Randall Baptist Church

On Sunday, October 12th, the Randall church body wrapped up six weeks of Discipleship Emphasis with a day of service Randall leadership dubbed “The Church has Left the Building.” In lieu of our usual Sunday morning worship service, Randallites set out into the community to visit nursing homes, deliver snacks to workers at hospitals and firehouses, clean up our soon-to-be-adopted stretch of Main Street, and even host a free car wash in the church parking lot, among many other service projects. The following are some short testimonies about the action step we took to get out of our comfort zone.

“We went to Beechwood Nursing Home. The residents were very open to our visit and seemed to crave company. The Lord helped me to serve ‘out of my comfort zone.’ THIS IS WHAT OUR CHURCH NEEDS TO BE DOING - loving our community.”

“I was reminded of Jesus’ words, ‘whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ So while we were planting bulbs, I was thinking not only of serving Hospice, but Christ as well.”

“My family had the joy of playing music with a neighbor - a get-together long anticipated and worth looking forward to. Our friendship with him grew, and we’re definitely going to do this again. This was step one of many … the beginning of a story.”

“I can’t say I was very prepared approaching this morning of ministry, but when we arrived at the bike path to hand out water and granola bars, I was encouraged by the runners’ openness to the FREE STUFF (they thought they had to pay). Most people asked what the “occasion” was, why the kindness? It was so unusual for them, but we got to explain what it was for and it went great. (people loved hearing about Randall!) God bless the ministry!”

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” - Galatians 6:9 & 10
