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)

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!

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.

Worship notes

I hope you can gain something from this collection of thoughts on 'worship' collected together by Duane (click on the image to read the notes). To start the new 'afterglow' worship service we've tried to go back to basics of what 'worship' and 'praise' really mean, through studying the Bible and keeping these thoughts in mind. As always we're all continually learning together, and are trying to  make the best of any talent we have. We would love for you join us on this journey by taking part in the next 'afterglow' service, 6pm on Oct. 3rd at Swansea SdA Church.
