TODAY
The SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER will be observed during morning worship. Anyone who has been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and who is trusting in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is welcome to partake. For children who have not yet publicly professed their faith, Bethel’s practice is to allow them to participate, if in the judgment of their parents, they understand that Jesus died for their sins.
It is our joy this morning to baptize Jessica & Megan Meyer daughters of Dave & Laurie Meyer.
Grandparents: Donald & Delores Steinecke
David & Mary Ellen Meyer.

MISSIONS OF THE MONTH……….
GERIEF BIBLE SCHOOL….. This school is located in Khartoum Sudan. This 3 year course is designed to prepare evangelist and teachers to go into the communities to share the gospel and to start churches. It is also used as the first level before the Nile Theological College. One problem Gereif Bible School is having is keeping good quality teachers employed. They can make a much higher salary in government employment. Our money sent would help offset this.
LATCOM…..Right now, LATCOM is supporting community development in villages in eastern Bolivia, where churches are being planted, a community garden project has started, and community leaders are being trained. Thousands of youth each year are being impacted for life by attending Monte Blanco’s camping programs. In Santa Cruz we are teaching leadership skills to students at a large Christian high school and are offering parenting seminars for the city’s churches. This past April we presented our character-based leadership seminars to leaders of Hispanic communities—in New England?
CAMPUS CRUSADE – GINNY HUSTON TUNG…..Alan and I would like to start off by saying thank you to everyone for welcoming us into your church back in June. We really loved worshipping with you and talking with many of you. We took seminary classes that Campus Crusade provides for us this summer and we look forward to getting back on campus guiding our students into a deeper relationship with our Savior! Please be praying for us as we start back up this fall. It is always a crazy time where we will be working hard to get the gospel out as students come flooding on to the campuses in the Hampton Roads area of Va.
