News Release

The Queen’s Last Word

Sunday October 9, 2022 9:00 am.

Before Queen Elizabeth died, she herself planned every aspect of her funeral, a six-and-a-half-hour event. Nothing was going to be said or done without her consent or approval. She literally signed off on every detail. We will remember Queen Elizabeth: what she felt, what she thought, and the status of her faith.

On October 9th, 2022 Pastor Bob Rawlins will be bringing an unusual message on the subject of “What do I to say at my funeral? This may be shocking to some who are in the habit of deferring this subject by saying “I don’t want to talk about it!” This may be because of fear or unresolved grief. Whatever the reason, you may have neglected this subject. Do not let others speak for you or hope they will have something good to say about you when you are gone. You can have the last word, just like the Queen.



The issues are:
What do I want my family, friends and associates and fellow community members to remember as I leave this life?
What has been most important in my life?
These are my feelings and I want you to know them.

“It is not what you take as you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.” Learn from Queen Elizabeth.

Come hear this message on “THE QUEEN’S LAST WORD” At GOODLAND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 117 E. UNION ST. GOODLAND OCTOBER 9TH, 2022 SUNDAY, 9:00 AM

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
