Easter Sunday. Let’s celebrate the resurrection of Jesus!

What a wonderful blessing church was on Sunday morning. We had many visitors with us to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus! We had our normal song service of hymns along with Jeffrey and John singing a wonderful song called ‘Were You There’ and I also sang a song called ‘This is my Desire’.


Pastor Simon shared with us a message called ‘What does the resurrection do?’ which was a great message to hear on Easter Sunday. The Lord really blessed us with this message on Sunday and I’m certain He was present with us as we honoured Him.

After the service everyone stayed to share a BBQ lunch and have some fellowship together. We had stacks of delicious food and really enjoyed getting to know one another a lot better. We’re even praying that some of our visitors might like to come back to Palmwoods Baptist Church next week to worship God!

In the mean time if you’d like to continue praying for the church and it’s people we would really appreciate it. For the next four Sundays we will have different people preaching as Pastor Simon and Jan have gone to America for four weeks. We’ve got Neil Smith, John Gadenne and Jeffrey Gadenne all preaching throughout the four weeks so come along if you’d like a real blessing. Continue praying for Simon and Jan for safe travel and a wonderful time away.

Let me leave you with a piece of scripture that I put in the church bulletin this week and which Pastor Simon used in this message as well.

John 11:25-26

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Have a wonderful week and blessed be the Lord!
