We are inviting all who can, to come at 2:30 to watch Irreplaceable. We will be using this documentary to inform our prayer time. If you cannot join us at 2:30 then feel free to come at 4pm. MOVIE: Irreplaceable - What is family and does it still matter in today’s society? The documentary Irreplaceable seeks to address these fundamental questions. Its host Tim Sisarich travels the world to explore what “family” really means and why it is so important to humanity. NEW SERIES - NEHEMIAH: BUILDING WALLS, RESTORING LIVES | What do you do with stuff that breaks? If it is valuable you probably fix it. If it is a throwaway you chuck it and buy another one. The good news is people fit into the valuable category not the chuck it category. God is in the fixing business and you and I are his focus. Brick by brick, he patiently rebuilds our lives as we yield to His control. Starting on February 8th we are staring a nine weeks series in Nehemiah focusing in on the restorative heart of God. You can prepare for this series by reading through this great book. YOUTH MINISTRY WORKSHOP | Join us for a FREE Youth Workshop: NEWCOMERS’ LUNCH | Are you new to Bethel?
