A Year in Hymns
Pam Rhodes and her fellow Songs of Praise presenters take a moment to pause and reflect on some of their favourite hymns and inspiring stories of faith and hope from 2024.
Pam Rhodes visits Launde Abbey in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, taking a break from the festivities to look back and give thanks for 2024. Pam and her fellow Songs of Praise presenters Aled Jones, Sean Fletcher, Laura Wright and Claire McCollum choose the hymns and worship songs that have lifted and sustained us through the year, and they reflect on inspiring people and places they have visited. The Rev Kate Bottley offers a prayer for the New Year ahead, and there’s a very special festive performance from Katherine Jenkins, adding to uplifting music from across the UK.
