On Sunday 31^st August I was present together with an almost full Elmslie Church to watch the second Summer Praise (2014).

The first one last year was good – this one was even better.

The attendance was bigger, too, so the word must have gone out.

The event was longer, too, almost 3 hours but it was that good hardly anyone left.

There was not one so, so, performance, all were great. Obviously some I enjoyed more than others but it would be wrong for me to say which ones – it was just a personal preference.

I, of course, was delighted that the biggest clap (and cheers) went to our very own Joan Wilson who sang a song I doubt any one else had heard before, “Hope”, that brought tears to many.

The performers came from a various churches and differing denominations. That pleased me a lot.
