My name is Elliott Locke (Elijah MC), and I’m organising Reggae Praise, a free community event taking place at Eastbourne Bandstand on Thursday 20 August. I attend and am being supported by Kings Church.

The vision is simple: to bring people together through uplifting reggae music, positive community, and the hope of the Gospel in a welcoming environment on Eastbourne seafront.

The event will feature:

• Live reggae performances from Elijah MC, DJ A.B. (Premier Gospel Radio), and special guest Lytie Powel.
  
• Local Christian testimonies between performances.
  
• A family-friendly atmosphere.
  
• Food vendors.
  
• Space for local churches to host information stalls, meet people, answer questions, and simply be present within the community.
  

Admission is completely free, and the Bandstand team are providing the venue, stewarding and security.

I’d love to invite Churches Together Eastbourne and its member churches to get involved in whichever way feels appropriate. This could include:

• Sharing the event with your congregation.
  
• Displaying the attached poster.
  
• Mentioning it in your notices or newsletter.
  
• Hosting a church information table during the event.
  

Our hope is that this will be a positive, welcoming event that serves the wider Eastbourne community while giving local churches an opportunity to connect with people in a relaxed setting.

If your church would be interested in having a table, or if you have any questions, I’d be delighted to hear from you. elliott.tribalvibe@googlemail.com

Thank you for your time, and I hope we might be able to work together to bless our town.

Every blessing,

ChurchWorks is an independent commission working to bring together the Church and Government to support the vulnerable in our communities. We are led by a group of commissioners representing 16 major UK Christian denominations and umbrella bodies. One area of church/government collaboration we are working on is the Pride in Place Programme, where over £5bn is being distributed to disadvantaged communities across Britain. This programme offers churches the opportunity to be at the heart of long-term community engagement and local transformation. You may be interested in exploring our Pride in Place Church Leader’s Guide, which you can find here.

As a result, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Pride in Place webinar. This session is specifically designed as an opportunity for church leaders in Pride in Place locations to learn more about the programme, and how they might get involved in their specific context. We are due to be joined by representatives from the Ministry for Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG), the Methodist Church, and have case studies from church leaders across the country who are already involved in their local Pride in Place expressions.

To join us online via Zoom on Wednesday 30th September 2026 from 10am to 12 midday, please register here using this link. The event is completely free of charge.

We’ll share a Zoom link and more detailed agenda closer to the time.

Finally, we kindly ask you to share details of this event with any church leaders or colleagues in your local area. We have endeavoured to locate every church in the 284 Pride in Place locations, but there will inevitably be some we have missed. You can find a full list of locations via our Church Leaders’ Guide.

If you have any questions, please feel free to respond and we will do our best to answer.

Blessings in Christ,
