Songs of Waves

Ashbourne and Wirksworth Christians sing by the Water

The people singing by Carsington Water

Carsington Water provided a dramatic background to a very successful Songs of Praise on Sunday 4th July, organised jointly by Ashbourne and Wirksworth Churches Together. There were waves on the lake and a brisk blustery wind but it kept dry for a lively hour of songs old and new accompanied by Ashbourne Town Band and the Dales Worship Group from Wirksworth.

Interspersed was moving personal testimony from three members of different denominations and an excellent dramatic rendering of John 4, produced and performed by the youth workers from both towns. There were an estimated 500 present during the service; some from as far away as Poynton and Nottingham, but also very good local support from many denominations.

More than £700 was raised for Water Aid.
