Day Eight

I love God more than ever!!! His grace in my life constantly amazes me. Last night's Biblestudy class was fantastic! Everyone it seemed was filled with extra energy. Lot's of fun conversations and connections taking place. Let me give a HUGE THANK YOU to Larry and Dolly White for the awesome, best, most incredible, chicken soup ever...ever created!! Everyone enjoyed it.

Our Biblestudy was all about developing and deepening our relationship with God. Relationships are built and strengthened when ample time is spent getting to know the other person. All of us are busy. Our lives are so full. Whatever you give your time to tell's a lot about what you truly value. Time is considered a pretty valuable commodity these days. God has plans for us to thrive emotionally, financially, relationally and spiritually. Essential to experiencing His blessings is to make room for Him in your life. I hope that you value your relationship with Him enough to establish a daily time with Him in devotions and prayer.

I'm very excited about where God is taking us at Bethel Temple. God is always faithful to His Word. If you have just recently begun to attend Bethel Temple we are hosting a First Time Guests Luncheon on Sunday January 18, in the Fireside Room, immediately after the 10:30 morning worship service.This luncheon is open to any of our guests that have been coming to BT for the past few months and have been wanting to find out more about our church, staff, and look further into getting involved. Lunch and childcare will be provided free of charge. If you would like more information about the luncheon please contact Pastor Dale Klaehn at dklaehn@bethel-temple.com or call 440-842-9600.

Today's massive goal is to attempt to update our RUN THE RACE discipleship materials. There is a lot of good information that will be presented that is helpful to anyone who wants to improve their spiritual life. We're looking for a good turnout to our first 2009 RTR 101 class being held this Sunday evening at 6 pm. Our lesson's this week will highlight our personal commitment to Christ and His Church, you will also be led to make a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth and development. These classes are required for membership here at Bethel Temple. Hope too see as many of you as possible attend!
