Ministry Minute: Bethlehem Walk

Did you know that over 1,000 people visit the Bethlehem Walk in December? Even though it’s only a two-day event, there is a dedicated team that works year-round to prepare for it!

It also takes 100+ volunteers to bring Bethlehem to life—from actors playing guides, guards, shepherds, and angels to those who help with setup, takedown, and everything in between.

There’s a place for everyone to serve! More information and volunteer opportunities will be coming in September. Stay tuned!

“Hallelujah!” was shouted during the children’s sermon this morning as we began the day praising God and praying over our teachers as the new school year begins!

Students dropped off their school supplies, and then our church and school families enjoyed ice cream and hot dogs, and spent time with Myra while supporting the Comfort Dog Ministry fundraiser!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this such a great morning!

Psalm 130:3-4

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
