Merseyfest and its partners “City Sings Gospel” (Love and Joy Ministries) and “The
Big Hope” (Liverpool Hope University) are planning an amazing Street Party on Hope
Street on Saturday 14th June. It will run from 12 noon until 5 pm and be followed
by SPACE and a Gospel Music Festival at the two cathedrals.Click for full story
The Party kicks off with a huge pageant - an exciting colourful, musical parade of
the churches across the Mersey region, demonstrating the message of HOPE. With singing,
dancing, puppets, kites and all sorts it will be a bold statement of colour and
creativity. The walk, which will be the biggest in the region for years, will be
little over a mile starting and finishing at the car park of the Anglican Cathedral.
SPECIAL EDITION OF NEW LIFE NEWSPAPER FOR FESTIVAL OF HOPE.
40,000 copies of a special edition of the well-known New Life Newspaper have been
prepared for giving out in May. Working with the Merseyfest team the editors have
produced an issue which focuses on the Festival of Hope. Four pages of articles relating
to the Festival on 14th June have been included, as you can see from the front page
here. The aim is to get these out into homes near our churches as a way of letting
everyone know about the great things that will be happening on Hope Street. As well
as the Festival stuff, there will be the usual testimonies and articles for those
who want to know more about the Christian message. Merseyfest is offering these
at an incredibly good rate of £10 for one hundred, and are asking churches to get
them now so they can be distributed in May. Contact the office to get some.
