January – december 2012

It was a turbulent year. Still a lot of little things to do as result of the merge of our CNV Kunstenbond with CNV Vakmensen. After that a great relief for Leen and Ria, who had turned 65 in 2011. Now Leen and Ria could concentrate on other important things like:
-launching new websites:
www.continentalsound.org  with all documents and history of the organizations since the start in 1969
www.continentalministries.org with all history and publications of The Continental Singers, Young Continentals, Continental Kids, Wings of Light, New Hope, etc. And GREAT NEWS: all the LP’s of the Continentals were remastered as CD’s and can be ordered now.
www.christelijkekunst.org  a website about members active in any form of ‘christian’ arts: dancers, musicians, choirs, visuals artists, writers, etc
www.continentalart.org a website about our cultural centre
Other activities: a new theme for the Continentals, the Christian Artists Seminar for the 2nd time in Germany, and several books of Leen La Rivière were published in English, German, French.
And: more time became available for speaking and teaching and lector engagements.
Ria has, besides her work at the Continental Art Centre, which is now a part time job, a great job at her shop in fashion and art: Chez Maria, Rotterdam. All info can be found on www.chezmaria.nl.
