WOMEN...it's THAT TIME once again!
Time to REGISTER for the annual BETHEL WOMEN'S CONFERENCE!

This year's event is scheduled for the morning of OCTOBER 10th.

"When you hear the word HOME, how does your heart feel?
What emotions get stirred up deep inside?

Join us as we spend the morning reminiscing about HOME; acknowledging the hard while also recognizing the blessings!

And then, as scripture tells us in Hebrews 13:14, let us be reminded that THIS WORLD is NOT our permanent HOME...that the Lord is preparing a place with Him, for those who have surrendered their hearts and placed their lives in His hands!"

Need more details?

Check out the website link below.
Registration OPENS September 1st!
Must be registered to attend.

Doors open at 8:15 A.M. with the coffee bar all set and ready for your sweet face to enjoy!

Grab a friend and see what the Lord has in store for your heart!

Ohh, sweet Novvah Wesli...what a gift you are.

Created by the God who hung the stars and told the oceans where to stop at the shores.

He created you.

He loves you.
He is for you.
He knows you.

We pray that someday, you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord; that you will choose to surrender your life to Him and serve Him with your whole heart.

May you grow to testify to His goodness and faithfulness and follow Him all the days of your life.

Happy Baptism Day.

It is with deep sorrow that we have been invited to step into the grief that the Bryan and Bekah Hakeman family are currently walking through.

Early Sunday morning, full-term baby Zane Bryan was delivered into the arms of Jesus. Their home and hearts were prepared to become a family of five. And as the face of sweet, baby boy Zane will always be in their hearts and memories, they seek strength from the Lord to walk this earthly path of grief as a family of four.

Oh, the JOY of that day when they will be reunited and whole, as that family of five.

Until that day, your prayers are welcomed.

"Oh, Lord our great Comforter. As you hold baby Zane, may you also hold these tender broken hearts today and in the time to come."
