Easter Conference 2008 in Hamilton

We were in Hamilton on Good Friday and Easter Saturday for the Easter conference organised by three Reformed/Reformed Baptist churches in Hamilton. The speaker was Dr. Don Carson who serves as Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield Illinois.

Philip and I left home at about 9:15 a.m. on Friday morning with Pastor Alfie Orr and Dave and Glenda Aiken.

Our drive down to Hamilton included a stop at Pokeno for an icecream. At Hamilton, we checked into a motel, had a quick pizza lunch, and reached the conference venue by 1:00 p.m.

Dr. Carson’s addresses on Friday were:

• 1.00 pm A Passion for the Promises and the People of God (Nehemiah 1-2)
• 3.30 pm Never, Never, Never Give Up (Nehemiah 3:1-6:14)
• 7.00 pm A Protected and Spiritually Nourished Pilgrim People (Nehemiah 7-8 )
