9:00 am – 5K Race
9:45 am – Kids Fun Run

Thanks to all who joined us!! We had 100 finishers for the 5K and a bunch of participants in the Kids Fun Run. Weather was 40 degrees at the start and mostly sunny with very high winds… however a snow squall blew through just as the last runners were finishing filling the air with snow and dropping the temp several degrees. Huge thanks to all of the volunteers and the Bethlehem Township Police Department who made this day possible!!

Congratulations to our overall winners:
John Donchez – 1st Male Finisher, 18:37
Melissa Rolwood – 1st Female Finisher, 21:53

Women’s Bible Study: I Am

(https://www NULL.christianbook NULL.com/that-fresh-encounter-for-deeper-faith/becky-harling/9780802415509/pd/2415509?event=ESRCG)Tuesdays
Jan 15 – April 23, 2019
9:30 – 11:45 am

Do you know Jesus as He really is? How we answer defines our lives both now and forever. This study of the “I Am” statements of Jesus will help women move from knowing about Him to knowing Him personally as we take a look at the significant questions Jesus asks in the Gospels, and the answers He himself provides. We’ll be using the book and video, “Who Do You Say That I Am? (https://www NULL.christianbook NULL.com/that-fresh-encounter-for-deeper-faith/becky-harling/9780802415509/pd/2415509?event=ESRCG)” by Becky Harling. Meets every-other Tuesday morning in room 12/13, led by Laura Sommons (womensministry null@null aplaceforyou NULL.org) (610-868-5501). Cost for the book is $14 payable at the first class. Childcare provided. Please sign up in the church foyer.

Women’s Bible Study: Think Differently

(https://www NULL.amazon NULL.com/Think-Differently-Bible-Nothing-Different/dp/1430032049/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544539105&sr=8-1&keywords=think+differently+james+macdonald)Mondays
January 14 – May 20, 2019
6:30 – 8:30 pm

Why do we lose our temper? Why do we tend to hurt those we care for most? How do families find themselves broken? The reason is often the way we think. Beyond behaviors and deeper than attitudes, thinking determines outcome more than anything else. The Book of Romans challenges us to be no longer conformed to the patterns of the world but rather to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This 10-session Bible study identifies strongholds, examines how they came to be, and offers believers a biblical path toward repentance and the renewing of their minds. We’ll be using the book and video, “Think Differently (https://www NULL.amazon NULL.com/Think-Differently-Bible-Nothing-Different/dp/1430032049/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544539105&sr=8-1&keywords=think+differently+james+macdonald),” by James MacDonald. Meets every-other Monday night in room 12/13, led by Vicki Cowley (nvcowley null@null aol NULL.com). Cost for the book is $13 payable at the first class. Please sign up in the church foyer.

Christmas Eve Services

(http://aplaceforyou NULL.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Christmas-Eve_slider NULL.jpg)

Monday, December 24, 2018
5pm & 7pm

After you light the tree and hang your stockings, join us at Ebenezer Bible Fellowship Church to make your Christmas celebration complete! Our Christmas Eve services will include acoustic Christmas music, a message, a children’s moment, and will end with candle lighting while we sing carols. Arrive early for the special prelude (begins about 20 minutes before each service). Nursery is available for ages 0-3 at the 5pm service. For those unable to attend in person, a live simulcast (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2018) will be available of the 5pm service. Tune in live or watch the recording later.

Christmas Eve Prelude

Calling all instrumentalists! Beginner through experts! You are invited to use your talent to serve God by playing during the prelude before each of the Christmas Eve services (5 & 7 pm)! Please sign up in the foyer. Questions can be directed to Heather Hunsberger (youth null@null aplaceforyou NULL.org): 610-868-5501.

Miracle Month

It is truly more blessed to give than receive! Every December we recognize what a miracle it was for God the Father to give us His Son. As we reflect on this, our challenge at Ebenezer is to give a gift above our normal giving that is designated for our missionaries. This year we would like to bless each of our missionaries with a monetary Christmas gift of at least $500 as a way to encourage them and thank them for their tireless work in spreading the Gospel. Therefore, our goal is to collect $25,000 during December. Special envelopes are available in the pews for this offering, or you can give online.
