A Journey to the Potter’s
House
Saturday
June 20th, 6:30 p.m.
Bellevue is excited that
Michael Ferris’s A Journey to
the Potter's House is coming
back in June. For those of you
who saw this very moving presentation last fall, you
left that night thinking: "Wow, I wish I had invited
___________.” Well this is your opportunity!
People who saw the program that night will tell you
that this is a WONDERFUL opportunity to invite
friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to join you
here at Bellevue, Saturday night, June 20th at 6:30
p.m. Long time Christians, new believers, and
unsaved friends will all come away from this
presentation with a clearer understanding of God and
His relationship with us.
A Journey to the Potter’s House is a
mesmerizing, hands-on demonstration of how a
potter works with his clay to form it into a beautiful
and useful vessel. But it’s also an illuminating look
into God's relationship with us. Yes, under God's
strong hand, and despite our past, God works to make
us into a vessel of honor, useful for His purpose.
And if all of that isn’t enough to bring you,
your family, and friends out to see the program – we
will be holding an Ice Cream Social afterwards! So
mark your calendars and invite everyone you know
for a memorable and life changing evening!

William S. Davies, Jr.
You will find elsewhere in this newsletter an
article concerning a special movie night to be held at
Bellevue August 14th at 7:00 p.m. You are invited to
gather at Bellevue that night to view the newly
released documentary, Logic on Fire, on the life and
ministry of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. As we are
reminded in the article Lloyd-Jones, the famous
Welsh preacher, is “considered by many to be the
greatest preacher of the 20th century.”
One of the first books on preaching that I read
was by Dr. Lloyd Jones, Preaching and Preacher. I
believed God used this book at a very crucial time in
my life to help me discern if God was calling me into
the preaching ministry. I trust I have been faithful to
that calling and I only know that there are few things
in life that I enjoy doing as much as sharing God’s
Word with God’s people. I cannot thank you enough
for the high and holy privilege you allow me each
Sunday as I stand before you.
In July, 1959 Martyn Lloyd-Jones and his
wife Bethan were on vacation in Wales. They
attended a little chapel for a Sunday morning service
and Lloyd-Jones asked them, "Would you like me to
give a word this morning?" The people hesitated
because they knew he was on vacation and they didn't
want to presume on his energy, but his wife said, "Let
him, preaching is his life." It was a true statement. In
the preface to his book, Preaching and Preachers, he
said, "Preaching has been my life's work ... to me the
work of preaching is the highest and the greatest and
the most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be
called.
Many called Lloyd-Jones the last of the
Calvinistic Methodist (this is the roots of my home
church) preachers because he combined Calvin's love
for truth and sound reformed doctrine with the fire
and passion of the eighteenth-century Methodist
revival. For thirty years he preached from the pulpit
at Westminster Chapel in London. Usually that meant
three different sermons each weekend, Friday
evening, and Sunday morning and evening. At the
end of his career he remarked, "I can say quite
honestly that I would not cross the road to listen to
myself preaching." Once again I find myself in
agreement with this wonderful Welsh preacher.
I have been blessed during the past two years
to share the pulpit ministry of Bellevue Church with
Pastor JT. As I treasure it a high and holy calling to
preach I also treasure being fed from the Word of
God by my friend and colleague in ministry, JT.
I hope you will join us on August 16th for our
Bellevue Movie Night!
The 35th General Assembly Meeting of the
Evangelical Presbyterian Church will meet June 23 –
27, 2015 at First Presbyterian Church of Orlando, FL.
Serving as commissioners from Bellevue will be, RE
Roland Berthoud, RE Mary Ann Berthoud, RE Phil
Castor, and TE JT Holderman. Please pray for your
brothers and sisters as they travel to Florida and serve
in this important role in the life of our denomination.
HOTDOGS AND A
SOFTBALL GAME
JUNE 1ST, 6:00 p.m.
Monday evening, June 1st, the Bellevue team
will have a game at 6:30 p.m. and they will play the
team from St. John’s Church. However, you will
want to get to the ball field by 6:00 p.m. to enjoy
some hot dogs and fellowship prior to the game
beginning. You are asked to bring a dessert to share.
Maybe we could even arrange to get the team
members to sign autographs or have pictures taken
with you?! Save this date and we will see you at the
ballgame on Monday evening, June 1st at 6:00 p.m.!!
To help us plan on how many hot dogs there is a
signup sheet at the Welcome Center if you already
know you will be there!
STUDENT LOAN FUND
The Student Loan Committee
is once again receiving applications
for Student Loans for the 2015-2016
school year. Interest free loans are
available for all members of Bellevue
and their children. Application forms and guidelines are
available from the church office. Please have your
completed forms returned by June 30, 2015.

