What a great Program we had last week. I cannot count the number of calls, text messages, and complements we had on both the Children’s Program and the Adult Program. Both were very good and I congratulate the CMT and Courtney as well as the Children and the Choir for such a moving performance. It was great to say the least. Thanks to all who made it great too.
Please remember, there will be NO Wednesday Night Service this week. This will give all of us time with our families during this Christmas season. We will pick up Wednesday Evening Bible Study on January 2nd, with a New Study. We are going to be doing a full Discipleship Study on the Doctrines of the Bible. For this reason, please pick up you a vinyl three-hole binder to store your study notes. As we go forward in this study, we will be looking at a lot of doctrines and when we are finished, you will have a very nice book on the Doctrines of the Bible.
Also, I am planning to begin a New Member/New Convert Class the first of the year. If you have never attended one of these classes, it would be good for you to attend. It will be done during the Sunday school hour.
If you wish to help a needy family this year, why not give to our Benevolent Fund. The church will then be able to help them in area’s they need best. Just earmark your check or donation to the Benevolent Fund, New Bethel Baptist Church.
Finally, Ferrell and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy and prosperous New Year. We look forward to seeing what God is going to do this great New Year. God bless you all and remember to give the gift that keeps giving forever—Jesus Christ.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 12/9/12
Hello everyone. What a great service we had last Sunday. We are seeing God work in ways that simply blesses the heart. Praise God for His Goodness and Healing Power.
A few weeks ago and ever since, I have been telling you we are going to be changing our Morning Worship Service Style a bit. Please remember, this is not to diminish any of our order of service whatsoever. But, I sincerely believe this will help our Worship Service to be more powerful than ever. Below is a sketch of what our Worship Services will look like on the first Sunday in January.
Welcome: I, the pastor will welcome everyone here and recognize any visitors we may have.
Bulletin and Prayer Time: The following changes in both are as follows:
• Bulletin: Since the bulletin is written out, I will no longer be reading the bulletin to you. Only the announcements that are not in the bulletin or any announcement that might have changed will be read out loud.
• Prayer Time: Each week, you will be given a list of Prayer request on Paper. If you would like your prayer request to be on this single paper, please call Brenda or place it on the Bulletin tear-off tab and fill it out & place it into the collection plate as it comes around. If you have a special prayer request, we will ask you to come and either sit on the front pew or kneel for a special time of prayer. Other than calling out names, we will have those names put on the prayer sheet each week. Many times prayer request are forgotten if they are just called out. Anyone who would like to join us for prayer time can come to the altar and pray with us for those names and others on the Prayer sheet. This will in no way diminish the prayer time but will help it to be smoother.
Fellowship Time: Fellowship time will follow our Prayer time. This would be a great time to have Fellowship time as people are already walking back to their seats.
Song Service: We will now begin our Song Service with hymns, choir, and special music.
Message: The message will follow the song service. This will keep things flowing without interruptions.
Invitation: The invitation will follow the Morning message.
Tithes/Offerings: The Tithes and Offerings will follow the invitation.
Benediction and Close: We will then have our closing prayer and dismissal. Only if there is a Baptism at the end will this change.
I believe this will help our Worship Service greatly and will give us ample time to do all we have to do during our Worship Service. I look forward to a great year and we need your prayers. God Bless to all and have a great week.
Pastor Wade

Weekly Bulletin Message - 12/2/12
Look over this. I found 2 errors and corrected them. Thanks for your help.
I will print on Thursday.
As Thanksgiving passes, we begin to hear and see the commercialization of the Holiest time of the year. It seems everyone is bidding for your dollar this Christmas. Before all the family get-to-gethers take place, before all the cooking, and before all the giving we do this year, let us take a moment today to remember what Christmas is all about. Christmas is a time of celebration. It is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, how this gets forgotten in all the hustle and bustle of this time of year. I try very hard not to say the word “Holidays” very much. Why, because it diminishes the real reason for the Season.
Christmas also brings with it an end to a year. This may not have been a good year for you or it may have been the best. As I ponder the things that has and has not happened this year, I cannot ever forget one most memorial thing in the past year. “WE CAME HERE TO NEW BETHEL”. Of all the joys Ferrell and I had this past year, coming here was the best. In closing, I want to say three things to each and every one of you here at New Bethel.
1. REMEMBER WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT
2. LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO IN THE NEW YEAR
3. REMEMBER, WE LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU
God Bless To All,
Pastor Wade
