A JOINT service held to mark a key event in the life of the Church was deemed so successful that organisers are doing it again.
Churches Together in Reading is planning a Pentecost celebration in Christchurch Meadows following on from an event they held last year to mark the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Pentecost is sometimes referred to as the birthday of the church and is when Jesus’ followers started to speak publicly about him.
The service will be held on Sunday, May 28, from 2.30pm, but attendees are invited to bring a picnic to eat before it starts.
Mike Penny, chair of Churches Together in Reading and Berkshire, said: “Last year we had a wonderful Jubilee and Pentecost celebration in Christchurch Meadows, so much so, that we have decided have a Pentecost Praise this year.
“It is being organised by Churches Together in Caversham, with some help from Churches Together in Reading.
“And there will be a Salvation Army Band to help with the singing of well-known and loved hymns and songs.”
