Free Presbyterian Minister and well-known Gospel singer the Rev Dr William McCrea MP MLA, was the guest preacher and singer at an 'Old Fashioned Gospel Praise Service' held in Dunmurry Free Presbyterian Church on Monday 2nd April. The evening of worship and thanksgiving was one of three special services held over the weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of Free Presbyterian witness in Dunmurry.

The Rev Dr Fred Greenfield, the recently installed minister of Dunmurry Free Presbyterian Church led and sang at the service. Others soloists were the Rev Dr William McCrea and Mrs Kathryn Mitchell. Mrs Jacqueline Moore on organ led the congregational praise. The great old fashioned gospel hymns included - 'The old rugged cross', 'Burdens are lifted at Calvary', 'Jesus is passing this way' and 'Pass me not O gentle Saviour'.

In his address, Mr McCrea spoke about the conversion of Saul - a religious man, but, a man who did not know the Lord. Referring to the 23rd Psalm he explained that we all know the Psalm - but, do we know the Shepherd' He said that Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost and closed by emphasising that those who call on the Lord will be saved.
