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.

Our Youth Pastor Larry David Freeman

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.


Bethel's Youth Group

God is good, all the time!!!

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!

Spoonbread Festival 2009

For Berea's Spoonbread Festival this year our church had a booth set up where we shared about the activities that our church takes part in and we made salvation bracelets to give away! We also handed out over 500 New Testament Bibles!!!



As we made the bracelets we were able to share the Gospel of Jesus! We were able to hand out over 600 bracelets.

Glory be to God!

Here is what the bead colors for the salvation bracelets represent:

BLACK---Sin
Romans 3: 23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

RED---Blood of Christ
Romans 5:8-9 "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us..."

BLUE---Baptism
Romans 6:4 "We were therefore buried with him through baptism..."

WHITE---Forgiveness
Psalm 32:1 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."

GREEN---Growing in God
2 Peter 3: 18 “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…”

GOLD---Heaven
Revelation 21:21 "...And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass."

We had several members of our Children in Action there to help with the bracelets!

This is some of our youth group with Youth Pastor Larry David Freeman
