Despite the mixed weather, this year’s first ‘Praise by the (Millennium) Bridge’ got the series off to a cheerful start. Organised by Churches Together in SW York, and SE York Churches, Praise by the Bridge is held at the west end of York’s Millennium Bridge at 3.00 pm on the third Sunday of every month from May to September. Musicians and singers always welcome. The churches will also present a stall together at Rowntree Park Birthday Party, 12th July, with bible story telling and a children’s competition. Helpers and ideas welcome.

‘Up and down go the brollies’ – Rev Keith Himsworth of Southlands Methodists and Richard Tagg of York Baptist Church lead the singing by the bridge.
