"Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care."
Psalm 95:6-7
The Millennium Kneeler project began in 1998. Sponsorship was needed for the cost of materials. Church members and friends responded and from their ideas came the designs, which were usually reminders of those to whom the kneeler was dedicated. Except for kneelers 8, 11 and 19 every design is original. A chance remark resulted in Marion Gilliland's original 'Millennium' design being requested by more than 390 churches throughout the United Kingdom
