Come on in ... the reading is superb ... and the party is just around the corner! The summer of 2010 is just about two-thirds completed and we continue to roll through the "Bible in 90 Days".  What a fun thing it has been to do this summer.  But, even if you chose not to read along with us, you have been a part of the journey because we as a congregation have been following along on Sunday mornings as I have preached through highlights of the "90 Day" readings.  Some of you have kicked yourself for not taking the 90 Day Challenge.  So I wanted to offer you another chance to jump right in. Starting on Sunday, August 8th, we will be beginning the New Testament.  It is a great place to join in the fun.  If you are concerned about keeping up with the reading, (about 12 pages a day), you can now begin reading the New Testament right now and get a head start on completing the New Testament by the end of August.  Just let us know your email address, via the Sunday Fellowship Pad or send it to office@bethelpres.org, and you will be included in the mailings that the reading group is receiving. You can also pick up a schedule of the readings on the cart at the front door of the church.  You will be blessed as you let the Word of God dwell within you.  Happy reading as you enjoy God's story. P.S.  Don't miss the end of the summer celebration, celebration!  It is happening Sunday night, August 29th, at 6 pm.  It is a celebration of the end of summer, and everyone's Un-Birthday!  The celebration will include skits, entertainment, talent and ice cream!!!!  What could be better!  See you there! I am proud to be your friend, pastor and fellow minister, Jerry
