Singer and West End star, Brenda Edwards is to join the Songs of Praise team.
Produced by Avanti Media and Manchester’s Nine Lives Media, the long-running series marks its 60th anniversary this year.
In a programme pre-recorded before the current lockdown, Edwards appears this Sunday, joining the Bonny Downs Baptists in East London on their 'Sunday walking church', which finishes with Holy Communion in their community garden.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to join the team at Songs Of Praise in their 60th year! Having grown up in the church and gospel choir, I know how important faith and music is for hope, healing and optimism - three things we all really need in the current climate,” she explained.
