Faith Festival in Hull City Centre

June 1, 2010 · Print This Article

On 23rd May Jubilee church Hull, along with lots of other local churches gathered in Queen Victoria Square to worship God and celebrate the birth of the worldwide church on Pentecost Sunday.

The weather was glorious as multiple congregations gathered to worship, pray and celebrate their Christian faith. The day featured information stalls, food and hand-made banners, as well as a Gospel presentation from our very own Steve Whittington.

The day was put together by Hope+ who are an inter-church charitable trust that grew out of the working together of local churches through Hope 08 (Hull) – seeking to make the Good News of Jesus known to our communities in both word and deed. Its purpose is to provide a platform on which churches can come together to pray for this City region; to celebrate our faith together in the public arena; and to encourage local churches in reaching out together with practical demonstrations of the Gospel in their local communities. ‘Your Kingdom come, your will be done, here in Hull as it is in Heaven.’

The event was funded entirely by personal and church donations as we wanted it to be a free event so all could have the opportunity to attend. If you would like to contribute to our shortfall you can send a cheque made payable to ‘Hope08 (Hull)’ and sent to Revd. J. Taylor , Victoria Dock Vicarage, 22 Corinthian Way, Hull, HU9 1UF. Thank you.
