The annual Good Friday 'Carrying of the Cross' march of witness
was held in Lisburn city centre on Friday afternoon 21st March.
The procession gathered at the lower end of Bow Street then made
its way along Bow Street to Market Square for a short act of
worship led by the Lisburn City Centre Ministers. Taking part in
the procession and act of worship were: Rev Kenneth McGrath (Lisburn
Cathedral), Rev John Brackenridge (First Lisburn), Fr Dermot
McCaughan (St Patrick's), Pastor George Hilary (Lisburn
Christian Fellowship), Rev Brian Anderson (Seymour Street), Rev
Brian Gibson (Railway Street), Rev Dianne Matchett (Christ
Church) and Rev Paul Dundas (Christ Church).
The verse of Scripture printed on the programme issued to all
gathered for the short act of worship, highlighted the reason
for the season, 'I have come that they might have life, and have
it to the full'. The Easter hymns sang were 'When I survey the
wondrous cross' and 'Amazing Grace'. The Rev Brian Anderson,
minister of Seymour Street Methodist, chose as the subject for
his Good Friday address, 'Nothing can separate us from the love
of God that is in Christ Jesus'.
