EXOUSIA means power!_
This Power - full event has
been in the planning stages
for sometime now. When
the date was confirmed, we
had no idea another
powerful event the
tornado- was on its way.
Now, with so much
destruction and devastation
within and surrounding the
town of Goderich, we
believe EXOUSIA 2011 is a
Divine appointment
People need hope.
The residents of Goderich
and surrounding area have
been suffering economically
and now, the town itself is
suffering the. extensive
damage from the storm.
Many, in the Goderich area
need a break from the
heaviness they are currently
feeling. Music with a
message that God is still
working is uplifting to the
spirit. _EXOUSIA 2011 is all
about hope. With a flare for
the younger crowd, .the.
Zine -up offers music and
dance -- both with a message
of hope for all ages. It's food
for the soul._
Come out and take a
break. Invite one of the
many volunteers who have
been working round the
clock to restore services
within Goderich and the
surrounding areas. There
is no charge to attend the
festival. Volunteers will be
taking donations toward the
disaster: relief fund.___
