from Frinton-on-Sea

Gently sloping sands, lush greensward, and sun on sparkling sea remind Nick Page of his childhood holidays when he visits Frinton to meet some local inhabitants and ask them about their faith, their work, and their favourite hymns. Among them is Olive Luff who runs the Bible Depot begun by her father Ernest Luff in 1903 - founder also of local Homes for the Elderly. Choirs and congregations from five of Frinton's Churches gather in the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene to sing their summer Songs of Praise.

Lord enthroned (St Helen); Praise to the holiest (Chorus Angelorum); 0 for a thousand tongues (Lyngham): All creatures of our God and King (Lasst uns erfreuen); Have faith in God my heart (Carlisle); Great is thy faithfulness (Faithfulness); To God be the glory (To God be the glory); Lift up your hearts (Woodlands)
