Pastor Steve Lalk

Dear Bethlehem Family:

Where did summer go? It's hard to believe that we are beginning to enter into the fall season and school is beginning this month. We must have been having a lot of fun, because time sure flew by this summer. Of course I am alluding to the saying, “Time flies when you're having fun.” Well actually we have had a lot of fun this last month and there are a lot of people to thank as a result of the fun that we have been having.

First I want to thank those who made our New Members Class which was held on Aug. 22 possible. What a joy it was to celebrate and train the 33 individuals that God has brought into our church this last year. I want to make you aware that on Sept. 12, we will have a Combined Service at 11:00 am to celebrate our new members. Immediately after the service, we will have a New Members Banquet in our Fellowship Hall, which will be a wonderful time of fellowship & fun. Everyone is asked to bring enough food to feed their family plus one other person.

As we begin our new church year I am excited to see what God is going to do in and through our church in this upcoming year. I'm excited to see those that He will be adding to our fellowship. This last year God has chosen to add 33 wonderful people to come work along side us as we work together for the building up of God's kingdom here at Bethlehem.

Speaking of working together, we have a wonderful opportunity to do this in our upcoming revival beginning Sept. 26-29. Our guest speaker will be evangelist Randy Hogue. Randy hails from Cullman, Alabama and has been in evangelism since 1972. Year after year God's blessing has been upon Randy as he proclaims the Gospel through crusades and revivals. When I spoke to Randy last month, he said that already this year 4,500 decisions have been made for Christ. It is awesome to see what God is doing in and through this man for the building up of His Kingdom. I am glad that God is allowing him to come and bring to us the message that God wants us to hear. I hope that you be as excited as well. Begin now to pray, if you have not already. Then once you've prayed, pray again and again that God's Mighty Spirit might fall upon us during this time. Begin thinking about those whom God is impressing upon your heart to invite to these very special meetings. I have no doubt Randy will be faithful to bring to us the word of God. I pray that we will be faithful not only in our attendance but also bringing others, so that God can speak to our hearts and other hearts as well.

With Christ's love,
Pastor Steve
