Hyde Tent Service
The Annual Tent Service held on Harrys Field in Frogham took place on the 28th June, where the marquee was kindly left erected for the church to use following the Frogham Fair on Saturday. There were over 60 people at the service where the guest speakers were Tom Cosby and daughter Millie from MAF UK - Mission Aviation Fellowship. We were joined by Hyde Band who accompanied the Songs of Praise style service in fine tune.
Our regular pianist Marguerite, who was due to play for us, unfortunately broke her arm on Friday. One of Tim's pianist colleagues came to the rescue last minute to save the day. Despite Marguerite spending a night in A&E, she was still able to join us for the service.
The Tent Service was led by Hyde Church Warden Jan Butcher and Julie Francis, Ordinand. Julie said “It was wonderful to see so many of our local community attend this annual service, especially those who don’t normally attend church. We even welcomed a few well behaved dogs”. We were treated to a beautiful poem, written and read by Esther as well a a lovely prayer, recited by the owner of Harry’s Field. Fortunately the weather had cooled down enough for the service to he in a comfortable setting. All proceeds from today's service will be donated to MAF, which is a Christian mission organisation, who use planes to overcome the barriers of remote communities. MAF planes are taking off and landing every six minutes and are able to see isolated people globally, changed by the love of Christ.
