1 BETHESDA NEWS A community caring for all God s people, being transformed by Christ's love, serving others as a witness of God s grace and peace. Bethesda Mennonite Church December 8, 2013 Deacon election: The final Deacon election will take place today, December 8. The two nominees are Kathryn Goertzen and John Huebert. The newly elected deacon will begin attending the deacon meetings immediately following being elected to the Deacon Board and officially begin his/her term following the Bethesda Annual Meeting in February. The deacon leaving the Deacon Board will continue to serve until the Bethesda Annual Meeting. This will allow for a smoother transition for the board. The Preschool Festival of Carols will be held on tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary. Please join the children for an evening filled with the joy of Christmas! We will have songs and stories about the blessed day that Jesus was born! An offering will be received for Bethesda Preschool; money will be put towards finishing our playground project!

We gather in the northwest adult classroom, across from the Preschool, at 8:55 a.m. and dismiss by 9:15 a.m. We need your prayer support as we continue our search. ~Pastoral Search Committee The Prayer Board, located near the church office, is a place to post prayers that come to the office. If you wish to have a prayer matter posted, please call the church office, Pastor Jim Voth, or him at jim@mainstaycomm.net. These may be prayers of praise, thanksgiving or intercession. If you wish to post a prayer for someone other than yourself, please request their permission. Thank you!

Thank you for your prayers for those who are grieving and suffering in the storm s wake. Potluck: The Young Adult Sunday School Class is looking for 1-2 people to help organize the dishes during the Sunday school hour. A signup sheet is located at the Coffee Spot in the Fellowship Hall with more information. Coming Events A simple pageant, Kneeling in Bethlehem will be held on December 24 at 7:00 p.m. All are invited to enjoy scripture reading and prose, as well as congregation participation through singing of familiar Christmas carols.
4 On Christmas Day, December 25 we will meet in the sanctuary for a time of worship, inspiration, singing and fellowship. We will dedicate the Infant Care Kits which have been assembled in the past weeks before Christmas. Marjorie Smith will also share memories about Christmas Bundles which were an important part of giving in Mennonite churches in previous years. Christmas stories and carols will be part of this service. Please join us and bring any guests as we honor the day set aside to remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Communion Date Change to January 5 This year, instead of a New Year's Eve Communion Service, we will be offering communion during worship on Epiphany Sunday, January 5, Communion was recommended for Epiphany Sunday by Mennonite Church USA for all congregations across the United States to celebrate together our unity in our diversity as we close out the Advent series, "O, the Mystery of God's Dwelling." The Deacon Board affirmed this recommendation and determined this service will replace the New Year's Eve Service. The Deacons feel that it is important to remember this past year, especially those who have passed away, therefore, this information will be included in the December 29 bulletin. A birthday gathering for December birthdays will be hosted by Lisa Tessman on Tuesday, December 10, at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Please RSVP to Lisa at or sign up on the Bethesda Women s Ministries bulletin board. Women s Bible Study A Beth Moore Bible study titled The Making of a More Honest Me, based on Genesis 32, will be led by Susan Friesen on January 13, 20 and 27, at 7:00 p.m. A signup sheet is located on the east bulletin board.
