Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. The sermon for Nov. 4th is titled, "Righteousness Is a Gift, Not an Accomplishment." It is based on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke chapter 18. The Pharisee, this supposedly holy religious leader of the day was proud of himself--glad that he was not a sinner like the tax collector who cheated others out of money. He wasn't afraid to boast about himself. The tax collector on the other hand knew he was a sinner and he was repentant and asked God for mercy. Jesus says it is this sort of person who is justified (made right) with God.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Bible Study--Thursday Nov. 8th at 7pm. We are studying the gospel of John. Praise and Worship team rehearsal--Tues. Nov. 6th at 6:30pm.
Swedish Meatball Supper—Saturday, Nov 10th. One annual event you don't want to miss! Seatings at 4:30 pm and 6pm. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for kids 12 and under. There will be a Holiday table and bake sale as well. Call the church office (508-752-1459) to make your reservations. Please let us know what seating you plan to attend.
Movie Night—Sat. November 17th. We will be watching “The Rookie.” Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid) strikes an intriguing bargain with the Texas high school baseball team he coaches: If they make the playoffs, he'll try out for a pitcher position with a big league team. The high schoolers hold up their end of the deal, and, against great odds, Morris makes the team, fulfilling his lifelong dream. Based on a true story. Rated G. We will meet for pizza at 5:30pm (sign up downstairs if you are coming for pizza) and the movie will start around 6pm. Discussion time will follow.
Congregational Annual Meeting--Nov. 18th following the morning worship service. This is the first part of our annual meeting.
