Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. Today (Sunday May 27th) is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost Sunday celebrates the gift of God's Spirit to the church. It celebrates the birth of the church in a large sense. Pentecost, originally a Jewish festival day, had an agricultural purpose, celebrating the completion of the grain harvest. "Pentecost" means "fiftieth," and Pentecost came fifty days after the start of Passover. For Christians it marks the giving of the Spirit, adn comes seven weeks after Easter. Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Thursday--Bible study on the Gospel of John. At church, 7pm. Church Picnic--Sunday June 10th after the worship service. It is also Children's Sunday as well. Starting on Sunday, June 17th we will be on our summer worship schedule. Worship will begin at 9:30am.
