Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. This week's sermon asks the question: "Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God?" It's a question many people wonder about and have opinions on, especially given our current world situation. Historically, there have been times when Christians, Jews and Muslims have coexisted peacefully. Such is not really the case today. Do we worship the same God? How do we approach those of a different faith? These are complex questions that cannot be answered fully in one short sermon. But this sermon provides some food for thought on the issue.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Bible Study--Thursday nights at church at 7pm. We are studying the Gospel of John. Our Fall worship Schedule will begins Sept. 9th. The worship service will start at 10:30am. On weeks when the choir is with us they will rehearse at 9:00am. Board Meeting--this Tuesday (Sept. 11) at 7pm t church.
