--THE PASTOR’S PEN--
“After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given
him rest from all his enemies around him, he said to Nathan the
prophet, “Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of
God remains in a tent.” Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you
have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the
Lord is with you.” 2 Samuel 7:1-3
Wow! Another year has arrived and another year has been
completed. They sure seem to be coming and going faster. It seemed
like a just few weeks ago that we were looking at 2012 and making
resolutions, opening ourselves to try new things, and dreaming new
dreams. And now we are getting ready to do it all again. Where does
it all fly to?
At the beginning of each New Year I like to take some time and
evaluate where life is and where I am going. I look back to see how
the previous year had been and how I did on the goals I set. I
always hope that my life was better for the things I accomplished
and did. I look to see if I was able to have an impact in our
world. And, most of all, I hope to see that I have been faithful to
all God has called me to. Then I try to make the goals and
resolutions for the upcoming year that will continue to follow
where the Lord is leading me. Some of them are ones that many of us
look at: losing a few pounds, eating better, getting in shape more,
getting rid of the bad things in our lives, spending more time with
the Lord, etc. However, I began to see that many of my resolutions
were about me, what I wanted to have or get or do. That seemed
pretty self-centered. Maybe, instead of looking at what I want to
get in the New Year, I should look at what I can give.
As we look ahead to 2013 let’s do what king David did. As he
experience God’s blessings in his life and found some times of
peace and contentment, He began to seek where God needed to be in
the center of his life, his family and his kingdom. As David looked
back and saw all the good things he had from God’s hand, he wanted
to make sure that the Lord would be at the very heart of all he was
and did. His dream was to build a temple for God that would do just
that. There the Ark of the Covenant would remain in a permanent
place in the center of His people. David could not live in the
wonders of God’s blessings while His ark remained in a simple tent.
He wanted all the people to make God’s presence the center of their
hearts and lives. He then went to give and do all he could to make
that dream a reality.
We too can look back and see that the Lord has been very good to
us and has blest us with many special things and opportunities. So
then, what will we dream and do to make Him the center of our
lives, our families and our church? How are we also looking to make
Him our #1 priority? What are we searching to do and give in order
to build His kingdom?
-
Let’s not be settled with what we have received and have done,
but let us spur one another on to do even greater things for our
Lord and show the entire world that Christ reigns. Let’s dream His
dreams, and then let’s do them with all our hearts. That will make
the New Year something special. God Bless.

---A Peek In The Past---
Missions Through
The Years
Flood buckets, medical kits, school kits, health kits, hats
& mittens, sweatshirts, quilts, prayer shawls, Thanksgiving
baskets, food gifts, shoes, boots, baby items!!! Bethel Church
provided all of these and more through the years…. As Jesus taught,
DO UNTO OTHERS….
An early Mission Trip to Jamaica had our team teaching children
at Vacation Bible School ….. Glenda Probert Dibert participated.
Mission projects in 1985 included purchasing a TRAG for $2,000
which was shipped overseas. Bethel also sent funds to Dulac, LA
where indians were flooded. 1992 – The first mission trip after Jon
Gulnac came to Bethel involved our youth. A group of 27 young
people went to Kentucky. The girls painted a kitchen; the boys
added a 12 x 12 room to a SHACK! Butch and Janet Hoffman were the
youth leaders and Pastor Jon, Jill, Glenda Dibert and Delores
Crislip Miller assisted on the trip.
1993 – We hosted a summer intern to work with the youth –
Kayleen Hilyer. She went to Russia on a mission trip while
here.
October, 1994 – The trip was to Southwest Indian School in
Arizona, Phoenix area. Pastor Jon, Don Weaver, Kevin and Alan
Chesnutwood. That year our Financial Support to various missions by
Sunday School classes, groups and individuals totaled
$21,623.00!
A team headed to Antiqua June 13-20, 1996 to repair a home of an
unchurched family that had hurricane damage, thus showing God’s
love. Participants: Pastor Jon, Jill, Rebekah, Dan, Sarah, and Nate
Gulnac, Pam and Amber Partsch, Lynn Thomas, Janet and Roger
Hoffman. Also Dan Schotnicki, Lisa Flanagan, Beth Stains, Jessie
Burkey, Christine Felix, Nicole Howard, Stephanie Morelas – our
Summer Intern.
October, 1997 – Church member Christa Stutzman joined a medical
team that served in Haiti. May, 1998 found 14 Bethel volunteers at
Camp Allegheny helping to spruce up the camp for the coming
year.

Jamaica – 1999 – The job was helping to put a second floor on a
church up in the mountains. They carried materials up ladders,
mixed cement by hand and bucketed it to poor the floor. Pastor Jon,
Jill Gulnac, Adam Bruscha, Bill Connor, Janet Hoffman, Bill Smith,
Jim Chesnutwood and Rebekah Gulnac.
Back to Bamboo Jamaica – July 7-13, 2000. Pastor Jon, Jill, Adam
Bruscha, Bill Connor, Janet Hoffman and Bill Smith. This group
worked on a stairway to the church. It took quite a while and
effort to appease the inspector! He kept coming back and making
changes. They also worked with kids in a field nearby where they
played whiffle ball! Janet said kids came out of the woodwork to
play! ---Carole Wolfhope
--January 1968--------
Postage increased to $.10 from $ .06. Rev. John Sass had his
salary set at $6,000 plus $900 travel for the year. We were on a
charge with Elton, therefore, we were responsible for half that
amount. Sunday, January 21 – Telephone toll charge was removed
beginning today when calling a Johnstown number. Sunday, January 28
– At the regular Council meeting a parsonage building committee was
appointed. The house wasn’t completed until 1973. Wednesday,
January 31 – Prayer meeting was studying Mark. Attendance was
usually 14. Leaders: Rev. John Sass, Mildred Sass, Paul and Ivy
Chesnutwood. The pastor had to be at Elton Church part of the time,
therefore, lay leadership was essential.

Bill Connor, Assistant Director of Retail Dining, Chartwells was
featured in the Shippensburg University Magazine. Chartwells is the
firm that provides food service to students and the university. He
was part of new program started in the 2011-12 academic year that
uses Android tablets that give students the ability to complete a
variety of tasks. Students can purchase a local movie ticket, check
out dining hall menus, pay their cell phone bill and check out
local Shippensburg Twitter feeds. The best part is they can order
food from a variety of places and get a discount price. Bill is
also trying to improve the dining experience with a better menu.

A New Year Poem Another fresh new year is here…
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest…
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
