Stanley McDonald, who dwelt on sunrise, the resurrection and the hope it brings. Jesus' followers had been in darkness of spirit but as Christ lives, so a new age dawns. We are children of the light. Betty Beer provided Hensall Berths MoGregor guitar music and sang "The Lord's prayer" and "I Know Who Holds My Hand". She also provided background music as Rev. McDonald read the poem "Joseph Had A Garden". Following the short ser- vice, breakfast was served in the Fellowhip Hall. A joyful Easter service was held with a packed church at 11 a.m. Rev. McDonald took as his subject, "Blocked En- trance". The light of Easter rolls away the stones in our lives, frees us from sin and lets the light in. Our weakness, doubts, guilts and death are all stones but the resurrection life affirms eternal life. Christ is Alive. Two anthems were sung "Most Glorious Lord of Life" by William H. Harris and "That God Doth Love the World, We Know" by Wadley. Mrs. Belva Fuss took to solo; also a solo by Mrs. Gail Shaw, "The New Jerusalem" during the offer- tory. The music contributed much to the services. The children were reminded that the egg is a symbol of new life and the lily symbolizes Christ bursting forth from the grave.
