Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. The sermon title for January 13th is: "Jesus, the Compassionate Servant." This sermon is from Isaiah 42 where God describes the Messiah, Jesus as someone who is compassionate and gracious: "a bruised reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out." We may feel like that--like a bruised reed or smoldering wick about to be extinguished. But Jesus does not give up on us and He will not let us go. Praise God for that--that He is with us through our troubles.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar:
Bible Study--Thursday at church at 7pm. We are studying the gospel of John. All are welcome.
Meal with the Minister--Our next soup luncheon for this season will be held on Wednesday, January 23rd at 12 noon. Pastor Dave will provide the soup/stew, chips and drink. If you would like to bring a dessert to share, please let Pastor Dave know. All who can come are welcome, and if you need a ride, let us know and we can arrange that.
Movie Night--Saturday January 26th. The movie will be “Dead Man Walking.” Scheduled to be put to death for brutally slaying two teens, Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn) seeks the aid of activist nun Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon), a death-penalty opponent. She becomes Matthew's spiritual adviser and tries to halt the execution, even though Matthew's professed innocence is dubious. As the execution date draws ever closer, Sister Helen works to save Matthew's soul by getting him to confess—and to ask divine forgiveness. The movie is rated R for some violence. We will meet at church at 5:30pm for pizza and begin the movie around 6pm. Discussion time will follow.
