From the Associate Pastor
Summer is here! We have been planning, praying, and anticipating summer for months it seems and now it is upon us. The youth Bethlehem are busy this summer. God is calling us to serve all over the country some in our community, some within the state, and others have been called down to the coast.
From the Senior Pastor
Reclaiming the Triune God
I think of the story of visiting my grandparents farm four years ago; they had long since died and the farm was about to be sold to someone else in the family who would continue to farm the land and live. As I looked around, the longstanding buildings were in pretty bad shape, the fences had not been repaired in years, weeds had grown up along the driveway, indeed…the farm had aged.
