“...do the work of an evangelist...” (from 2 Timothy 4:5)
Tomorrow (Sunday, March 25) would have been my brother Eddie’s 51st birthday. For a few of you from First Assembly of God of Framingham, it would also have been Dorothy Chick’s birthday. I think Dorothy Chick would have been 79. For ME, March 25 is a big day because we have Evangelist Rob Fisher from New Jersey at our church as our special speaker for the 10:30 a.m. service.
I’ve been receiving Rob Fisher’s on-line newsletter for some time. Although he’s called an “evangelist” I think he’s also more of a “prophet” in the sense of someon like David Wilkerson (founder of Teen Challenge who has given numerous prophetic words to the Church of our time).
Rob Fisher speaks all over the place, especially the northeast. He speaks in large churches and key venues. For us to have Rob Fisher at our tiny church is really a blessing and an honor.
You know how it is when you entertain a guest in your home...or something like that... you want to put your best foot forward. Well, I want to do the same thing at our church. Right now even if everyone at our church showed up we’d have over 35 empty seats. Somehow, I’d love to fill up those empty seats.
If you are from the Framingham area, “What have you got to loose”?
As Billy Graham would say, “You may be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or no religion”. (I used to wonder why he didn’t include Hindus, Buddhists or Muslims!) Well, you MAY be “Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or no religion”. Why not spend this Sunday morning in a special way...in church hearing an interesting speaker?!
I’d love to see you Sunday morning at 10:30 ! (In case you don’t know, we’re located at 32 South Street -at South and Taylor Sts. - you can see our yellowbrick builidng from Route 135, and our property borders the Chicken Bone Restaurant.)
INCIDENTALLY, for those of you too young or too old to remember,
“SSUUNNDDAAYYYY!!!” was the radio rallying cry of New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire in the early 1970s!

yeah, had no idea why you said SSUUNNDDAAYY
so, how'd you like the guy... he was real loud, using my mike. what'd they say at lunch? i was mad, i got all the way back to school and THEN found out rehersal was cancelled, so i didn't have to go back at all!
Rachel, sorry about that!
It was a good lunch. It turns out we had some mutual acquaintances.
As far as "loud" most Assemblies of God evangelists are loud. In fact, most are louder than he was. I thought he gave a substantive message and that God really used him to minister to people one-on-one. He USUALLY has bookings where he has several days of meetings in a row. He hardly just does an isolated Sunday morning service like he did for us.
