First Bishop's Mission Order
The first ever Bishop's Mission Order formally authorizing a new form of church is being made for Exeter Network Church, a thriving 300 strong group of Christians who meet in a school in the city.

I love this site - it's the most generous resource site I know and jam packed full of quality free downloads - backing tracks, mP3's, chord sheets. The songs are trying to create accessible songs across the generations - I guess they'll sing this kind of stuff in heaven!. Steve Jones feb 2008 http://www.familyworship.org.uk/
