Rock Tour 4 - Salisbury

After the morning meeting at Chandler's Ford, the team were on the road again. This time not for too long, just the short trip up the road to Salisbury.


We have performed with the Millennium Churches' Choir many times in Salisbury, and it was great to be back with the organisational skills of Grahame and Jennifer Chubb, and the musical talents of Andy and Alison Larkham. We had a fabulous welcome at the City Hall, complete with music stand in the passageway with a special message and instructing us where to go for the dressing rooms.


After the interestingly shaped performing area in Chandler's Ford, it was quite a suprise to suddenly have acres of space on the stage at the City Hall. Another big bonus for us was the collection of settees in the changing rooms, which quite a number of people made use of. Those of us that didn't want to sleep headed out into Salisbury, some even making it into the cathedral, which was great.


Just before the performance we met for choir prayers as usual, but this time we had the added support of a fabulous prayer team, and Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith. The Bishop has always been wonderfully supportive of Roger, and it was great to see him once again. After a lovely prayer time, complete with a prize for the choir member who had sold the most tickets, we went into the hall in front of a huge audience of over 700. Thanks go to the work of Grahame and all of the choir for making that possible.


One of the most thrilling parts of the performance was the chatter afterwards. God seemed to really have been working in people's hearts, and we understand a couple of people were led to Christ that evening. Praise God!


And then we all returned home to our own beds, ready to get up for work in the morning. What a crazy team of people.
