For more info or to register, go to betheloDouston.com/women. PROMOTION SUNDAY Today Your child(ren) move up to the next class this morning. Please fill out the family registration cards in the Fellowship Hall before checking in. Celebrating a Legacy of Ministry How appropriate it is that we express appreciation and gratitude to God for the faithful servants He uses to bless our lives! John & Allene Brickner are two such servants. In their recent move to Corpus Christi, no doubt many of you sent them cards or expressions of best wishes and thanks. But as a church family we want to do something special. So this morning we are offering the opportunity for you (as many as we are able) to express to John and Allene your thanks and praise to God for what they've meant to your life. We'll be recording brief video testimonies THIS MORNING from 10 am 12:30 pm in the Library (2nd floor of the CE building) that will be edited into a tribute DVD that we will send to them . To prepare we suggest you write out your thoughts (plan for no more than 23 minutes). We hope many of you will take advantage of this opportunity to express gratitude to God for the Brickners' Gospel investment in time and eternity. Michael Boys senior pastor CONGREGATIONAL DINNER Sunday, Sept 18, 5:3o pm As we begin a new ministry year, we hope you’ll join us for fellowship and food at our Congregational Dinner on September 18.
