New worship music CD in top 10!

Yesterday a friend posted on Facebook that the debut Worship Central live album - which has been released internationally, is making history in the UK as the first worship album to achieve an iTunes top ten position. It is currently at No. 9!

When I went to find out more (see here) I discovered that at no. 10 is the Beatles CD "1". So it is official. A worship CD is outselling the Beatles. Okay John, who is more famous now?

Art during church?

A few weeks ago we had 6 baptisms at the morning service of the church I attend. I was asked to do art during the service as part of the worship experience. Here is what happened...

The people at the end were selecting images that represented either things they had been set free from or things they had been set free into through new life in Christ. One person picked a penguin. I am still trying to figure that one out!

Big Church Day Out: 10,000 people came together a week ago for a day of praise and worship near Loughborough in England. Great to see so many people worshipping Jesus at once. Of course in Nigeria you can go to Christian events where over a million people regularly attend. So while the Big Church Day Out was tiny by comparison. Still a fun day out though!
