SWINDON'S churches will come together for a music and prayer service next month.

A World in Need will be a service of music to celebrate the world and pray for the stewardship of its resources and people.

The service will take place at 4pm on Sunday, June 12, at St Peter's Church, Carronbridge Road, West Swindon, next to the West Swindon cinema complex.

The music, led by a large choir drawn from local churches, will include songs from England, Scotland, America, Ghana, China, South Africa and Mexico.
