Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. This Sunday's sermon (May 4th) asked the question, "Are we tired of playing it safe?" Jesus tells a parable about a man who entrusted three of his servants with some money. Two of the servants went to work and doubled the money. The third buried the money in the ground because he was afraid to lose any of it and afraid to risk anything. The kingdom of God works like this Jesus says--we need to multiply rather than simply preserve. God rewards those who take risks out of faith.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Bible Study--this Thursday at 7pm at church. Movie Night--Saturday, May 10th. The movie this month is A Man For All Seasons. When Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) seeks approval from the aristocracy to divorce his wife and marry Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield) finds himself caught between a murderous king and the powerful Roman Catholic Church. Richly crafted with spectacular period details and a fine supporting cast, director Paul Zinnemann's drama swept the Oscars for 1966, winning numerous golden statuettes, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director. We will meet at church at 5:30pm for pizza and begin the movie around 6pm. The movie is 2 hours. Discussion time will follow. There will be a sign up sheet in the vestry—please sign up or call to let us know if you plan to come for pizza. Sunday, June 8th
Save the date! This will be Children’s Sunday and Confirmation Sunday. That afternoon following the festivities at church, we will have our annual church picnic at the Strozina home on Packachaog Street in Auburn. All are welcome. Bring your bathing suit if the weather is warm and you want to go swimming.
