Special Note: Please pray for our national missionaries in Chile! Their home is less than 150 miles from the epicenter of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked Chile. We’ll let you now how they are doing as soon as we get a report.
On the Lord’s Day:
- 9:15 am — Sunday school classes for all ages: Classes for graded age groups meet to learn from the Scriptures. To see Sunday school classes, ages and meeting locations, click on the red “Ministries” button under the category “Pages” (to the right).

From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
Be ye the pillar and ground of the truth. Let the blood of martyrs, let the voices of confessors, speak to you. Remember how they held fast the truth, how they preserved it, and handed it down to us from generation to generation; and by their noble example, I beseech you, be steadfast and faithful, tread valiantly and firmly in their steps, acquit yourselves like men,—like men of God, I implore you!
Shall we not have some champions, in these times, who will deal sternly with heresies for the love of the truth,—men who will stand like rocks in the center of the sea, so that, when all others shake, they stand invulnerable and invincible? Thou who art tossed about by every wind of doctrine, farewell; I own thee not till God shall give thee grace to stand firm for his truth, and not to be ashamed of him nor of his words in this evil generation.
—excerpt from “The Church of God and the Truth of God,” a sermon preached at the New Park Street Chapel on Sunday morning 14 September 1856 by C. H. Spurgeon
