"Reaching out for God with love and
encouragement"
Open Air Service
On Sunday 8th June 2008, Churches Together enjoyed a
service in the Abbey Fields. The University of Warwick Brass Society
and a worship band provided the music for the congregation that had
gathered on the site of the old Abbey Church. Jester Jim the clown
illustrated the
bible reading with volunteer children. The Scouts lead prayers with balloons being released
with each to symbolise our prayers going out to the world around us. The
service concluded with the receiving of bread and wine and the singing
of more hymns before everyone turned towards the town and prayed for our
wider community and each other. The service was followed by a picnic in
the glorious sunshine and welcome shade of the trees in Abbey Fields.
