With the new album now available online -
our office has been receiving some
encouraging responses.Tim Fellowes from
Canterbury Vineyard church, wrote the
following which succinctly describes
the direction of "People of Promise":

"people of all ages respond to these
types of songs because they are easy
to sing, they flow and lift the spirits.
They also create a sense of
comunity and people can sing them
at home"

A key theme of the album is our sense of
"togetherness" in worship and how
important it is that the elements of
participation rather than just performance
are embedded in any act that we offer
to God.We're looking
forward to sharing these songs live over
the country in the coming months!
Check out the tourdates section for
the latest on where we'll be leading
worship.



This year's Global Day of Prayer event has just taken
place at Millwall Football stadium. What a great day

prayer from the many thousands gathered. Pat was
once again leading the GDOP Choir as well as being

Tsunami Concert

What a great night. £1180 so far has been
raised with money still coming in. This
will be such a blessing to our contacts
on the ground in Sri Lanka who really
need our practical support at this time. God TV came and filmed the evening
which will be used as part of their own
Tsunami appeal. In the next few weeks
you should be able to see the concert
for yourself on your TV screens. Songs were also recorded for a new
album that I will be putting out in the
Spring, a whole collection of new songs
recorded live that I hope touches and
encourages many to make our worship
practical.
