Engagements - April 2009

Sunday 5th - Carrickfergus Congregational Church
The resident Minister was speaking elsewhere on Sunday and Mr Paul Hamill a Missionary representing Belfast City Mission in Rathcoole Estate was the speaker. Solid Ground sang a number of pieces in the theme of 'The Cross' as Paul reminded all of the reasons we needed to be saved.
Sunday 19th - Dunseverick Baptist Church
It is always good to return to Dunseverick Baptist, its like a home from home and this was no exception. Pastor Scott who is helping out on a part-time basis gave a very sound and clear message from 2 Peter 3 v 9. Again because of the closeness to Easter all the pieces sang by Solid Ground centred on the 'Old Rugged Cross'.
Sunday 26th - Dromore Baptist Church
This was the second time in a few weeks that Solid Ground have had the privilege of sharing in the gospel with Pastor Jim Magill of Dromore, the last being in Banbridge Baptist.
Thursday 30th - Whitewell Metropolitian Tabernacle
Taking part in the gospel concert to raise funds to support the children of Ethiopia was Kenny Archer, Nell & Lorraine, Christine, Freda & Friends, Kenny Mitchell on the accordion and Solid Ground. Singing to a completely packed Whitewell Tabernacle hall (800+ congregation) was a first for Solid Ground. It was an amazing night of fellowship and a light supper was also provided for all who attended. The James and the team who organised the concert recorded a live DVD which will be on sale to raise funds for the children's project in Ethiopia. There was a 'live link' to Ethiopia when the local Pastor spoke briefly on the work there and thanked everyone for their continued support.
