The annual Good

witnessing the importance of the Lord�s death and resurrection
as our only hope for life and eternity.

hymn, �Amazing Grace�. The Rev. Paul

Reading from Matthew 27: 45 - 54; and
in a short Easter Reflection he took as his theme: - �What is
�Good� about this Friday?� He stated that is was �Good� because
the Cross demonstrated: �God�s love was sacrificed�; �That Sin
was dealt with�; and �Hope because Jesus Rose Again.�

Church, led prayers, including the Lord�s Prayer.
The closing item of worship was,
