On Thursday 7th January, our books were delivered from our printer Ligare to our two storage facilities (thanks Nita and Jacqui!). Since then, we've sold over 1200 books, which shows the excitement and thirst that our community has for their own praise music. Many have said that they couldn't wait to get home and play through the book, and Wellington bible camp have even said that they will be the first to use an orange book song as their camp song - we hope they have a great week!

Last week, we had the Australian Christadelphian conference in Sydney and attempted to sightread the entire book within 5 hours. It was never going to be achievable as there's over 7 hours of music in the book, but we did get through 68 songs, which I think is some sort of Christadelphian record! 

During the conference, many of the orange book songs were played, including: Precious promises, Now is the time, Whatever is true, God's mercy, God's tapestry, Son of man, Worship the Lord, He has died, Love the Lord, Listen, Good shepherd. 

We were also asked a few times as to whether the purple book will be reprinted. At this stage, it won't be because of copyright issues. We would also need a minimum of 500 pre-orders to reprint. 

Over and out for now!

Exciting announcement! We will be recording Worship 2 and we need a confident choir to help us do this. Each piece will be recorded exactly as per the sheet music published in Worship 2 so that ecclesial musicians can have a reliable resource to help them learn new pieces of music. 

The Worship Book Choir will meet regularly to learn the choral works in Worship 2. There are many pieces to cover, so choristers need to have sight-singing skills and be able to learn repertoire quickly. No background training in vocals is needed. Timetabling, including recording dates, will be made once the choir has been assembled. 

If you feel that this is a project for you, we would love to hear from you! Please follow this link to fill in the application form.
