Churches Together in Wisbech Christian Aid Service

Members of The King's Church Wisbech were glad to be part of the inter-denominational service to mark the start of Christian Aid week on Sunday that was attended by 60 people. It was hosted by the Salvation Army although various churches took charge of certain sections of the service ranging from St. Peters (Church of England), the URC, the Salvation Army and our church also led a section. A brass band led most of the sung worship while our band joined with the Salvation Army worship band and played three songs in our 'style' of music which had the congregation joining in and had a few feet tapping! It was good to hear about the work of Christian Aid through the decades as they celebrate 70 years as an organisation. An offering was also taken for the future work of Christian Aid.

Speak Brother at After Hours Live

Speak Brother were the special guests at After Hours Live on Friday 8 May. They brought some top-quality  music for us all to enjoy which had a distinctive modern folk sound (think Mumford and Sons) - so much so, we were happy to have had them along before they get famous! Remember - you heard them here first!

They played a lovely mixture of songs that talked about the joy and pain of life as well as sharing a little about their faith journey with Jesus. The majority of the songs were originals, however they ended with a great, uplifting number made famous by the Ice Age movie called 'Come My Way'.
Find our more about Speak Brother on their website.

June sees a completely new venture for After Hours Live, as we will be hosting an evening of classical music. Jacob Keet, a very accomplished violinist and member of the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra is our special guest. However he is bringing numerous musical friends with him including accordion players and a couple of choirs too! So get there early to get a good seat!
