Last week the Montevallo Baptist Campus Ministry hosted "Common Ground," a night of music and coffee. The night featured a variety of local music artists playing anything from country music to Brittney Spears.

The BCM organizes Common Ground once every semester, and welcome anyone to attend or perform. The event is a great place to hear local talent from around the area's bustling music scene.

Students relax and enjoy the music

 Connor Weide, a musician and an organizer of the event, says the event's purpose was "For us to have an outreach event. We do a lot of in-reach, and thats key. We have to have fellowship with eachother... If someone loves music, we can unite with them and share the Gospel with them."
