Churches
Together in Maidstone United Service
This
Service was held to mark the beginning of the Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity and is now held in three
churches. It began in St Faiths Church with a hymn
the confession, psalm and a second hymn. We then
followed the Salvation Army band, which played well-known
hymns to St Faith’s Church. Here the service
continued with another hymn, Gospel reading, Creed and
intercessions and hymn, We then processed to the
United Reformed Church to the sounds of “Praise my
Soul the King of Heaven” etc. Here we heard
the reading from John 14:1-6 and had a short sermon from
the new Vicar of Loose. We finished with a hymn and
blessing…Tea was available afterwards. I
had the added bonus of walking back to my car accompanied
by the Salvation Army band playing hymns while marching
back to their new Citadel – the only break being for
“Eyes Right” past their old Citadel!! This
was a well attended service, despite the rain, and it was
nice renewing friendships with fellow Christians. As
the preacher said “We all travel on a journey as
Christians but all meet united at the foot of the Cross. Hillary Keane. |
