Friends and family of Bethel:
To help clear up any confusion and questions about what is happening in the church with Pastor Danny Chance being on sick leave. Here is the current situation.
Brother Danny wanted to leave brother David Burns in care of the church in his absence. However, due to brother David's illness, he cannot fulfill that responsibility. Going forward, he will continue preaching the Wednesday evening services, and brother Danny Gipson will assume responsibility' for both Sunday services for the next few months. Pastor Chance will attend services when his health permits, but he needs time to focus on his health improvement.
Our responsibility to the church is to keep it healthy untill he returns. Pray for the church and continue to support it the same as you did when he was there. Continue attending all services. This is not the time to be slack. When a pastor is out, the church is very vulnerable. Everybody needs to step up, not away. We need each other now more than ever before.
Remember, it's God's church, and it's our responsibility' to take care of it while our shepherd is away. I know that brother Burns and brother Gipson will appreciate your support.
And we cannot forget to thank brother Johnny Gipson for all the help he and his wife, Elaine, have given. I am certain they will be an important part of our family in the future.
Love-in-Christ. Bethel Incline.
