THE NEWS
The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.
The girl, Maria Sue, was hit in the driveway of the family’s home Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother, said Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The brother, whose name and exact age weren’t available, apparently did not see the girl, McPherson said. No charges are expected.
“It looks like a tragic accident,” she said.
Several family members witnessed the accident, which happened in Williamson County just south of Nashville. The girl died later at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, hospital spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said.

Article : Raising the Younger Worship Band
I can’t agree with this article more! How many of you include your young people into your main worship teams/bands?
If you had the choice of having enough resources on your main worship team, would you include the youth band or team with your main? Or would the youth play for their service and the main service have a separate set.
The first week of May saw the “debut” of the Youth Band in the GT Worship Main Service. In fact they took all the three services from Sat to Sun.
I trully believe in raising up the next generation and feel that they have a lot to contribute and to give. Though skills and experience may differ from a the main church worship team, but they too have their own niche.
I believe more important was their hearts of worship. Their passion to serve, their ability to give their talents to God. And it was an amazing blessing that weekend to both the band and the church.
They were totally dedicated and committed to the task, and how many of u remember not being able to sleep, cos u were gonna playing the guitar for service the next day? Remember those first few times?

Song – YESUS by True Worshippers [All Things New]
Right after blogging about the CD Review of ALL THINGS NEW, i couldn’t help myself but to immediately blog about my no.1 fav song from their album …..YESUS!!
The song is such an upbeat song, and its such an excitable song, and the lyrics are just so wonderful!
The chorus basically declares (my translation to English)
Jesus, You’re my best friend
Jesus, You will always be beside me
You are the source of my strength
Jesus, You’re my best friend
Jesus, You never tire beside me
You are the source of my strength
I absolutely love this song, and wish i could have taught it this weekend in church!
CD Review : True Worshippers – All Things New
You gotta get this CD! Really wan!! (or to our International Readers, Seriously… u gotta get this CD!) Its absolutely lovely, anointed, and awesome! I just got my copy from Canaanland on Monday, and as soon as i pop the CD in ….. woo hoo! Love the FIRST SONG!!
If you don’t know True Worshippers, you may know GMB! They are Indonesian Worship Bands! I am glad that the Malaysian language and the Indonesian language is so similar, that we can enjoy the songs that they write. (Similar to how the Swiss French would understand the French!)
Anyway, GMB has sort of been disbanded and the lead singer Sidney Mohede and a few others joined their church’s (Jakarta Praise Community) brand name called True Worshippers.
So now, they have re-branded everything under the TW (True Worshippers) label with the following albums
- TW Live (for the main congregation)
- TW Youth (for youth)
- TW Kiddy (for kids)
TW is HUGE in Indonesia. Each time they do a recording, they have a sold-out stadium! And TW sells 100,000 copies of their main albums globally! Sounds like the Hillsong story eh? Just minus the Conference!
Anyway enough about the history, lets get back to the songs …

First of all thanks to Larry for Guest Blogging on Worship YAY!! I believe we will see more CD Resources being shared here, cos he’s from CanaanLand!!
Yeah we were talking about how cool Michael Battersby was in his new Satisfaction CD. Who does not love jazz? Well, anyway, i was intrigued to see if there were any videos of Michael on YouTube for his new album. Unfortunately there were only old videos.
But this Video caught my attention. Michael Battersby leading worship at his home church, MetroChurch .. and just check out how the entire Worship Team & Band & Choir dance and sing along to this song Everything!
Album Feature: Michael Battersby – Satisfaction
Daren heard about this album and asked me to blog about it. So, here’s an excerpt from our website
…If you like Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble or Frank Sinatra, you’ll love SATISFACTION! This Jazz release combines some of the greatest classic hymns and Gospel choruses with a sophisticated groove of jazz. Good News never sounded so good!
