While the Easter observance is marked around the globe with various acts of celebration, attending Church especially on such occasions is not unusual for many Christians.
Locally, thousands of believers flock their places of worship on Good Friday and Easter Sunday to reflect on the death and resurrection of their saviour, Jesus Christ. Some worshippers would solemnly bring the occurrence to remembrance while others would opt to celebrate Easter as a time of redemption, forgiveness and new beginnings.
Such was the celebration at Special Miracles Ministries Royalty Centre Church located at Lot 203 Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Georgetown.
The Pentecostal movement which was established in 1994 has been expanding its reach to the communities of East La Penitence, Alexander Village and La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara in an effort to fulfill spiritual and social needs.
According to the Church’s Director, Archbishop Wingrove David Babb, such is the mission of all believers.
Babb holds firm to the belief that the Easter story is one of victory and uplift for all mankind especially those who put their faith in the simple truth revealed in the scriptures.
“That Christ died but was resurrected… His death; shedding of blood is for the remission of sins and his resurrection symbolizes new life a gift of hope and salvation offered to all mankind even today.”
Archbishop Babb, a Reverend with over 25 years of Ministry under his belt, said the story of the resurrection, speaks especially to new beginnings.
Much like springtime, he says the Easter story is one which embodies a fresh start; the dying of the old and birth of the new.
The scriptures say that when the veil in the synagogue was rent from top to bottom, this only meant that sinful man could approach a most holy God because of the blood sacrifice on the cross.
“It will forever represent victory.”
The Preacher urges that if anyone feels in need of hope or a fresh start; the Easter story is one to believe in.
Last June, the Reverend established a new sanctuary in East La Penitence, which he artistically rebranded Special Miracles Ministries Royalty Centre Church. According to Babb, the name of the ministry speaks volumes to his ministry and specifically to the mission of the church which is to equip men and women to fulfill their kingdom assignment on the earth.
Archbishop Babb is optimistic of the role the Royalty Centre can play towards the development and enrichment of individuals, families, communities and the nation.
“We are a multi-ethnic church and we embrace people of all cultures and status quos with a message to unite the nation.”