THE BOARD OF DEACONS’
INVITE YOU TO JOIN THE
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND
MILITARY PERSONNEL
ADOPTION
Sunday, June 28th marks the
beginning of the sign-up period
for our third annual "adoption"
program for college students and military personnel.
This year will be a little different in that we will not
be using the apple tree with students' names attached for
your selection. Instead, we are asking those of you who
feel led to adopt a student or member of the military to
sign up on the sheet in Friendship Hall. In the following
weeks, you will be matched with your adoptee and
receive a bookmark introducing him or her. Please
prayerfully consider this important step as a crucial part
of our ministry at Bellevue. We ask you to pray for
your new student, keep in touch with them throughout
the school year, send him/her cards, a small gift
perhaps, so they would feel loved and not forgotten by
the Bellevue family. We thank God for you adopting
parents, asking His blessings on you.
Dollar-A Day
Unreached People Groups - Church Planting
Project
We have an incredible opportunity to reach
people and bring them new life in Christ. Glad Tidings
India has had quite the impact through a three year
program of ministry in unreached people groups in
India. The three year strategy is as follows: year one—
Bible content literacy classes (450 adults), year two—
10 church planters trained and equipped (each planter
visits 1,000 homes with the Gospel), and year three is
both a Bible content literacy class and 1,000 children
attending Vacation Bible School. The number of people
who have come to know Jesus through this three year
cycle, on average, has been 1,600 decisions for Christ,
per unreached people group! The Lord is blessing this
three year program.
We are committing to join together as a church
to fund a three year program among the Nanded Tribal
unreached people group in Maharashtra, India. If 88 of
us gave $1 a day for one year, the entire three year
program would be funded. Given the average decisions
for Christ that come out of just giving a dollar a day, it
would be silly not to participate. Please join us this
coming year on mission as we invest in lives in India,
for those who have never heard the name of Jesus that
they might glorify and enjoy Him forever.
RESURRECTION BROOKLYN
Mission Trip
June 11-14, 2015
On June 11-14 a group will travel to the
Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of the Brooklyn
borough of New York. Our sister church, Resurrection
Brooklyn EPC, has been heavily invested in serving
those hit hard by Hurricane Sandy a few years ago. We
joined them last year with a group, working on
reclaiming and renovating homes devastated by
flooding. We went as the hands and feet of Christ to
show the homeowners and surrounding neighborhood
that our values were different. Because of the Gospel,
the free and gracious love of Christ for us, we went to
show the love of Christ to them. This year we take a
group to continue the task of reaching out to those in
Sheepshead Bay.
My plea to you who read this today: Pray for the
team. Pray that God would strengthen them to do the
work with joy and gladness. Pray that the families
would see the love of Christ for them in how the team
works. Pray that through the team, someone would
come to faith, that a lost person would be found. Please
pray. And if you haven’t signed up yet and would like
to go, please sign up at the Welcome Center or speak
with Pastor JT ([email protected]).
FACTORY NEWS
It is hard to believe that the school year has ended
as well as our meals. We have no plans on serving over
the summer. As usual it was an exciting time each
serving 60 to 75 youth each 4th Thursday of each month.
The youth are kind, considerate, full of laughter, and
never fail to say ”thank you .” They appreciate your
generosity in the meals you provide and your continued
prayers.
SAVE THE DATE: If you find yourself looking
for something to do on July 11, 2015, come and be a part
of The Factory’s annul auction. Starting at 9am many
local items along with gift certificates will be auctioned
off with the proceeds going to The Factory. If you are
not able to be there in the morning come for a delicious
lunch. Chicken bar-b-que, hamburgers, hot dogs, along
with homemade cream filled donuts all provided by the
Stoltzfus family. Hope you will be able to join in the
fun.
COMMUNION SERVED
Sunday, June 7, 2015 at both the 8:00 and 10:45 a.m.
services and in July on Sunday, July 5th at both the 8:00

