Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. The sermon for Nov. 11th is titled, "Building the House of the Lord." The text is from Haggai 1 and 2 and it describes the return of people from exile and their desire to rebuild the temple of the Lord. They get it started, the foundation is laid, but then the project is halted for 14 years. They are concerned only for themselves and their own houses, their own needs, rather than the things of God. The prophet Haggai has a message for the people: "Build the house of the Lord. Be strong all you people of the land and work. For I am with you. My Spirit remains among you. Do not fear." This is a message we need to hear today as we seek to build up our churches in this world.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Bible Study--Thursday Nov. 15th at 7pm. We are studying the gospel of John.
Meal with the Minister--Wednesday, November 14th at 12 noon. Pastor Dave will provide the soup/stew, chips and drink. Let us know if you need a ride. All are welcome!
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.
Community Thanksgiving Eve Service--at Bethlehem Covenant on Wednesday, Nov. 21st at 7pm. Rev. Gloria Connery will be preaching and Pastor Dave will lead the worship service.
