Today the United Service of the Church in Abingdon was held at Trinity Church. This is an annual celebration for the 14 member churches.
In the foyer, and round the church, were displays from a number of projects supported or closely connected with the Church in Abingdon, such as the Street Pastors.
Rev’d Richard Bittleston led a short service and also played piano. Richard will be leaving Trinity in the summer, at which point Trinity and All Saints will be getting a new joint minister. The number of ministers are being reduced in these days of declining church attendance in some of the more traditional churches.
The final hymn was to the hymn tune Abingdon. A recording from my phone can be heard here.
Such a huge amount of community support goes on through the churches in Abingdon, mostly behind the scenes. Congratulations to the Abingdon Blog for reporting it. The newspapers and TV give it scant recognition.

Also yesterday morning’s service at Peachcroft Christian Centre was packed, and had a great sense of praise and worship
