APRIL 3RD

Hey all!!

At the moment we're back in the office, replying to fan mail, etc, but wow, did we have a busy weekend!!! First, on Saturday morning we left for our concert in Frinton-on-Sea, which, for the U.S.er's reading this, is south-eastern England, right on the North Sea! It was a lovely town, very quaint, and the sea was beautiful!! (We snuck out of the venue right after soundcheck for a quick 10-minute walk on the beach!) The event was called S:ence, and it was excellent! So a big thank you to those of you who were there!! You were a great crowd!

After that concert, since it was over 5 hours away, we got home at about 6:00am!! We were just shattered! So, needless to say, we slept 'til noon, and then needed to be at the Apollo Theatre in Manchester at 2:30 for a soundcheck for the next event we were involved with which was called Planet Life. That was just awesome! The theme for the night was "Too close for comfort: They left everything and followed Jesus." So it was just incredible to get to be a part of challenging the youth to step out of their comfort zones and give God their all!! The Tribe (used to be World Wide Message Tribe) host Planet Life every month, so it was great to get to be involved in this month's event with them! Thank you LOADS to the fab audience who were there! Thanks for your support! We hope that you walked away from that night challenged!!

We've recently finished our last bit of choreography for the album!! YAY!! The final song to finish was "Best Friends," and it's quite cool because we dance with chairs for part of it! We've been itching to do a chair dance for ages now! So we're really thrilled!

Sharnessa's new devotional is now up at our website, so please check it out! As well as the previous ones if you haven't had a look at them yet. We have also included a short video footage in the devotional section, so please have a look there!!!

Here are a few letters from people letting us know what they think of the devotionals:

***************
"Lucy and Sharnessa-

THANKS soooooooooooooooo much for the V*Enna devotional! I loooooove Jesus with all my heart - and I wanted a way to praise him and spend time with him! Now I know what has been lacking in my days with Jesus! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! You guys are life-savers!

ALWAYS AND FOREVER-
Lindsay"

"Dear Sharnessa & Lucy,

Hello! How are you? I wanted to tell you that I think your devotionals are real encouraging. The one about "Hold On" to that positive attitude. I always try to handle things my way, not God's. But that devotion helped me realize that I need God to handle things. I can't handle things on my own. You really encouraged me.

You do a great job on your music. God gave you a wonderful gift. Singing is my favorite thing to do. I love it so much. I sing on my worship team at church. You guys do a wonderful job! Good luck on your tour! God bless you!

Thanx!
Joy"

"I love the Devotional you sent for March 19. It really showed me that I need to dig into God (Jesus) more. It really touched me, and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You guys are really showing me a lot of cool (good) things through just your newsletter. I always look forward to mail from you guys.

I will be praying for you guys,

Allie
One of your biggest fans!"

So there you have it!! Thank you so much for writing in, guys! It does mean loads to us when you take the time to do that, because it's tremendously encouraging for us to know what God's doing through what we put out there and what we do! And please know you all are more than welcome to write us as well and let us know what you're thinking!

Starting this Friday we will be in Minehead, England for an event called "Spring Harvest." We're quite excited about this, and will be there for 10 days (7th-17th) leading the 8-11 year-old groups, doing one-off songs, a bit of teaching, doing concerts, etc! To those of you who will be there, we're so looking forward to it!

Well, until next time, you guys take care of yourselves! And remember to live each day with the "3 P's"! Be Passionate for Jesus and those around you, be Productive wherever He's planted you, and walk in His Purity!! Give Him everything, guys! He deserves nothing less! Let's run with Him with wild abandon!!! Later!

Loads of Love from Your Sistas in Him,

Sharnessa & Lucy
