There was an audible “Wow!” at the end of the final meeting of this year’s Derby Bible Week.
A packed gathering of around 250 people from evangelical churches around Derby had just finished singing “It is well, it is well, with my soul”. It was a truly glorious sound of heartfelt praise! Although many talented musicians had accompanied the singing through the week, this hymn ended with the congregation singing unaccompanied. It was a fitting expression of our unity in the gospel that is demonstrated during this annual event.
A morning of prayer was set aside for the churches represented to individually open up specific prayer needs and causes for praise. Each evening there was a public meeting for praise to God, and the preaching of His word.
