She also reflects on her pop star past as the lead singer of the group The Settlers in the 1960s and 70s. \n\nAnd JB Gill visits Sheerness Youth Club, where one youth worker has been serving the young people of Sheppey for nearly 60 years!\n\nWith hymns and songs from across the UK to celebrate the love of God and the Christian call to love our neighbour.\n\nMusic:\nLove Divine from St Asaph Cathedral\nI, the Lord of Sea and Sky from St Patrick's Church, Dungannon\nMake Me a Channel of Your Peace from St James the Greater, Leicester\nI Have Decided to Follow Jesus from Hackney Empire\nOnce Again from Albert Hall, Nottingham\nWhen I Needed a Neighbour from Southwark Cathedral\nHow Deep the Father's Love For Us from Kendal Parish Church.
