his early 30s and is now dedicated to serving God and sharing his life-changing messagewith others.David lives with his wife Lindsay near Cleburne, Texas just south of Fort Worth, and he is a father ofseven children, pastor at a local church, and professional computer nerd. In the limited amount oftime these roles have spared him, he has continued to write a lot of music over the years, and now it isfinally time to spread it. David produced his debut 14-song album, The Prodigal, in his modest homestudio in 2022. Showbiz Now Magazine called it “one of the most idiosyncratic songwritingcollections released in recent memory as well as one of the finest gospel-themed albums in thelast quarter century.” David is currently working on his second album and is committed to releasingmuch more work in the future by drawing from new inspiration and over two decades of unfinished material.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidRaybuckMusicianInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.raybuck/YouTube:: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9TnXx2Vx6OOCRnjccARp1A
