AG: AfterGlow @ Ty Tawe 2

Come upstairs to the Ty Tawe's gig venue for the next AfterGlow on Sunday, July 25th from 5 to 7pm.

We'll have lots of songs and music to share worship together. Afterwards you're welcome to just hang out and relax for chat (drinks and biscuits etc) or even have a game of pool.

We'd love to see you there, and of course it's all free!

AG: Archive - Freedom (video)

This blog is still a work in progress, so I thought this video would be a good way to test out how we can share videos in the future.

From February this year, some of the team thought it would be interesting to interview some members of our local to church to help illustrate the theme 'Freedom'. Each person was simply asked to share their thoughts on the phrases:

"Jesus has given me freedom from..." and "Jesus has given me freedom to...".

(It was our first video so please excuse sound and picture problems - the standard will get higher... honest ;) )

Easter by Bjorn Amundsen

Thanks to fellow twitter SaintBeagle sharing this video on his blog, I thought I'd share it with you here. It's a stunningly powerful video using motion typography to illustrate a wonderful poem by Sharon Irving. If you want to use this video in any of your own Church or worship services then you can buy it here (new version including a music soundtrack)

A visual manifestation of Sharon Irving's poetry.

Worship Central site

A couple weeks ago Jon, Duane and Chris were lucky enough to attend Worship Centrals mini conference in London. They have come back full of ideas and inspiration to share a new level of worship experience with everyone. Worship central's website is now being updated with the talks and songs from the conference, check it out to see if you can find similar inspiration. (click image)

Hopefully one of the guys will share their experience on this blog soon. Until then we're just enjoying practicing new songs together ready to lead worship at the Celtic Missions Easter weekend at Hebron Hall. We're really looking forward to it!

Lyrical Theology with Shai Linne

An update has been a long time coming I know, but I hope this video makes up for it. Thanks to the wonderful serendipity of Twitter, I found this through a fellow tweeter who I found locally (http://twitter.com/saintbeagle). I'm only just finding out about Shai Linne and his hip hop ministry. He has a few albums released and so far it seems that they match the quality of this song. This song is so eloquent and sums up nearly everything that we're trying to learn through living with Jesus.

Poem: Not me!

This is a poem by Dionne Williams AKA Poetical Princess that I mentioned this morning in Bible study. This poem is about not letting our environment dictate who we are and what we allow ourselves to become. *The video includes some disturbing images, adding to the power of the words.

Afterglow5 - See you there!

Starting at 5pm at Swansea Seventh day Adventist Church, 55 Gower Rd. Sketty Cross. Hopefully you''ll notice these pumpkins :)

What A Glorious Day

Okay here i go my first blog :] wewp (:
So here's my plan I'm going to talk about afterglow :) This amazing musical worship service which I enjoy so much (: It's quite new to us all but i find it's gone really well :D
One of my favorite songs would have to be "The Greatest Day in History" also known as "Happy Day". It's such a good song :] Catchy and got a good beat to it :) See check out the chorus!
♪♫ "Oh happy day
Happy day
You wash my sin away
Oh happy day
Happy day
I'll never be the same
Oh no
Forever I am changed" ♪♫


sound cool or what?!
Well that's my favorite song for you :) 
I must say to me afterglow is something I'm excited about all the time. basically everyday I think to myself afterglow in *whichever amount of days it is*. I just feel so happy at the actual thing as well. It's nice to be with a group of people singing songs and basically being together :) one thing I've noticed is that when I'm there and we're singing I stop in the middle of a song just to put a huge grin on my face! Haha it's random i guess but I actually enjoy it that much! if I feel this happy about it I'm sure a lot of people would feel the same way!
You can come join us on Saturday to check it out. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Worship Central Experience

Check out this tour diary video from their website: WorshipCentral.org
This update is a bit late sorry. A few of us were blessed on Thursday night by being able to attend the worship at City Temple, Swansea. It was a special evening with Tim Hughes and his band leading out in new songs to many of us, sharing the experience with hundreds of other youth from across South Wales. In between the all the music and singing Tim Hughes and his friend Ben Cantleton Al Gordon gave an inspiring talk about creativity. In the end, everyone left the experience in no doubt that God wants us all to use whatever skills we have to be creative, so that every church can be a creative hub for their community - sharing the Gospel to everyone, and showing what an uplifting and wonderful experience living with Jesus really is.

What if Starbucks Marketed like a Church?

We hope your experience of church isn't like this parable. Some important lessons for us all since it's so easy to lose sight of what the Church is really for. Who wants coffee? :)

New Jesus movie - join the movement!
