Rev. Hughes preaches
a dramatic sermon, "Formal Expressions," in which he role-plays various characters in the Easter
story. This sermon impressed me very
much when I first heard it as a youngster.
This follows after the Hymn "Christ the Lord is Risen Today,"
Scripture Reading, Organ Meditation by Russell Matthews, and Prayer by Pastor
Hughes. (From April 11, 1982).
