CHURCH & RELIGION
💕 Morning Worship – February 1 💕
Join us this morning as we gather for worship and hear a powerful message from Rev. DrGordon Barrowsws titled
“God’s Valentine: Lessons from Ruth and Boaz.”
Through the story of Ruth and Boaz, we’re reminded of God’s faithful love, steadfast promises, and the hope that carries us through every season. ❤️ Rooted in Ruth 1:16–17; Ruth 2:12; and Romans 8:38–39, today’s message points us to a love that never lets go.
Whether you’re joining us in person or tuning in online, you are welcome here. Invite a friend, share the stream, and come expecting encouragement and grace.
⛪ Worship with us live — we’d love to see you!

⚓🙏 Anchored in God’s Promise 🙏⚓
Thanks to everyone who joined us for worship today as Pastor John Phillips shared the powerful message, “The Anchor of Baptism,” from Matthew 3:13–17. 💙💧 We are grateful for a meaningful time of worship, reflection, and renewal as we remembered that we are God’s beloved, firmly anchored in His grace. ✝️✨
Three Practical Takeaways:
• 💧 Remember your baptism, you are claimed and named by God.
• ⚓ Stay anchored in God’s promises when life feels uncertain.
• 🚶♂️ Live boldly as God’s beloved, carrying His love into the world.
💒 Ministry Thank Yous:
Grateful appreciation to our worship team, organist Dave Green, pianist Debbie Green, AV tech Matthew Green, and choir director Bill Young for sharing their gifts in worship, with a special thank you to the New Bethlehem Community Choir for blessing us with beautiful and uplifting special music 🎶🎹💻🎤
