Here is the scoop for this weekend:

Men's Prayer Breakfast - CANCELLED for Saturday.
Sunday School hour - CANCELLED for this Sunday.
Sunday Worship - 10:30 Sunday AT THE RANDOLPH TOWN HALL. There should be no problem with parking at the town hall this week. You can either park at the church and walk over or park at the town hall.

Let's Shake the Place!


And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31)



Prayer meeting, every Wednesday evening at 6:30. If the building is unavailable, we will either meet outside or find someplace in the building to meet. But brothers and sisters, let us SHAKE THE PLACE TONIGHT!

Weekend Update

It's great to be home. Israel was wonderful, but as Dorothy said, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home!"

That said, here are the plans for this weekend.



As you can see, construction is well under way, but we will not be able to meet in the auditorium this Lord's Day.

SO:

Sunday School hour is cancelled for tomorrow and the 10:30 Worship Service will occur in the Randolph Town hall.

VERY IMPORTANT - there is another event occurring at the community center and parking there will be limited. All who are able please park at the church and walk over. There should be sufficient parking at the center for those physically unable to walk from the church, so everybody else please leave those few spots for them.

I look forward to worshipping with my church family again!

June 7, 1891

Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached his last sermon 121 years ago on June 7, 1891. The sickness with which he was then afflicted took his life the following January. His last sermon ended with these words:

“Those who have no master are slaves to themselves. Depend upon it, you will either serve Satan or Christ, either self or the Saviour. You will find sin, self, Satan, and the world to be hard masters; but if you wear the livery of Christ, you will find him so meek and lowly of heart that you will find rest unto your souls. He is the most magnanimous of captains.

“There never was his like among the choicest of princes. He is always to be found in the thickest part of the battle. When the wind blows cold he always takes the bleak side of the hill. The heaviest end of the cross lies ever on his shoulders. If he bids us carry a burden, he carries it also. If there is anything that is gracious, generous, kind, and tender, yea lavish and superabundant in love, you always find it in him. These 40 years and more have I served him, blessed be his name! and I have had nothing but love from him. I would be glad to continue yet another 40 years in the same dear service here below if so it pleased him. His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter on it at once! God help you to enlist under the banner of Jesus even this day! Amen.”
