A SONGS of Praise style event in Sutton Park, run by churches in Cross Hills and district, was deemed a success by young and old.
The sun shined as over 300 people of all ages gathered to sing some of their favourite hymns.
As well as hymn singing, led by the Chris Waddington and Friends Band, the event featured local community band Sutton’s Got Brass and a choir made up of children from five local primary schools: Sutton C of E, Sutton CP, Kildwick C of E, Cowling CP and Eastburn Junior and Infants School.
The Rev Rob Harris, minister of South Craven Baptist Church, said: “This was a fantastic community event, enjoyed by young and old alike.”
The Rev Helen Collings, vicar of Sutton with Cowling and Lothersdale, added: “We want to thank the children and teachers from our local schools, and the members of Sutton’s Got Brass, for all their hard work. Their contributions helped make this event really special.”
