Wednesday April 6th 2016

A shower at the end of the ‘ReLENTless Prayer’ celebration didn’t stop the praise band singing the closing hymn, ‘This is amazing grace’.

People from 18 churches gathered in Lisburn City Centre on Easter Sunday to celebrate the 40 days and 40 nights of ‘ReLENTless Prayer’ for the City and its people, held during Lent.

A praise band comprising musicians from some Lisburn churches led the singing of hymns that included, ‘O happy day’ and ‘See what a morning’.

The Rev Paul Dundas (Christ Church Parish) welcomed all who gathered and gave a brief update of the project. Also taking part were Dean Sam Wright (Lisburn Cathedral) and George Hilary (Lisburn Christian Fellowship).
