New Bible Study: Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam This time of year always requires unique navigating skills. This prompted author and pastor, James Moore, to ask a question. Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam...which will you choose this year? Rev. Moore feels that we do not have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of confusion. God breaks into the confusion and is made known in Jesus Christ. Christmas and confusion - werent they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. This study will help us break into our confusion and bring Christmas into our lives, because Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam. Thursdays 10 am and 7 pm in Fellowship Hall 3 sessions: December 5th, 12th and 19th Cost: Free ($9 if you want the book; not required but encouraged) Registration forms are available in the Narthex, complete & put it in the offering plate or call the office at 629-5688 or register on the church website.
