Here's another look at a rehearsal at Corrymeela early in the week of the men's quartet (Matt, Mike, Nick, and Chris). We have a shorter version posted earlier on the blog - due to the size of the file and emailing. Now - here's the "Special Edition - Director's Cut"

4/22/07 - an email from Belfast!
Hi all you singers!
Greetings from Cregagh in Belfast on this your first Sunday back in Rochester Hills. Last weekend we were particularly remembering you as you sang in Christ Church Cathedral and then in Adelaide Road Presbyterian Church and we will remember you today as you join with your church family back home again.
We hope that you enjoyed your time in Ireland and learnt something about our strange history and culture, but also something of the Christian faith that has kept so many of us going through very dark days. Politically the light is beginning to shine here. Please pray for us that the light of peace will grow brighter and gradually include everyone here in its rays. We in turn will pray for you, your church and community, and your nation as we have follwed the tragic events of the last week in Virginia.
I said at the end of the concert in Cregagh that your congregation should be so proud of the young people in the Agape Singers and I hope someone will pass that message on today. Everyone of our folk who was at the concert was most impressed by your singing but also by the people you were. We are all so glad you were able to include Cregagh in your itinerary.
Hope the mugs made it home in one piece! - you can think of us as you drink your coffee.
Grace and peace.
