Back in May of 2022, Jerry Glaser organized a field trip for interested Bethel people to see Michigan's battle flags in Lansing. This is the scene when we all were greeted by our tour guide, Matt VanAcker, director and curator of Save Our Flags. As you may know, Jerry has traveled widely to visit many of the Civil War battlefields in America.

A PASTORAL LINEUP
A couple of years ago, with the help of Mike Gundy, we put together photos of Bethel's nine lead pastors - that is, the men who, since 1954, have been called by the congregation to serve in lead pastor roles. There have been nine of them. A few days ago I posted an AI-enhanced photo from Pastor Murray Hicks' ministry during the 1980s showing him at a table in our library with the church deacons and trustees.
One of those who commented below the photo challenged me to have AI bring together those nine men into a round-table portrait. I tried, and two of the results are below. As you'll see, they do not always give a perfect likeness of the faces. And a couple of efforts did not even have all nine at the table. Even so, the two best efforts stimulate the holy imagination and point out a truth worth remembering - that God stands outside of time and space. Six of the nine pastors are now with the Lord. The other three remain with us. In God's eyes, we are all a part of that great spiritual reality, all a part of the mystical Body of Christ, whether dead or alive, awaiting the great drama we find unfolding in the final chapters of St. John's book of Revelations.

At the head of the table was Pastor Murray Hicks, who pastored Bethel during most of the 1980s. This photo (modified as a painting) includes three men of the church who still are serving in various capacities. Can you ID them? They were, of course, much younger than they are these days - 40-some years later.
