If anybody is monitorng my Facebook status they will have noticed that I have been a little busy and overwhelmed of late. Here is an idea of why…

Friday
After a typical day at work it was time to start the weekend. I did this in style by going and stewarding at a Collective concert again in Wootton Bassett. It was a fun evening with very little trouble, even when the older kids turned up around 9.00 and the atmosphere changed. At the end they had a decent response from the youth and six children gave their lives to God.

Saturday
After a long snooze to recover from the night before it was time to start. First off was the last meeting between myself and Gemma to pray for our Alpha group. We have got together every week and as Sunday is the very last session it was sad to have it come to an end.

This was followed by a swift drive through the flooded roads to Purton to meet up with my small group for a ”Christmas” gathering. I spent most of the time playing on a Playstation and beating the younger children. It sounds mean but they did beat me on the first go!

Then, to cap off the evening, it was into my shirt and black tie to run the PA for our church’s youth’s Christmas party. This is actually still going on as I write this (they’re eating so I thought I’d make use of myself!)

Sunday
Now this hasn’t happened yet but I can still talk about what is happening tomorrow!

As usual for a Sunday it is church which will take up my morning. This will be followed by the very last Alpha session of this course. It has been an interesting three months and I’m looking forward to writing about all that I have seen God do and what God has done with me through it.

Then it is back to work on Monday. Although it my last week before I start my Christmas break. Yippee!!!

I love Collective concerts. I don’t know if it is because I know the band members quite well or if it is because if one of them is in my small group. All I know is that when they start singing and dancing I get a big smile on my face.

So, when I heard they were going to be doing a mini-performance at my church in front of all of the small groups I got very excited! They only got a 15 minute slot which gave them enough time for three songs and a little bit of talking about who they are and what they do but it was great. The best bit was they got the entire room on their feet clapping and dancing along.

Their next concert is in Stroud next Friday but I can’t be there to steward as I am taking some friends to Heathrow airport but I should be around for their final concert of the year in Wootton Bassett in December. I can’t wait!

On Wednesday night I found myself at the Carling Academy in Bristol watching Tree63 and Delirious? live. It’s funny because I bought my ticket ages ago when I had no idea who Tree63 were and was very into some Delirious albums. Come the gig though I had recently borrowed some Tree63 albums so I knew evey song they were performing and thought they were fantastic. When it came to Delirious? though I found myself getting bored very quickly. Even when they did some songs I knew very well I just couldn’t get into them as much as I got into Tree63.

I came to the conclusion that Delirious? are a very good album band with Mission Bell and Kingdom of Comfort two of their best. Tree63 however were fantastic live and really got the crowd going after finding them very quiet to start with. I must buy their latest: Sunday as it really has some excellent tracks on it.

It was good to see Delirious? live before they stopped touring for good but I wouldn’t go and see them again. I would go and see Tree63 again though and they should be the main act next time!
