God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.

A Place for You: Thank you Lord in spite of…
Habakkuk 3:7-18

Spouses died. Lost a child. Diagnosed with inoperable cancer. The business bankrupted. How can we give thanks? I had been there. I had prepared a Thanksgiving sermon at the hospital. Paradoxically God healed and made me spiritually and emotionally whole through suffering and pain. Therefore, we are encouraged to give thanks in spite of all the pains and sufferings. No matter the situation, no matter the difficulty, no matter how we feel, give thanks to God the Creator and Redeemer. The church chooses to do this and provides the hope to the world. Gratitude opens our hearts to the presence of God and to Christ’s healing presence. Let the gratitude abounds in our church in order to be a place for their home.

Advent … Coming Home

Do you remember how good it felt to go home for Christmas the first time you weren’t living at home anymore ?

This year, we’re going to be thinking about COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS—coming home to our family, coming home to Bethlehem, coming home to our church family, coming home to God.

Join us, all are welcome.

There’s a place for YOU here this Christmas and throughout the year.

Beginning November 17, the Giving Tree will be in the back of the sanctuary. Bring your gift(s) to church by Sunday, December 1st.
