“Wearing Many Hats, Serving w/ One Heart” Presentation! 🎓✝️
PHOTOS: A heartfelt THANK YOU to Pastor Dan Hardy of the New Bethlehem Wesleyan Methodist School for inviting Mayor of New Bethlehem, the Rev. Dr. Gordon V. Barrows to share with the amazing K–12 students what it means to be a Christian leader in our community!
We prayed together. We sang together. We read scripture together. We colored together. We flew together! 🙌✈️ Thanks to the “Noise Boys” Barbershop group for the amazing singing and entertainment! 👏🎉
Mayor Barrows’ message, rooted in John 3:8, was themed: “We wear many hats, but serve with one heart.” He reminded students of their divine purpose, encouraging them to embrace Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
He also shared his favorite verse, 1 Corinthians 9:22: “I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means, I might save some.” The students were encouraged to write down their goals, callings, and favorite scriptures on a special servants heart ❤️ coloring as a reminder to seek God’s purpose in their lives.
Barrows emphasized the importance of daily devotionals, constant prayer, biblical parables, and active listening — the building blocks of a servant-hearted Christian leader. ✝️
The students were incredibly engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and showed genuine excitement. Mayor Barrows even offered to be a reference, write recommendation letters, and provide ongoing support as they pursue God’s calling in education and career!
After the message, Barrows and Matthew Green (CEO of Green Digital Innovations & TechReady Professionals team member) brought the presentation to new heights by launching a drone to capture group photos of students praising God! 🛸📸 Hands were lifted in joy as students marveled at the beauty of aerial photography!
Pastor Hardy closed in prayer, wrapping up a spirit-filled, unforgettable day!
