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!

We as a church are blessed to have had such godly, Christian men to preach. Rev. Johnny Thomas and his wife Linda were here for the month of March and what a joy to have had them. They had an effect on so many of us.
Today Bro. Joey Stewart will bring the message at both services. He has preached three other times and has brought spirit filled messages to the people. He and his wife Janet have two children. We also have Robert Franklin, Jr., who will share his testimony.
It has been 6 months since the fire and the church is getting real close to being finished with all restoration.
Keep on praying and let’s all work together for the glory of God.

What a good service we had Sunday & Wednesday. It is so good to have Rev. Thomas to preach to us about “The Road to Calvary” and how important it is for us to walk that road. He preached that we must be a forgiving church. We must forgive with love in our hearts. God wants everyone to have eternal life. Some people do not even know that they are lost and going to hell UNTIL we give them the plan of salvation. We must be a witness for God, no matter where we are. Sunday’s message came from Luke, Wednesday’s message came from Matthew. It has been said to me many times that one cannot out give God. As Rev. Thomas said Wednesday night, if we put 1st things 1st, the 2nd things are thrown in. We must put Jesus 1st in our lives and the rest just falls into place, even better than we could have imagined.
The search committee has made a recommendation and they did this with much earnest prayer. We will begin today following the process of election. Please pray earnestly that God’s will be done.
If you have a chance, read 1st, 2nd and 3rd John. I read them this week and it lifted my spirits. We are a loving and forgiving family of God, for which I am thankful to be a part.

Rev. Thomas spoke both Sunday & Wednesday night from Matthew. We must be totally committed to following Jesus. We are different and should act differently. As we pass through this world, we must keep our minds on God. To be different, by focusing on God and not trying to be worldly, we just might be a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block to others. How blessed we are to be able to come and worship with others here at New Bethel. As Rev Thomas said, “It is God’s will for us to be in church”. The Preschool is back. Pray for the leaders and the children as they adjust to yet another change this school year.
What a wonderful set of deacons who want to serve you and God. Please let us know if there is anything you need from us. Keep praying for the pulpit committee.
God’s promise to us is that he will never leave or forsake us. What more can we ask of Him? With Him, we have everything. GLORY TO HIS NAME!!
