Feedback: We had a great event for Hull and East Yorkshire. Beverley Minster, where it was held, was comfortably full with around 400 people. The programme was a seamless combination of worship, led prayer, drama, news, group prayer and message. ‘God was so there’ said a person the other day.
People were highly motivated in sung worship – a real sense of hearts engaging with God. A competent music group with the investment of audio visual kit enabled really good participation. The GDOP set prayer was prayed from the front by three people of different ethnic groups but with a rhythmic backing and interspersed with a sung response after each section. Drama was used to tell the story of nation-changing prayer in East Germany which brought down the Berlin Wall. This provided the encouragement to pray for our nation today. The message was simple from Acts 2: “Wouldn’t we like things to be a bit more like Acts? So let’s us ask God for his work now.” Numerous church leaders came and were both prayed for and given a candle. Then after dispersing around the Minster with their candles people formed prayer groups around them. The conclusion was the final section of the GDOP set prayer led by the Bishop of Hull and enthusiastic worship.
It was great occasion for the church in this area.
