The offering today is for Ministry Support for Diana Boot. Diana is working in Uganda as a Christian Education Specialist, working with Christian teachers to help them grow in their understanding and practice of teaching as a reflection of their calling to serve God in all they are and do. She helps to develop intentional thinking and teaching practice that Christian teachers will, in turn, impart to others.
Next Sunday’s offering will be for support for the En-Gedi Children’s Home - Margaret Njuguna. At the En-Gedi Children’s Home in Kenya, the love of God is shared with the many children who love each other, play together, sing and dance as they have been able to do so. They are created in God’s image. They are not disabled. They are abled differently!
Today we will be celebrating Pentecost and the sacrament of Baptism. Both of these are special moments that are connected with dreaming and hope. The Bile talks about the power of visions and dreaming. These being signs of life and hope in places like Joel 2. Pastor Jake would love to hear from you. What are you dreaming about for your life? And Bethel? Please consider writing some of your dreams and visions down and placing them in the offering plate today. Paper is located here in the bulletin, or emails your thoughts to Pastor Jake at jacobhboer@gmail.com. He will then share some of these dreams (without names) in next month’s Bethel newsletter as he will be reflecting on the power of a dream for our church.
