Weekly Bulletin Message - 10/28/12

October 28, 2012
What a great Revival we had this past week. Brother Phillip and Brother Andy did a great job. Thanks to all who came and took part in this great Revival. Thanks to all who fixed food for us. It was all very good and delicious. Now, let’s not let the fires go out! Keep the home fires burning for our Lord.
Also, we want to welcome all to our Homecoming today. It is going to be a glorious day for our Lord. We have with us today “The Reflections of Grace” to minister to us in Song. You will enjoy it I know. In addition, following the service this morning, we will be going down to the fellowship hall for a great time of food and fellowship. So, stick around and enjoy it will us.
Just a few reminders that are taking place and need our attention:
1. Operation Christmas Child. There is information in the stands next to the sound
both.
2.Signup sheet for things to bring to our Family Cookout this Wednesday.
Remember, we will be in the sanctuary to begin with for a short time and then
we will all go outside for a great time.
3. Don’t forget to get you a Survey position sheet to fill out and turn in. This
needs to be turned in by November 4th.
Finally, Ferrell and I would like to thank everyone for all the very nice cards, monetary gifts, gift cards, etc. As I told all of you before, Ferrell and I are the ones who appreciate you so much. Thanks to all of you from the bottom of our hearts.
God Bless to all. Remember, keep looking up, Jesus may come today.

REVIVAL-------REVIVAL-------REVIVAL
As I was driving into work this morning (Wednesday) I begin to ask myself some questions. One of those questions was “How can I help make this Revival one of the best ever”? This is what came to my mind as I ask that question:

1. Pray Harder: Pray for people to be saved, for lives to be changed, for the Christian to get on Fire for God, and most of all, God’s will to be done.
2. Get involved more: As busy as I have been the last days, I can still get more involved in this Revival. We can all get more involved.
3. Plan to attend: Attend every service. You know there was a man once who had been praying for years about something and God gave him his answer through a Revival service. The only Problem was, he was not there the night God spoke.
4. Expect something to happen: God is still in the business of Miracles. Expect God to answer your prayers, change you, and even more, save that person you have been praying for.
5. Do Not be a Hindrance: One of the things I do not want to do is be a Hindrance to those coming. You may be asking, how in the world can I do this? By either Grieving (cause great distress) or quench (stifle or suppress) the great work of the Holy Spirit.

Revival is here and it is now time to listen to what God has to say. But, much, much, more, let us obey what God ask of us. We are going to have a great time. May the Lord bless all of you.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 10/14/12

October has been set aside as Minister Appreciation Month. However, it is also a time for me, the Pastor, to appreciate you, the congregation of New Bethel Baptist Church.

Ferrell and I are so happy to be here and we both are so happy to be working with all of you. I feel this will be my last ministry and I know God has me here for a reason. There is so much we need to get done and some of it will be very easy to accomplish. However, some of it will take some time to accomplish. I ask you, as your Pastor, to bear with us and look to the greater outcome instead of the short-term effects. I know God is going to do a great work here and I know God wants New Bethel to be a shining light in a world of darkness and sin.

Ferrell and I want to take the opportunity to thank all of you. Thank you for all the vegetables and fruit you have already given us. We put a lot of them up and when we eat them, we will think of you. Thank you for the kindness you have shown and most of all the hospitality we have received. Most of all, thank you for all the love you have shown to us for we have certainly felt all of it. In addition, we want to give that same love to all of you.

And finally, thank you all for working with us here. It takes a lot of work and a lot of people to get things done. In a few weeks the Nominating Committee will begin its work. Do not be afraid to take on some responsibility when asked to. This is the way things get done. God Bless all of you and may the Lord Richly Bless all of you.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 10/7/12

In a very short few weeks, we are going to be having our Fall Revival. Dr. Phillip Burden from Cropwell Baptist Church in Pell City Alabama will be with us to bring the messages. Phillip is one of the best Expository Preachers I have ever heard. His preaching leaves nothing to the imagination and you will be blessed by it. One thing I can say about Phillip, when he preaches one either gets happy or under conviction.

As an added event for our Revival, Brother Phillip will be bringing with him his Music Minister, Brother Andy Hadley. Here is where we need your help. We need the best and biggest Choir ever, at least fifteen. Brother Andy is going to be leading the music and the Choir during this Revival. We need as many as we can to become choir members for this event. Brother Andy is going to be sending us some information we can work on before he and Phillip arrives. In addition, Brother Andy may want to work with the Choir the Saturday before the Revival so we need your help now. Also, Brother Andy and Brother Phillip will be doing a lot of special music each night and folks; you really do not want to miss any of this—not one single night.

So, let’s step up to the plate and let’s make this Revival one of the best we have ever had. Put the dates on your calendar, clear anything that would get into the way of this Revival, and we need as many as we can to be in the Choir during this Revival. It is going to be exciting, I can promise you that. So, let’s get ready for God to Bless us, Call us, and empower us for a great work that lies ahead. God Bless you all.

Pastor Wade
