✨A Beautiful Christmas Eve Candlelight Service🕯️🎄

Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Service at New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church. We are grateful for a meaningful evening of worship and extend special thanks to Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows & Pastor Carol Brown for leading the service.

Pastor Gordon’s message “The B’s of Christmas: Making Room for Jesus,” based on Luke 2:1–7, reminded us of the true heart of Christmas. ❤️📖

Three takeaways to carry with you:
🕯️ Clear the clutter and make room for Jesus.
⏰ Put Jesus first, because first things shape everything else.
🤍 Share Christ’s peace and hope with others.

💒 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. 📸 Photos courtesy of Grace Marie Dimmett. 🎶🎹💻🎤

🎄✨Hearts at Work: Angel Tree 2025 Success!✨🎄

In the midst of the holiday season, we pause with grateful hearts to celebrate an incredible act of generosity and teamwork by the Redbank Valley School District and our amazing community. 💙🐾

This year, Redbank Valley School District proudly took on the entire 2025 Angel Tree Project from start to finish. From collecting student information 📋, communicating and distributing Angel Tree tags 🎁, gathering donated gifts 🎄, and ensuring those gifts reached families, it was a massive, district-wide and community-wide effort.

Through the 2025 Angel Tree Project, Christmas necessities and joy were provided to 195 students, supporting nearly 85 family households. ❤️ What a powerful reminder of what the Redbank Valley community can accomplish when we come together for our students and families!

🙏 Heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated their time, spread the word, contributed gifts, and supported this annual project. We are also deeply thankful to the families who trusted this program to help bring Christmas into their homes.

🌟 Special appreciation goes to:
🎄 The Redbank Valley Church Association
📖 The Redbank Valley Bible Club, whose students helped organize, collect, and distribute all 195 student gifts, turning our school into a joyful hub of activity
🎁 Redbank Valley staff, who stepped up to fill over 20 unclaimed Angel Tree tags
🏫 RVSD Administration, for their collaboration, leadership, and commitment to ensuring every student was served

This project represents a tremendous accomplishment for both the district and the Redbank Valley community. 💙 Thank you to all of our Bulldogs for showing generosity, compassion, and teamwork that truly created Christmas magic. ✨🎄

On behalf of Redbank Valley School District, we wish you all a safe, healthy, and joyful Christmas and holiday season. 🎅❤️

🙏❤️ Serving Our Community This Christmas ❤️🙏

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Brad Bowser (MPS Pro Services) and Matthew Green (Calico Systems) for their generosity and hands-on help supporting the St. Mary’s Redbank Church in donating $40,000+ of meat/freezers to families in need. 🚚❄️🥩

Over the next few weeks, donations will be shared with local churches, food pantries, and nonprofit organizations serving families across southern Clarion County & northern Armstrong County. This outreach is a powerful example of faith in action, with local businesses, churches, and volunteers coming together to care for their community. ✝️🙏

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). Grateful for servant hearts and a community sharing the love of Christ this Christmas season. 🌲❤️
