Agape Singers - God's Love On Tour - Ireland 2007

The Agape Singers is the high school choir of University Presbyterian Church - Rochester Hills, Michigan. "Agape" is a Greek word used in the New Testament to signify the love that Jesus taught. Agape was chosen as its name as the word reflects our mission: The Agape Singers are loving, caring people, united with a purpose to glorify God through song, inform all God's people about God's love, spread the word of God through song, and inspire love, hope and passion for faith in God.

4/18 - an email from Corrymeela's David Price....

Dear all!

I just got a great email from Chris Smith and a link to the blog. It is fantastic.

I hope that you are all safe and well. Relaxed from your plane journey. (recovered from your extreme leap frog!). Reflective and energised.

It’s great to read all your comments about Ireland and to see how wonderful a time you all had. After you left on Friday myself, Christian and Niki went for ice-cream to talk about you guys and what we thought of our experience with you.

We all had such a positive time with you and all of us were sad to see you go. Especially Christian. I think you were his favourite group so far. I hope to keep in contact with you and please do so with us.

You never know, one day you might return!!

Peace and warm thoughts

David

(and one more note from a Corrymeela staff member to the Agape Singers and leaders):

"Thanks also for your email, Chris.

I had an amazing time with you guys. I'm glad to hear that you made it home safely, but do come back sometime. I'm still keeping my eye out for those rugby players of yours :)

Peace,

Niki "

The Agape Singers are planning a peacemaking choir mission tour to Ireland, April 8-16. Our stops will include the Corrymeela Centre at Ballycastle. Located on the northern Antrim coast, Corrymeela is "an ecumenical community of Christians committed to a shared future, peace and reconciliation; a community that welcomes people of all faiths and none, and from all backgrounds, traditions and cultures." During our time at Corrymeela, the Agape Singers will rehearse, participate in a day-long orientation and peacemaking workshop, sing our first concert in Ireland, as well as make day trips to Belfast and the Giants' Causeway. There will also be time for soccer, exploring the lovely town of Ballycastle, and enjoying the seaside air and scenery. For more information on Corrymeela, visit their website at www.corrymeela.org. Other stops along the way will be: Belfast, Dublin, Cookstown, the Book of Kells at Trinity University, among many other activities. This blog is in it's formative stages and we'll have much more information on it as the departure date draws closer - and all the time during the trip. Check back for updates (through cyberspace from our intrepid travelers) in text and pictures.
