Stories
Harvest
John Craven joins the Foot family, who work their 3000 acre farm near Weymouth, Dorset to discover why bringing in the harvest this year has a special meaning.
John meets Judy Foot, whose husband Charles died suddenly two months ago, and finds out how her Christian faith is helping her deal with her tragic loss amidst the pressures of this year’s rain-affected harvest.
Andrea Begley
Claire McCollum meets blind singer Andrea Begley, the winner of BBC One’s The Voice, to discover how her remarkable story is inspiring others. Andrea, who has just ten per cent vision, is now an ambassador for the Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB) and she reveals how her faith has helped her cope with the many challenges she has faced.
Swifts
Springwatch presenter Lindsey Chapman travels to Worlington in Suffolk to find out about the church helping one of our most enduring birds – the Swift.
She learns how the demolition of a nearby cottage meant the swifts would soon be homeless, until the church community stepped in.
