Okay class...I think the time is coming for us to expand both our quarters, (the new building) and our hearts, (to the new people who may come when they see the sign welcoming our new pastor) later this summer. I have already had a friend in my neighborhood here in Clayton asking when the new building is opening and when the new pastor is coming. She practically invited herself to come check us out before I even had the chance!

God has big plans for Bethlehem Church. I feel it more strongly than I ever have before. He has expectations of us that we might think are too grand, too much, or too soon...but I think He wants us to "step out of the boat", as Pastor Fox said last weekend. I believe God wants us to trust Him to make good things happen here at Bethlehem through Him. We may not think that we are worthy of such plans, but God knows that we are, and He expects us to listen to Him calling us to TEACH, PREACH and REACH His children in the greater Knightdale community! I say, "bring it on!"
