What a great Sunday we had last week. The Baby dedication was awesome, the signing was right from Heaven, and the Message touched many hearts. It was a great day for all you Mom’s out there and I pray you had a great day.
Dr. J.B. Gambrel tells an amusing story from General Stonewall Jackson’s famous valley campaign. Jackson’s army found itself on one side of a river when it needed to be on the other side.
After telling his engineers to plan and build a bridge so the army could cross, he called his wagon master in to tell him that it was urgent the wagon train cross the river as soon as possible. The wagon master started gathering all the logs, rocks and fence rails he could find and built a bridge. Long before day light General Jackson was told by his wagon master all the wagons and artillery had crossed the river. General Jackson asked where are the engineers and what are they doing? The wagon master’s only reply was that they were in their tent drawing up plans for a bridge. From the Pulpit Helps, May, 1991
Kind of makes you think doesn’t it. There are some who spend more time planning than they do building. As a church, we will always make plans to do things. However, when something needs to be done, we all need to go to work and get it done. It will take everyone here at New Bethel to build a great Church for God. We already have the plans in the Word of God. Let’s rise and build and make God proud.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 5/13/12
Happy Mother’s Day! Ferrell and I want to wish all you Moms out there the best day ever. This is a special day. Mother's Day is our chance to honor the women who bind families together and raise children from babies to adulthood. Raising good kids is one of the most challenging, and also the most meaningful, things I've ever done. If you have not gotten your Mother a Gift for Mother’s Day, here are some things I found in Reader’s Digest not to buy her. Have a Great Mother’s Day.
Don’t buy anything that plugs in. Anything that requires electricity is seen as utilitarian.
Don’t buy clothing that involves sizes. The chances are one in seven thousand that you will get her size right, and your wife will be offended the other 6999 times. .
Avoid all things useful. The new silver polish advertised to save hundreds of hours is not going to win you any brownie points.
Don’t buy anything that involves weight loss or self-improvement. She’ll perceive a six-month membership to a diet center as a suggestion that’s she’s overweight.
Don’t buy jewelry. The jewelry your wife wants, you can’t afford. And the jewelry you can afford, she doesn’t want.
Finally, don’t spend too much. “How do you think we’re going to afford that?” she’ll ask. But don’t spend too little. She won’t say anything, but she’ll think, “Is that all I’m worth?”

Weekly Bulletin Message - 5/6/12
If I had only one word to describe my first Sunday here at New Bethel it would be “Fantabulous” and this is a real word. It is defined as “the highest form of Awesome”. If there were any doubt as to if God wanted me here it is gone now. We had two great services for our Lord. Ferrell and I want to thank you all for accepting us like you have. God Bless you all. Now down to business.
I want to remind all those who want to take part in the Mother’s Day Baby Dedication to get your information to me or Brenda today! We have things we need to purchase and we need to know all the information today: (Babies full name, Parents Name, & Birthday of child).
Baptism: I know recently that many have been saved. Those saved need to be baptized in accordance to the Word of God. We are now working to set up a date that will be good for every if possible. If you want to be baptized, please place your full name on a piece of paper and give it to Connie Harris.
One final thought: Please be patient with us as we continue to settle in. It is going to take a while for our home to be completed. I am in the Office everyday unless I am out visiting. If you need me, please call the church and Brenda can get in touch with me. We look forward to Ministering to all of you and getting to know each and every one of you personally in the future. Let’s make New Bethel the best church ever for our Lord. Oh, one more thing; we will be getting our phones changed in about a week. We will post those numbers in the church bulletin for all of you. Thank you again for calling us here. Now, let’s go forward for our Lord.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 4/29/12
Rev. Joey Stewart preached last week at New Bethel and what a powerful service each time. Wednesday night Steve McFarlin sang, The Anchor Holds before the message, and did a tremendous job. The sweet spirit was flowing throughout the congregation. Today we welcome our new Pastor, Dr. Wade Bridges and his wife Ferrell to our church.
A Message from Pastor Wade
Ferrell and I are excited to be here with our New Bethel Church family. We are looking forward to ministering and working for God’s glory and honor. The last few weeks has brought about changes for many families. There have been babies born and 16 new births in the Lord. Many blessings the Lord has given. We are excited about what God has done and what he is going to do.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 4/15/12
God is good and so are all of you. Thank you for making the Easter Services so special. To all who set up the area for the services, the cooking, the preaching, the singing, the attending, the flowers, the web site, and whatever part you did.
We welcome Pastor Bridges and Ms. Ferrell with open arms and hearts. God has provided us abundantly with many, many good people here at New Bethel. All have worked to make this the place to come and worship. As I have said many times, I love this church and everyone in it.
The sermon last week on “The Elements of the Resurrection” was outstanding. Because of The Person, plan, and promise of resurrection, we have the power in the resurrection that we are alive in Christ and we will never, ever die. We have much to celebrate. Glory to His Name!
Someone told me this week that prayer is not a spare wheel that we pull out when we are in trouble, but a steering wheel that directs us in the right path throughout life. While this has been a tough physical time for me in the last couple of weeks, I never for one minute doubted that God was on my side and holding me in the palm of his hand. The deacons and members of this church have lifted me up in prayer and I felt the love shown to me during this time.
As we begin our new journey with Dr. Bridges, let’s give of our personal resources, our abilities, and our time to serve God with love and compassion in our hearts. Keep Pastor Bridges and Ms. Ferrell in prayer and all of our congregation, friends, and neighbors.
What A Mighty God We Serve!
