Before I write my article this week, I want to let everyone know what a great time Ferrell and I had with the youth this week. I am very proud of them and we also want to thank the teachers that were there. Everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Anthony, Susan, Chrystal, and Betty for all their great work. It was a great time.
I want to dedicate the rest of my article to one subject this week--Our Pre-School. Many of you already know Mrs. Karen resigned to take another position this week. She did so much for our Pre-school and we want to wish her well and God's speed. Please be praying for Mrs. Karen and her new job.
Also we need your prayers for our Pre-school in the coming year. At this point, we are below the number of students needed. If you know someone who might be considering sending their child to Pre-school, let them know about New Bethel Pre-school Program. In additional, if you would like to sponsor a child in Pre-School this year, please let us know. Your investment will pay dividends for years to come and could be instrumental in bringing a child to Christ. Remember, we cannot place a price on Salvation.
If you can help in other ways, please see Brenda or myself and let us know. Remember to pray and ask the Lord to open doors for all of us. Thanks to all and God bless.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 6/24/12
Hello to all in the Name of Our Lord,
What a great week this has been. I do not think I have been this busy in years but it is exciting to be working for the Lord. I have been working on our “Long Range” Goals for New Bethel and I must say, this is going to be very exciting and promising. Begin Praying right now for your calling in God. What is your Spiritual Gift? What has God called you to do? Find out what it is and let’s go to work for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ferrell and I want to thank everyone who came out and helped us with the yards at our Home in Bowman. It was a blessing to see all those men working and the yards are beginning to take shape. We have a few more things to do but the big things are now taken care of. Thanks to all who helped us this past Saturday. God Bless you all.
This is very important. We want to be sure all prayer requests/announcements are placed where they need to be. In order for us to do this, we are asking something of you. If you have a special Prayer request/announcement whether it is for family or friend, please use the pull off tab on the bulletin, flip it over and about two thirds way down, you will see a place to check for Prayer Request/announcements. Please check this and the lines below, please write in your announcement or prayer request. I can assure you it will get to the right hands and committee. This will assure your prayer request gets placed in the bulletin.
Story Time: A doctor, who was superintendent of the Sunday school, asked one of the boys this question: "William, what must we do in order to get to heaven?"
"We must die," said Willie.
"Very true," replied the doctor, "but what must we do before we die?"
"We must get sick and send for you."
May the Lord Bless you all: Pastor Wade

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. What a great day this is as we honor all our Dad’s out there. What is your fondest memory of your Dad? For me, it was the time he taught me how to swim. He took me down to the river below the house. He then jumped in and said; “Come on Wade, you can do it”. The water came up to my Father’s neck which would make it way over my head. I was afraid. But, he assured me he would never let me go under. I got up enough courage and I jumped in. But, to my surprise, Dad was on his knees so the water was not over my head. Dad taught me how to swim that day and I will never forget it. This is much like our Heavenly Father. He is always there to keep us from going under. If we trust Him, he will keep us floating.
Now, a word or two about our Vacation Bible School this year. Without a doubt, it was the best I have ever had the opportunity to be involved in. I want to give a special thanks to all the men and ladies who took part in this year’s VBS. It was a complete success. The kids loved the race cars and we had a few grudge races as well. There were 96 children enrolled and 63 adults. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS YEARS VBS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
I am so excited over what is happening here at New Bethel. I can see something great on the horizon. Keep coming to the First Service. Don’t forget about Sunday School and remember the Second Worship Service as well. Remember, we must work together for God to use New Bethel Baptist Church. God Bless to all. We are looking forward to really moving forward in the next months.

MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY: Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

What a great week we have had. Beginning with last Sunday where Six (6) wonderful young people were baptized, it was just a great week. For those who did not make it Wednesday Evenings Bible Study, we are continuing in the “Book of James”. Last Wednesday, we looked at what True Religion was all about.
Don’t forget about VBS beginning tonight:
VBS is not just for kids anymore. I will be teaching an Adult Class with five great lessons. So, come on out and enjoy the fun. We are going to “Rev it up for God and go into Full Throttle”.
Ferrell and I need your help:
Please remember, we are setting up a Yard Clean-up day on June 23rd, (Saturday) about 8:00 AM for our Home in Bowman. We sure could use some help with Bush hogging, Cutting down a few trees (one very large one), and removing an old garage. The old garage has plenty of old but good wood in it if anyone wants it and the trees will produce a bunch of fire wood. Thanks to all who will be helping us out on this.
Long Range Church Growth Plans:
I have been working hard on putting together a long range growth plan for the church. Once VBS and Vacations are over, I will be introducing these plans to the church. Please be praying on how God can use you to help New Bethel Grow and Prosper in the name of the Lord. God bless you all and have a great week in the Lord.

Weekly Bulletin Message - 6/3/12
Praise the Lord, God is very good, all the time. What a great service we had last Sunday as we celebrated two events. First, we celebrated our Memorial Day remembering all those who served and gave their lives for this country. Secondly, we celebrated with those who graduated from High School, a wonderful time in their lives. We wish them all the best.
Today, we celebrate again but this time with all those who are following the Lord in Believer’s Baptism. I again want to wish all of them the best in life and may their lives be a witness for our Lord Jesus Christ. What is Baptism and why are we baptized?
1. Baptism was set for by our Lord Jesus Christ as one of the two ordinances of the Church. The other being the Lord’s Supper.
2. Baptism simply means to be immersed totally
3. Jesus Himself, who did not need to be baptized ask John the Baptist to baptize him as to set the example for all of us today.
4. The direct meaning of Baptist is as follows:
a. Baptist shows the world the person has been saved by our Lord’s Precious Blood
b. Baptist shows the world the person has died with Christ as shown by the Watery Grave
c. Baptist shows the world the person will be resurrected with Christ one day.
I praise God for each and every one of our candidates today and let us all pray for them as they begin their new lives with Christ Jesus. They will need all the encouragement and lifting up as they can get.
In a few weeks, I am planning a work day at our home in Bowman to get the yards cleaned up. Some of the men here have expressed the desire to help Ferrell and I get the yards cleaned up. We will need a bush-hog, front-end loader, chain saws, and yard rakes & such. If you would like to help, please let me know. The date will probably be right after VBS. Oh, by the way, come on out for VBS. It is going to be exciting. Have a great week and may the Lord Bless you all.

Praise the Lord, God is at Work, all the time. What a great service we had last Sunday. God truly spoke to my heart as I preached on Romans 1: 19-23. There were a few questions concerning verse 20 that I would like to address. What is this verse really saying?
Nature shows us a God of might, intelligence, and intricate detail; a God of order and beauty; a God who controls powerful forces. That is general revelation. Through special revelation (the Bible and the coming of Jesus), we learn about God's love and forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. God has graciously given us both sources that we might fully believe in him. God reveals his divine nature and personal qualities through creation, even though creation's testimony has been distorted by the fall. Adam's sin resulted in a divine curse upon the whole natural order; thorns and thistles were an immediate result, and natural disasters have been common from Adam's day to ours. In Romans 8:19-21, Paul says that nature itself is eagerly awaiting its own redemption from the effects of sin.
Also, there have been some questions concerning the “Accountable Reimbursement Policy”. The Accountable Reimbursement Policy has been placed in the Records of the church for me, the pastor and any future Staff the church might have. This is something I have to do according to the IRS and to help me with my Salary. The church policy on the “Purchase Orders” is still the same. If someone needs to be reimbursed for something they purchased for the church, please bring you ORIGINAL receipt for the item(s) purchased to the office and the process for the reimbursement will be take place. I pray this has helped you to understand. God Bless to all and have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day.

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.
