100 TENTS AND MORE AT THE GATHERING
Yes we've just sold our 100th tent. This means that we are beginning to make headway in achieving our target of 10,000 people to attend the National Gathering at Ingliston 3-4 May 2008. The word is starting to get out around the churches and I'm hearing every day about another congregation that has decided to buy a tent or rent a bus to bring a group from their church to be represented. Thinking about The National Gathering today reminded me of a song I recorded a few years back called, " The Gathering Time". We wrote it with the image of the recruiting sargent, riding into a town or a village and inviting young men to sign up for the cause. If you took the King's shilling, that was you . You had entered into a contract to fight in his army. the contract usually lasted about seven years.Today the CWW has its own recruiting team all over the country inviting congregations to sign up and be part of something that will make an impact on our nation. I'll tell you more about "The National Gathering" over the next few days. meanwhile have a listen to "The Gathering Time "

Oh I like that version of your song, acoustic with a bit of reverb and Iain harmonising. You should use that as the NG theme tune
