Frinton Free Church has been chosen to kick-off ITV's revamped Sunday morning religious programme.
ITV is replacing its weekly Morning Worship with a new religious magazine named Sunday Morning.
On Sunday Frinton Free Church's morning service will be broadcast live throughout the ITV network at 10.50am, and later in the day the church will record a short service which will be the first to go out in the new format the following week.

Sunday's New Year service will be led by the church's senior minister, the Rev David Beer, whose theme will be Purpose and Hope.
Youth minister the Rev Dave Hibbin will give the children's message, and associate minister the Rev Derek Moon will direct the musical items which will include a solo by Alison Hendry.
The short service to be recorded later for transmission on January 10 will have the theme of Friends.
