Our 3rd Annual Fall Festival will be this Saturday, October 31st starting at 4:00 pm. This year the festivities will begin at the Lake City Air Park. (446 SW Aviation Dr, Lake City, FL)

Carnival Games
We've set up all of our carnival games inside her airplane hangar, just in case it rains! It's going to be so much fun! We hope you can come.

Costume Contest
There will be a Biblical Character Costume Contest! If you're having troubles coming up with ideas for costumes, consider these: Angels, Animals (from the Ark), Job, Moses, Noah, Mary & Joseph, Adam & Eve, Wisemen, David and the Giant (great Father\Son idea), or one of the creatures from Revelation 4:8, now that'd be cool!

Hot Dogs & Homemade Chili
A traditional Fall Treat for Bethel! Hot Dogs & Homemade Chili will be served just before dark!

Hayride, Bonfire, & More
Once it gets dark, we will head over to the Williams' Farm for our traditional hayride and bonfire. There will be hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast!

You don't want to miss this fun-filled celebration!

Gettin' ready for some fun!

That's what we'll be doing this Wednesday!

Pastor Ken has asked us to help him set up for the Fall Festival that will be held on Saturday! He will take us to the Festival location Wednesday so we can help get the games and things set up for Saturday!

See you there! Be there at 6:00 sharp so you don't miss the bus!

This week is Family Night

This is just a reminder and an invite! Tomorrow is Family Night!

Bring your family and a dish for fun fellowship and good food!

7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall!

You can bring some underwear too if you like!!

Hope to see you all there!

Serving our church...

...that's what tonight is all about. Mrs. April will lead us in some worship music, we'll have prayer time and then we will tackle our list.

Pastor Ken and Mrs. Terry have entrusted us to help with the Homecoming clean-up list! This is a great time for us to show our appreciation to our church family for all that they allow us to do all year long.

See you there! Come with a thankful heart and ready to work!

Joy, Choices, Cupcakes and... Shoes?

We are so excited about our plans for tonight! Our worship session is going to be amazing! Note the red balloon...

K4C will meet with Mrs. Dawn and talk about making the right choices, hearing a story about a young boy convinced by his friends to shoplift.

CHAOS will get to "walk a mile in someone else's shoes"! Don't worry, not literally, but we will talk about shoes and be reminded to get to know one another and to understand one another without judgment.

And then come the cupcakes! I heard tell that Mrs. Lynn is making confetti cupcakes...now, this may just be a rumor, but that's what I heard!

Don't forget your Bibles and you Devo books. Bring a friend for extra points!

Underwear for Africa!

Got Underwear?

Something simple that we take for granted each day, yet thousands of men, women and children in Africa go without!

This is a problem with a simple solution - you can donate any new undergarments (socks, underwear, etc.) for the Basotho people and they will be delivered by a team of individuals from the Tallahassee area.

Departing for Africa on November 16, 2009, they will be going to the Katse Village, approximately 1.5 k WNW of the Katse Dam. Katse is a tiny village in the Lesotho Highlands. It is near and gives its name to the Katse Dam, a huge manmade reservoir built to sell water to neighboring South Africa. All four of the team members are paying for their own airfare, food and lodging.

They will spend their time there doing walking ministry, handing out Bibles, working with orphans and sharing in the Word. It will be amazing for the Basotho to see God doing a work where there is such a need but they feel so forgotten.

Additionally, the team will deliver seeds, eyeglasses, vitamins and hygiene items.

Please keep this team and mission in your prayers.

Bring your donations to Bethel beginning Sunday, October 11th. They will be delivered to Tallahassee on November 1st.

Updates, Info & Such

We are so excited that our new CHAOS\K4C format is really working well! Last night we witnessed kids singing worship to our Lord & Savior and it was just awesome! Mrs. April has been a great addition to our team and we are so grateful for her talents!

CHAOS has a new points system which offers great incentives for attendance, participation, and grades! Check it out!

Additionally, we have started a new Sunday Morning series for the Middle & High school age group - Crazy Love. This will be a 10 week series, based on the Crazy Love book by Francis Chan, offered on Sundays @ 11:00 am. This is a great resource for adults as well. You can read the first chapter of the book here. We started with an introduction last week and will continue on Sunday, October 11th. We will not hold these sessions on the first Sunday because we feel it is important for the Youth to experience worship and communion with our church body on this day.

Congrats and thank yous to all you parents for seeing the importance of raising Godly children. We appreciate your commitment to bringing your children on Sundays and Wednesdays!
