COMING ATTRACTIONS

“...whither thou goest, I will go...” (from Ruth 1:16)

I want to make known (especially for people in the Framingham and MetroWest areas) two upcoming events at the small church I pastor which is First Assembly of God of Framingham:

FIRST, this coming Sunday (Sept. 2) morning we’ll be having an OUTDOOR service in our church parking lot.  This Sunday’s service will begin at 9:30 a.m. (our Sunday morning service is usually an hour later than that).  Dress is casual.  I won’t be wearing a dressy suit or anything like that...I’ll probably be wearing jeans and some sort of a casual short-sleeved shirt.  Most of our music is ROCKIN’!  Not that there’s anything wrong with your grandparents’ church music, but MOST of it ain’t your grandparents’ kind of church music.  We’ve got just a handful of musicians and a drum machine but visitors are always surprised by the quality of contemporary Christian worship music that we have.  I’ll be speaking.  My speaking style is no different that it would be if I was telling stories around a kitchen table.  Probably 75% of the people who hear me speak really love it and probably 25% can’t stand it, but if you enjoy this blog it’s most likely you’ll love it.  We LOVE having guests at our services.  As Billy Graham says, “You may be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or no religion...” but whatever you are you’re more than welcome to visit our outdoor service on Sunday, Sept. 2.  If you plan to attend on Sunday, Sept. 2, bring a lawn chair or two if you have them, and make sure you wear sunscreen.  The service will be at the end of the parking lot closest to the building...our small church has plenty of parking and we’ll show you where to park your car, if you need us to.  We’re located at South and Taylor Streets, directly behind Route 135’s “Chicken Bone Saloon/Restaurant”.

ALSO, on Sunday morning, September 9 at 10:30 a.m. our special guest speaker is Mrs. Princess Davis from Sharon, MA.  Princess Davis is around 73-years-old but she’s got the heart and energy of a 25-year-old.  An African-American, she was born into poverty in rural Arkansas and came to Massachusetts in the mid-1950s..  Anyone who has ever met Princess Davis has commented that she’s one of the most interesting and amazingpeople they’ve ever met.  Now, THIS service will be indoors, but knowing Princess Davis, she’ll have us all “reved-up” to share our faith outdoors as soon as we leave!  You’re also more than welcome to attend the Sunday morning service with Princess Davis on September 9!
