Thursday 4/12 update from AGAPE SINGERS' BLOG CENTRAL....

Greetings. Thanks for checking in to our blog and passing the link on to friends and families - literally all over the world!

We're getting hits from the USA, of course, but also Canada, the UK, Portugal, Brazil, Sweden, Dubai, France, and I just noticed ones this morning from Denmark, Taiwan and India. (it's fun to check on where people are checking in from - go to the bottom of the Blog and click on SITEMETER, then click on BY LOCATION at the upper left)

The University Presbyterian Church Agape Singers "God's Love on Tour 2007" is WORLDWIDE!

I uploaded a bunch of new messages, pictures, and even a video with a rehearsal of the "Not Whitebread Quartet/Quintet" singing a great gospel classic that they've performed for us at UPC......as the camera pans you'll get a chance to see the faces of a number of our group members and leaders. (A reminder that you can ENLARGE the pictures by clicking on them)

Keep the comments coming - the Ireland group is reading them and enjoying them.

I'll end this post with a picture that sums up the trip.......PEACE....

4/12 update from Chris Smith....

"Because of need of sleep the blog updaters don't have their updates written yet, but I will send some pics.

One update you can do though includes a couple shout-outs:

"From the Agape Singers, we wish Alicia Munro a happy birthday!"

and

"From Mom and the Agape Singers, happy birthday to Steven William Book!"


So we went to the Glens of Antrim, and saw the most beautiful scenery yet. After spending the day there we came back, ate, and performed an 'intimate' concert with some people at the small worship space at Corrymeela called "The Croi" (the cree) We topped off the late night with a walk down the incredible beach to Ballycastle to stop at the best fish and chips shack in town! It was amazing...

Alicia and Mike and Chris Griffin will have more detailed updates probably by tonight.

Love,

Chris"

And here's some commentary from 4/10 from Andrew Baker as they visited the rope bridge and the Giant's Causeway:

"This morning we just made our own Celtic Cross. For mine, I used sharpies. Each color represents us just like a family so I just wanted some MEANING behind it.
This afternoon we went to visit Giant's Causeway, Carry-A-Rede Rope bridge.

So in the words of the Old Irish Blessing: "May God hold you in the palm of his hand". Wow!"

Thursday 4/12 update - Jack and Mary Irvine surprised the singers at Corrymeela on Tuesday morning!
