TIME...

As we celebrate 100 years of God's faithfulness, we also consider...

The Passing of Time:

We look at our watches only to see the seconds, the minutes, and the hours pass by. We see the repetition of daylight turning to darkness. We begin to number our days and add up the weeks, months, years, and the seasons of life. Psalm 90:12 reads: "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."  As a child we wanted to grow taller, stronger, and older; there was so much to look forward to. As we get older, we want to slow down the ticking of the clock. We speak of “the good old days” even as we live new chapters of them. Time is not held in a bottle, it is not saved by cryogenics, and there are no time machines to bring us "Back to the Future", but there is a time. Ecclesiastes 3 teaches us  "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven"  God gives us time on this earth and calls us to account for it. Have we taken the time to know that there is one activity under heaven that is of utmost importance?

Micah 6:8:  "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

Matthew 6:7-8 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

CENTENNIEL CELEBRATION

On August 2-3 we will celebrate through special events and a worship service. We desire to praise God for the past, thank him for the present, and seek God for continued guidance and blessing in the future.

STOP--and take time to celebrate this milestone

LOOK--back at all God has done in and through FIRST RANDOPH CRC

LISTEN--to the stories of God's grace and faithfulness throughout the years

LIVE--in the hope and expectation of what God has in store for the future
