Songs of Praise: Bible Blessings (S2022EP32 BBC One Sunday 14 August 2022)
Bible Blessings: In the Lancashire village of Carnforth, Katherine Jenkins travels to Capernwray Bible School and Christian Holiday Centre to meet people who are growing in their faith, including one family that attends every year that spans three generations. After getting stuck in with some face and hand painting, Katherine meets students and staff from the school to learn about the history of Capernwray Hall, a stunning 175-acre estate purchased by evangelist W Ian Thomas in 1947 to create a place for young people to learn about Jesus. Katherine also recalls stories from previous episodes of the series in which the Bible has proved to be an inspiration, including in 2018 when JB Gill met a young man who decided not to take his own life after finding and reading a free Bible in a hotel room. Our hymns feature church congregations from across the UK, there’s outdoor worship from Eastbourne Bandstand and Nettwood Farm in Bristol, and the BBC’s Young Chorister of the Year Ruby sings in Guildford Cathedral.
