Glen Park Gospel Church >> Easter >> 2004 Good Friday in the Park

 

Our Good Friday banner

 

People came from far and wide, arriving mostly on time.

Here they come! People arrive right on time.

Until almost the last moment we were uncertain as to what music we would be able to offer, the Lord graciously answered our prayers and all things came together. Most people thought that this year's celebration of Good Friday was the best and most God honouring yet.

Folk from the Diamond Valley Baptist Church provide music and singing.About 115 people of all ages come to celebrate Easter with our small fellowship.

The weather was kind with light cloud tempering what would have been some sting from the autumn sun, some 115 people gathered in the park. Instrumental was by Kevin and Jenny Spicer on keyboard and saxophone, Ron Ellis and Dale Philip provided tenor and baritone solo and duet items and all were of outstanding quality and clarity. These folk were of the Diamond Valley Baptist music team.

From left to right: Bryan Greenwood gave the inpirational message, Dale Phillips and Ron Ellis sang solo, Jenny Anderson read scripture, Gordon Hutchinson introduced our church, and Marj Swales also read scripture.The audience also took part in the singing of old time favourites.

Evangelist Bryan Greenwood brought the message answering the most asked question of those who see ‘The Passion'; "Why did He do it?" At the conclusion two people asked for information about receiving Jesus Christ as their own Saviour.

Bryan Greenwood spelled out the meaning of Easter for our own lives.Everyone helps with their happy applause.

The Service concluded on time with a hot-cross bun and a cuppa.

The final part is to share hot cross buns and chockolate eggs over tea and coffee.Many stayed back to catch up and chat.Little of the food was left over.

 

Good Friday in the Park has been an annual event for the last seven years, and for all but one of them, the sun has shined on this proclamation of the Gospel. At the Glen Park Gospel Church we see this as one of the ways that we are able to share the good news of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the blessing that can come into the lives of those who place their trust in Him.
