Easter service held at Carryduff Presbyterian Church

The combined church choir and praise group sang three songs, ‘Resurrection Celebration’, ‘Because He Lives’ and ‘Hallelujah What A Saviour.’

The choir were accompanied by, and taught by, music co-ordinator Sarah Reid.

Emotions

The children’s address by the Rev. Alistair Smyth brought the Easter story together with what Easter means to most people these days – eggs.

He did this through characters Mr Extinguish (Eggs-tinguish!), Mr Examine and Mr Excitement.

These large hand drawn egg-shaped characters were linked to emotions at Jesus’ resurrection on the third day.

The Bible reading was from John 19: 38 – 20:18. Rev. Smyth’s sermon was entitled ‘What Was Found At The Empty Tomb’, with the point of ‘They Found...’ followed by – Spices, Grave Clothes, Angels, The Lord.
