Bethel Church (Some Christmas Videos-2017)
When I was at Moody Grad School Dr. Harold Westing visited and taught. He had written a book called “Create and Celebrate Your Church’s Uniqueness.” God lead Lois and I to serve the Bethel Church in Jackson, Michigan. I have never had a more profound sense of God’s direction… and quickly we discovered the wonderful uniqueness of Bethel Church. You can see some of that in some of the videos from our first Christmas here…

Christmas Trip
-Carols on the radio and the family sings along
-Laughter
-MacDonald’s coffee steaming in the cup holder
-Colored lights in the growing darkness
-Soft talking between your parents in the front seat
-They tell you it’s much longer than it probably is
-You fall asleep to the sound of weather and carols on the crackling AM radio
-You wake up drowsy when the car comes to a stop in a small town
-Lights in the countryside whizzing past the window
-Frost on the window and snow pushed back
-Cars passing with packages pushed up into their back window
-A red Jeep Cherokee with a festive wreath wired to the grill
-A candle in every window
-A driveway full of cars from different states
-Red bow on a golden retriever waiting by the mailbox
-A Christmas tree made of last years Christmas cards
-The smell of turkey roasting in the oven
