Father's Day (2020x25)

Data emisji: Cze 21, 2020

For Father’s Day, Sean Fletcher looks back on stories of inspirational dads and father figures putting their Christian love into action. He begins with the story of the London dad whose gift of a kidney saved his son’s life, and how their faith not only sustained them but inspired them to raise awareness about organ donation. There’s also another chance to see how a love of making music together cemented the bond of one father and son and took them all the way to a star appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, and JB Gill meets the Christian youth worker who has spent 58 years being a father figure to young people on the Isle of Sheppey. Sean also reflects on meeting a truly inspirational mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence. In one of his most memorable Songs of Praise moments, Sean spoke to Doreen about her long fight for justice for her son Stephen, how it impacted her faith and about the hymn that has brought her comfort. With a mix of traditional and modern hymns from churches around the UK celebrating the love of God. Filmed before the Covid-19 lockdown.
