The group recorded two songs in
March and then returned to the stu-
dio later this year to cut several
more songs to complete the album.
"Our songs, like David's in the
Psalms, are the crying out of our
souls and offer hope to those going
through similar situations," Ms.
Stewart explains. "' We speak out to
share with others the gospel that is
real and true."

a four -member troupe from Nova
Scotia which weaves elements of
vaudeville, silent film comedy, tra-
ditional mime and everyday life to
develop a style of gymnastic theatre

Routines that the group includes
in its repertoire are: glimpses of a
babysitter who somehow misplaces
her Tittle charges in the amidst of
having her friends over for a party;
a chimpanzee in the kitchen or how
to behave in church — from a
child's eye. "Jest in Time" is guar-
anteed to have audiences of all ages
spellbound.
