The Perfect Story

We had our Christmas play during tonight's worship service and were very blessed! Everyone involved did a tremendous job glorifying God with their parts and their dedication. All of the audience definitely heard the story that truly matters this Christmas and that is "The Perfect Story" of how our Savior came into this world to give us the gift of Eternal Life!

Here are a few pictures from "The Perfect Story":

Pie Social

Sunday night after our evening worship service we headed down to our fellowship hall for an ol' fashioned pie/dessert social! We had two tables full of delicious sweets!

Yummy desserts!

After everyone had finished eating the Brotherhood presented Bro. Jimmy with a gift.

The WMU presented Sheila with a gift as well!

They are both dedicated servants of our Lord and bless our church family tremondously!

Thank you for all that you do!

The Brotherhood had gotten Jimmy a new Bible with a very nice leather holder.

The WMU had gotten Sheila a broach made by Ivy Helms from our Ladies Night Out and also a digital camera!

Tates Creek Baptist Association - Clear Creek Day

On Sunday November 15th our association held a Clear Creek Baptist Bible College Day. During the morning worship services eight current students from the college would be speaking in different churches in our association. For our Sunday morning worship service Evan Eckler brought us an encouraging word and a wonderful message. Please join us in praying for the students and staff at this college.

Sunday evening Bro. Kenny Queener, a graduate from CCBBC and Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Harrodsburg, KY, brought us a wonderful message as well.

Samaritan's Purse - Operation Christmas Child

On Friday night Bethel's WMU got together, like they do every year, to put together shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.

These shoeboxes filled with small gifts, necessities, and covered in prayer will go to children all around the world. They will not only get these shoeboxes, but they'll get to hear about the best thing they could ever possibly hear about - and that is how much Jesus loves them!

Our WMU ladies getting the items ready to begin packing!

Our Children in Action group was invited to help out with this mission's project and they gladly accepted!

Here are some of the boxes that were put together! Our grand total was 56 shoeboxes!

We had a great time of fellowship putting these precious gifts together!

4th Annual Ladies Night Out

Bethel Baptist Church held it's 4th annual Ladies Night Out tonight and was graciously hosted by our sister church Westside Baptist. We came together as sisters-in-Christ and had a tremendous time of fellowship and worship!

Bro. Kenny was there at the beginning to welcome all of the ladies.

After the greeting in the sanctuary we all headed to the fellowship hall for dinner.

The food was delicious and the fellowship was very sweet!

Before our service began Sheila handed out door prizes. (a.k.a "Happies")

Thank you to all of the ladies that attended and we pray you were blessed. We also want to thank Westside for their wonderful hospitality and opening up their beautiful building to us!

Youth's Mission Presentation

On Sunday evening September 27th our youth did a presentation about their mission trip to Mississippi in June.

To start the evening off our Pre-Teen Drama Team performed a few song interpretations.

Here are a few of the slides from the presentation.

During the week they held a backyard Bible school, helped serve food in a soup kitchen, did some performances of their skits, and many more wonderful things showing Christ's love.

They also presented Bro. Hamp Valentine with a picture of him and his wife, Sandra, enjoying the beautiful ocean that God created!

Bro. Hamp also brought a certificate from the International Missionary Board and presented it to our church for being a top per capita donor to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering from 2008. To God be the glory!
