Pulpit to the Pew
Welcome to our Resurrection Sunday services today. If you are a visitors, we are so glad that you have come to worship with us today. It is great to live in a country that recognizes the God of the Bible as the one true and living God. It is a joy to come here today and celebrate the resurrection of His "only begotten Son".
"Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."
Acts 2:24
Easter Cantata - The adult choir will present an Easter Cantata today entitled; "In the Presence of Jehovah". On behalf of our Music Director, Brother Dennis Johnson, and the choir; thank you for coming today. Our prayer is that God will receive glory and His name praised from the message in today’s cantata.
"And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time." I Cor. 15:4-8
