Good Morning Bethesda!
Monday morning greetings from your pastor! I’m very disappointed to have been unable to worship with you yesterday. However, I praise God that brother Rick was willing to step in for me on short notice and preach God’s message to you. He is a very able brother in the Lord and I heard good reports concerning our worship service.
As for me, I have been fighting dizzy spells since Friday morning. Currently, the belief is I have an inner ear infection. I am on medication and I think I am improving. The spells are less frequent and less severe. Thank you for your prayers and I ask that you keep them coming!
Please also pray for our church. Next Saturday morning, an interrogation committee will meet with brother Dan in preparation to ordain him as a deacon. The New Testament only refers to two offices in the local church so this is a very important meeting. Pray for Dan as well as for those who will be doing the interrogation.
And continue to pray for revival at Bethesda. We need the Spirit to move among us.
May our Lord grant you a great week!
