As it nears the end of a month, people are out of money and anticipating the arrival of their checks on the 1st; and all of us at the Rescue Mission are anticipating a large number of those people to come in for dinner. On April 28th 110 people attended our evening service/dinner. The month still had a couple of days remaining, so though we were expecting a lot, we were not expecting 110!
Our eyes got bigger and bigger as more and more people came walking in at 4:00.
There were only a few of us running everything that day, but God caused everything to work in an orderly fashion and He kept a calmness in the building.
When the pews were filled, we set up tons of extra folding chairs. Not a single open seat was left.
After everyone crammed in, we had a great time of worship followed by a quick sermon from Pastor Ralph. We had just enough food for everybody who came through our doors to receive a large dinner!
