When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
Genesis 28:16-17

Council Notes:
1. There will be a Christmas Day worship service at the regularly scheduled time of 9:30a.m. Bethel will not be holding a New Year’s Eve service this year.
2. We received an update from the Deacons that the Peter Fish Project had collected $800. The Deacons have decided to match that amount from the Benevolence fund.
3. In anticipation of observing the Lord’s Supper, Censura Morum was conducted.
Bethel Members – Action Needed: Please consider sending 1, 2 or all the missionaries listed below an encouraging and thankful Christmas Card/Letter this year as they carry out the great commission “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”. In this way we can all contribute to the important command from our Savior. Thank you.
