Celebrate Recovery
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Romans 12:2
Ever wonder why “those” people are so happy? How
can they say they are recovering from something like
abuse, anger, relationship issues, & more and still have
happiness? Please join us and find out for yourself!
Every week there is a room full of wonderful people at
Celebrate Recovery who have an amazing outpouring of
joy.
We meet every Friday night.

1 Timothy 2: 1-2
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray
every way you know how, for everyone you
know. Pray especially for rulers and their
governments to rule well so we can be
quietly about our business of living simple, in
humble contemplation. This is the way our
Savior God wants us to live.
PASTO R’ S HE A RT
Wow! It looks like HARVEST TIME is here again at
the Bamberg Church of God. We’ve asked the question before, Do we REALLY want to grow? I’ve already taught you that in times of growth, there will be
growing pains. Things will change and we must remain flexible and adjust ourselves. Jealousy and
tension may arise in our Youth Department. Things
may be said that offend you. You may get mad with
the Pastor. You may disagree with the way things
are going. Harvest time will force us out of our comfort zone. You may feel left out or overlooked. As a
Pastor, I may be spending more time with our new
folks and I hope and pray that you are mature
enough not to squabble over my time. It will challenge you to accept new people. It will test us to see
if we have compassion, forgiveness, selflessness,
and a true servant’s heart. New people want to feel
loved! They do not want to be beaten over the head
with what they are doing wrong. Most people
“already” know what they are doing wrong. Let’s not
force feed them, let’s be patient with them. God is
longsuffering and patient, not willing that any should
perish. God has given me a new perspective of caring for people. I hope you will join me and serve in
this new season that has arrived. You may have to
overlook and ignore a lot of things in the next few
months. Think before you speak, pray before you
speak and always treat others as you would want to
be treated, that is the golden rule. We also know
with the HARVEST not everyone will stay but let us
focus on investing in them while they are here and
work with those who stick. Are we ready? Are we
prepared? Will you do your part? Will you serve?
God has been doing some amazing things in different areas of our church. To God be the Glory!
