Remember that DECEMBER WILL BE A MONTH OF REST. Wednesday’s Word: Bible Study classes will resume in January 2024. |
|
Our THEME for the month of December will be GIFTS FROM GOD. Enter the month with excitement and anticipation as we learn more about what the Bible teaches us about GIFTS FROM GOD. |
|
Today is SHEPHERD’S SUNDAY! All Bethelites are encouraged to consistently sow into the life of our Pastor as he consistently speaks deliverance, direction, and destiny into our lives. THE INTERCESSORY AND NEW DISCIPLE MINISTRIES will bless Pastor Marable. |
|
Today is also FIRST FRUIT SUNDAY! Praise God! All Bethelites who have obtained a new job, opened a business, or received a raise are encouraged to sow a First Fruit Seed. Sow according to your faith and watch God provide every need. Remember that the principle of the First Fruit giving teaches us that what you do with the first determines what happens with the rest. |

You can also make a monetary donation using our giving platforms for this effort. Christmas donations should be made by December 17th so we will have them on Christmas Eve. Jesus is the Reason for the Season! |
