Demolition!!

Image
Work has begun on the remodelling work planned for Bethlehem. Including carpeting, painting, repairs, insulation, and refurbishment this will be a welcome makeover for our worship space. The earliest work was completed this week with insulation being added to the church hall. Work also began on opening up the front of the church by the removal of the pulpit and the baptismal font. Some hard work by a couple of demolition "experts" was the first step and was followed by a clean up afterwards. See if you can identify the "experts" from the before, during and after photos displayed below. BEFORE : DURING : AFTER : Following last week's message there was some discussion as to whether this would be considered an act of helpfulness. Perhaps it fails the test of being the sort of thing that nobody would notice??? But it certainly helped the process along. Well done to the workers (whoever they were).

Confirmation Sunday

Congratulations to our confirmees! It was wonderful to share in this special day as you made your promises to walk with Jesus. He also reaffirmed his baptismal promises to you and will strengthen you each day. May the feet of God walk with you, and his hand hold you tight. May the eye of God rest on you, and his ear hear your cry. May the smile of God be for you, and his breath give you life. May the child of God grow in you, and his love bring you home.
