Norm’s Notes

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who made Bethlehem Marketplace a hugely successful outreach bridge event again this year. Over 3,900 people came through during the two days. The majority, 70%, still tell us it is their first visit.

Text Message

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (niv)
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

I AM SECOND

See you Sunday! It’s great to be your pastor.
