| Postlude |
I will come right out and say it. I am not a follower of Christ. Never have been. Never will be.
However, I was asked to listen by a very close friend of mine, and I respect him more than he knows. I have been blown away by the power and grace demonstrated by all of your singers, particularly John Pinney.
The Bible readings were delivered in a sincere and meaningful manner, and the hymns were just wonderful.
Please, as a follower of Natures Way, and in turn the Hope and Light that of which Jesus is, let me offer my congratulations on such a beautiful service, and on the pure passion held in faith.
Well done to all.
Blessings.
Dan
