Yesterday we had the first youth band practice. I decided on four songs to do - Blessed be your name, Better than life, Shine for you, and From the inside out. Four singers came, a drummer, and an acoustic guitarist. We practiced 'better than life' and 'blessed be your name', which went pretty well.
I'm hoping to get a bassist, keyboard player, and another guitarist here next week, so we can work on the music part of it more.

Hi Chris
Bet you cant believe this me on a computer, I'm worse than your Mum. I'ts great to read all you are doing, it sounds like you are having a wonderful time. We miss you on Sunday's but it's so inspiring to hear how the church is working in N.C. The band are having practices for the service in December and the service is planned it sounds great with lots happenning. Give my love to the Millers and I hope Jordan is better. That was'nt to bad I will try again.Lots of love from Mo.
That was not me who got it wrong it was Ray (bert)perhaps it should have said berk
Glad you've got going with the band. I thing this will be someting you'll really enjoy.
Maybe you should forget about the new style service and organise some I.T. lessons for the over 40s.
Do you need another singer ?
You know I'm just going to call Mo Bert from now on...
Ok. I'm going to try my best not to make any silver surfer errors here, come on girls (and Ray), who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks....if we can multi task then surely we can do this blogging thing - successfully!
It's really great hearing about all you're getting up to Chris. You're sure having an awesome time!
Still waiting for the Barney photos...mind you there are people I know who when they heard you were dressing up as "Barney" thought you were going to be a cuddly purple dinosaur!!
Remeber to do some recordings of the youth band so we can all listen when you get back.
Bert / Mo - blonde and hairdresser, -need I say more?
Sounds really good what you're doing Chris. Hope it all goes according to plan. Get someone to video what you're up to(Given that you've not lost the camera!!)
Not bad for a balding silver surfer!!!
Why is Ray called Bert?
Great to hear what you are doing Chris. I bet you are glad the band has now started and i know you will do a good job in leading them.
Where are the Barney photo's? You know there are an awful lot of people who would like to see them....only because they are interested in what you are up to!!!
And listen to your father and video the band and other things you are doing.
Give our love to the Millers, big hug for Jordon.
It's the Christmas Fayre at church on Saturday, let me know what you want and i'll have a word with Father Christmas for you being as you won't be able to go this year!!!
Love ya x
Will they be selling cars at the fayre...? *wink wink, nudge nudge*
There's one car for sale at the fayre, it's sort of red with a few cosmetic alterations to one or two pannels.
Its good to hear how you are doing out there in the States. Your Mum was keen to tell me where I could contact you.
Hope your band practice goes well when the new members turn up. Are you learning plenty to bring back and share with the church back here in cold damp crewe.
you'll be glad to know manager that me, charlee, alex and tom got together some songs and it's all looking groovey!! wooo!! me and alex make very good musical directors me thinks!! and gill is giving us the music this week and then we have practise on tuesday and it's our first practise without you!!! how weird is that gonna be?!?!?
anyways sounds like your having a great time!! get Victoria involved!! haha would love to see her play guitar!! would be a right laugh!!
love you and miss you!!

Yeah, I think I'll be bringing quite a bit back to Crewe. Hopefully I'll bring back the weather too!
And you're right, it's only cosmetic, and haven't you taught us before that it's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside David? :D And that's good, it means that I'll have no choice but to buy a new car!
Can anybody video the service? It would be great to see what the band's doing. Hope the practice goes well!
Are you now anonynous Chris. Has this new technology got the better of you. The Silver Surfers can give you lessons if you like. Can't video the service as you have the video camera. (We hope!!)
Dad says it's not a car, it's modern art. He's entering it for the Turner Prize. this is all wonderful fun. Just what God intended. I know he's smiling.

Oh no it's happened again. Sorry, my comments must just be so good they duplicate.
I have access to the "Barney" pictures. How much is it worth? Since I am on a sabbatical and am not working, I could make a good profit on the price bidding war of these pictures between Chris and you folks in Crewe. Smile. --Mother Mary
PS. Jordan is doing fine. We do appreciate all your prayers across the pond. She is back in school and hopefully will be seizure free for a while. Chris has been a good "big brother" with his patience and compassion. Yep, that's right, he has a lot of compassion. Ask Chris how he is using his cooking skills to cheer up our family. --Mother Mary, again
I have some Barney Rubble photos in my possession - I think they will look good on the big screen at church!
I don't think they will...
Yabba dabba doo!
Oh they will!
Can't wait!!!!!
We're soooo sorry about Chris' new hair style. We tried to talk him out of it but he insisted that if he was going to be "Barney Rubble," he should look authentic. But don't worry mum and dad. The hair salon tech said that his hair color should be back to normal in a few months.
That salon did a great job.....Chris really suits a blonde bob style, and they did an even more spectacular job on Doug....they must have spent ages styling his hair to make all those gorgeous curls!!
You're all very mean people...
You're all asking for it, getting dressed up like that! ;o)
Mandy will you stop putting your comments on twice. Mine can't even get on once! Hi Chris! Sent a comment yesterday and it's disappeared today! You are definitely needed for the I.T. lessons. Keep on having a great time.
