Welcome to our Easter Day Service today, which is led by The Worship Group.
All are welcome to join us for refreshments after the service.
Easter
If there was no resurrection, there would be no hope for mankind.
We would have no second chance and no peace of mind.
The love of God is clearly seen in the sacrifice of His Son,
who took our punishment and our sin and offered redemption for everyone.
Had not Jesus died on the cross, had His life not been sacrificed,
there would be no forgiveness of sin , there would be no eternal life.
Jesus did no wrong and knew no sin.
But for love’s sake He died… so our sin debt could be paid in full.
He gave Himself to be crucified.
The good news of salvation comes to us by the way of the cross.
God raised up Jesus from the dead so that no man need be lost.
Oh, what love the Father has for us, shown by the gift He freely gave.
So that we could have a second chance, God raised Jesus from the grave.
