Good Wednesday Everyone,

Blessings to all this week. First of foremost, this must be said: – What an encouraging Lord’s Day. At Bethel we had an excellent service with so many in attendance worshipping the Lord. It is natural for us to want more people to come to Bethel Baptist with all we have experienced over the last few years. It excites us when we see so many in church. Our greater appreciation is more souls were praising and worshiping God, and more people are hearing the Word of God than the week before. Bethel Baptist desires for more people to keep coming. So, keep inviting and to keep sharing what God is doing at Bethel Baptist. Mark your calendar, or save in your phone Sunday, January 29, 2023 - THIS COMING LORD'S DAY. The last Sunday in January will be our “Fifth Sunday Fellowship” immediately after the service in the fellowship hall. The meal is pot-luck with Bethel providing the meat, but you are free to bring any dish or dessert to share. All are welcome!!

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Blessings to all this week. Don’t forget – Tonight is our Wednesday Night Fellowship. The menu is spaghetti, so as always help where you can with a side to pass or a dessert to share. The Bible study afterwards will continue in Revelation. We have just started so join us for this exciting study. We have had an excellent turn out with our children in recent weeks – Thank you parents for bringing your children to church. Children love being in church, and this will result in teens, and young adults, and families who love to be in church. Later this month: January 29, 2023, we have our “Fifth Sunday Fellowship”. We will meet in the fellowship hall immediately after the service. All are welcome!! This is an excellent opportunity to invite others to Bethel Baptist. The greatest social media platform you will ever have is a loving Christian church, and Bethel Baptist is such a place. If anyone has any ideas, input, or vision for any of our ministries please let one of Bethel Baptist staff members know. We want to meet the needs of families and children the best we can. Lastly for announcements, remember Bethel’s website (www.bethelfortdeposit.com) and Facebook page. Direct others to it and share your blessings with others. What matters to you, matters to others.

Good Wednesday Everyone,

We have reached the middle of another week. As always, tonight is our Wednesday Night Fellowship. The menu is ham and we will also have cheese pizza (not just for the kids), so help where you can with a side or a dessert to share. Our fellowship meal will be followed by our adult and children’s bible study time. As this is the first Wednesday of the quarter, we must present the import business and events at Bethel Baptist for you to be aware. You should want to know what is happening at Bethel Baptist: Come with questions, ideas, and visions for our future. This time on every Wednesday is always prayer focused to ask for intercession by the saints, and to report praises to Bethel’s faithful.

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Happy 2023!! Everything is almost back to normal. The end of the year comes rushing upon us and the new year always seems to start slowly. Let’s start this year right. Tonight, is our first Wednesday Night Fellowship of 2023. All activities and schedules return to normal times this week (Sunday School at 9:30; Worship at 10:40; Wednesday Fellowship at 6:00pm). Tonight’s main menu is chicken pot pie, so if you are able, bring anything to accompany chicken, or a dessert to share. As we move into 2023, we will continue to improve our Wednesday Night Fellowship in all areas. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, please look at Bethel Baptist’s website www.bethelfortdeposit.com. This is where you will find details about our fellowship, hear/see sermons, and communicate with our staff. The website is also an excellent place to send someone interested in our fellowship. Tell others, step back, and let the Holy Spirit work.

Merry Christmas

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Good Wednesday and Merry Christmas!! This is a wonderful week as we approach Christmas. It’s no longer almost Christmas – It is Christmas. What a start to our week as we were so blessed with Bethel Baptist’s Children’s Christmas Program. Sunday evening, our children gave us an incredible and wonderful blessing of what was happening all around the birth of Jesus Christ. A special thanks to Tamara and all her assistants who faithfully and with excellence prepared our children to give us so much. This Sunday evening, we learned something special about something we know so much about – We know how Christ came but we need to know why Christ came to us. Christ came, God came to rescue MY soul, and to show MY soul it’s worth. Christmas is a festive time of giving to those we love, but for Christians we celebrate the receiving of JOY from God. Then as they say, “The rest is history.”
