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

2019 Faithful

 

(http://aplaceforyou NULL.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bookmark NULL.jpg)

Being found faithful is the heart of every follower of Christ. In 2019 Ebenezer is purposefully focusing on growing more faithful as we become mature disciples of Jesus Christ. Together, as we encourage and exhort one another, we hope to hear, “Well done faithful servants.” We hope that you will join us as we strive to be faithful with our whole lives (Matthew 25:21)! Free bookmarks are available in the church foyer to remind us throughout the year to Grow, Love, Tell, Give, Serve, and Live. The Sermon on January 6th (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2018/videos/185461934) focused on this theme and several more throughout the year will as well.

• GROW in devotion – [Worship] attendance in worship, personal prayer & Bible reading (February 3, 2019 (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2019/videos/186759306))
• LOVE others – [Community] Loving one another (April 7, 2019 (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2019/videos/189680822))
• TELL the lost – [Evangelism] Sharing our faith on a regular basis
• GIVE generously – [Stewardship] Committing to give on a regular basis
• SERVE with joy – [Kingdom] Volunteering to serve using our spiritual gifts
• LIVE in holiness – [Discipleship] Growing in godliness

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
~ Matthew 25:21

Free Course on the Book of Acts

Dallas Theological Seminary presents their new free online course on the Book of Acts (https://courses NULL.dts NULL.edu/register/acts/?utm_source=housefile&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=acts&utm_content=housefileemail&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8DGeUR1_oKEvCH3aN6oScs_NEBtfSCL_w-Ru6OkO0hAxgjabfaqGtawNw5jx34ISQBYbAkSYd6_GOCyD5NXK4WNkQz0w&_hsmi=71973279), taught in five video lectures by Dr. Mark Yarbrough. This is the perfect study to begin right after celebrating Jesus’s resurrection. Christ’s death and resurrection changed the course of history. In this online course, you will learn how this event ignited the men and women of the early church. The Book of Acts, written by Luke, is an extension of Luke’s Gospel narrative. It picks up right after Jesus’s resurrection and follows the history of the early church in the first century, describing their initial struggles as well as their successes for the kingdom of God. Acts is where we learn about Paul’s missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean, about the sharing of the gospel with Gentiles, and about some of the persecution the church faces as Christianity spreads.  Activate your free course now >> (https://courses NULL.dts NULL.edu/register/acts/?utm_source=housefile&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=acts&utm_content=housefileemail&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8DGeUR1_oKEvCH3aN6oScs_NEBtfSCL_w-Ru6OkO0hAxgjabfaqGtawNw5jx34ISQBYbAkSYd6_GOCyD5NXK4WNkQz0w&_hsmi=71973279)
