Great Easters what I have known

Nothing really tops the Easters of the period when i lived in Cardiff. 

There were two things that would stand out - the Easter meetings in Tredegar and Easter Monday in Maesycwmmer.

Tredegar is a town that has probably seen better days, and may have better days to come. But in Castle Street or sometimes down the hill in Bethel at Easter time there'd be meetings in the evening with preachers from far afield. I remember several times hearing Donald MacLeod and Douglas Macmillan there. 

Generally the same chap would then speak at Maesycwmmer. Tredegar was a long haul from Cardiff - well, 40 minutes, but Maesycwmmer felt like just over Caerphilly mountain and a gang of us would go over on Easter Monday.

It was great to have the benefit of those times. I owe so much to the strong theology, warmth and fun of those times. There was nothing special, no gimmicks, no visual aids, no nothing - just gangs of folks meeting to hear the Bible preached straightforwardly.

Brilliant ! I'd LOVE to take some people from here over one Easter.
