大象传媒

The first church service broadcast on the 大象传媒 was held at St Martin-in-the-Fields in 1924, led by Revered Dick Sheppard. 100 years later, the current vicar of St Martin's the Reverend Dr Sam Wells preaches live on Radio 4 to mark Ascension Day - the time when Christians celebrate Jesus ascending to heaven after his resurrection.
The Reverend Lucy Winkett leads the service, with contributions from Pam Rhodes, Swarzy Macaly, with readers Leslie Griffiths, Canon Ann Easter, Karen Gibson, Fr Paschal Uche and Angel Morgan.
There鈥檚 beautiful choral music from St Martin鈥檚 Voices directed by Andrew Earis, Laura Wright and this year鈥檚 winners of 大象传媒 Young Chorister Natalie and Belinda and uplifting gospel from Volney Morgan & New Ye. The organist is John Hosking and the trumpeter is Imogen Whitehead.