Willie’s Redneck Rodeo! That will be a whole week
of fun!
If you have any questions or even if you might be

email her at [email protected].
Every Sunday morning
during
10:45 a.m. service
Children’s Church will continue through the summer
during the 10:45 a.m. worship service. Children’s
Church is for those children ages 4 through 2nd grade.
We have our own lessons, sing songs and learn how
to worship during Sunday mornings. Join us after the
Children’s Sermon and we will bring you back to the
sanctuary during the final hymn.
It’s that time of year again! Vacation Bible
School is quickly approaching! Hope everyone is
excited to have a rip roaring time with Jesus! VBS
will be held Sunday, July 19th - Thursday, July 23rd
from 6:30-8:30 each night. We will begin preregistration starting in June for our children. This
would help us out greatly with planning and logistics
the first night. Keep an eye out for pre-registration
forms!
We are in need of some adult and Jr High
helpers. Please call or email the church or write Elise
a note if you are available to help. If you can only
help a few days that is okay. Also, we’re once again
in need of cookies and juice boxes! Please bring them
to the kitchen and mark them for VBS.
This year we’re going to have a very exciting
Adult class! We’ll be learning about the 5 Solas of
the Protestant Reformation and eating fabulous
snacks at the same time in the company of our senior
high kids. That’s right, we’re trying out a combined
adult/teen class this year. Please come, bring friends,
and prepare for 5 nights of fun and fellowship with
other adults and the chance to get to know our older
teens.
VBS is Bellevue’s biggest outreach event and
we depend on you to help make it a success. Please
consider volunteering this year. Encourage friends of
all ages to come, but most of all, pray that God is
glorified and that we have the opportunity to touch
hearts for Christ in our community.
Children’s Library Day
Need some summer reading material? Did you know that the first Sunday of each month when
the children are at Sunday School they spend time in the Children’s Library looking for books to
read? Are you looking for some good books for them? Come to Sunday School on the first
Sunday and let them spend time in the library with Mrs. Perella looking for a new adventure or
story to read! And don’t forget, that is the time to return your books that you took out the month
before!

YOUTH MINISTRY
Kevin Sheahan, Director of Youth Ministries
Another school year is nearly in the books, and the
hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer are upon us.
Summertime can be a wonderful time to reflect and
re-energize, to make changes in our lives that are
difficult to initiate during the busy rhythm of the
school year. The Youth Ministry has a number of
ways for the youth to develop spiritually, as well as
have some fun, enjoy the outdoors, and create
memories. Here are the highlights:
SUMMER YOUTH
GROUP
June 28th, July 12th, August
2nd, August 23rd
During the summer, we will no
longer meet as usual. Instead, we
will meet four times, outside the
church building, for summer youth group which
includes a more casual atmosphere of games, snacks,
and a lesson.
The dates and locations are:
June 28 (Browns in Narvon)
July 12 (Thompsons in Strasburg),
August 2 (Houcks in Gap)
August 23 (Roelands in Paradise).
HIGH SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY
All those who will be in senior high this fall are
welcome to attend the Bible study on Wednesday
mornings. We will meet at various places in the area,
like Corner Coffee Shop, Shady Maple Café, and
Bird-in-Hand Bakery. As we study the gospel of
Mark at a relaxed pace, we will have time to enjoy
each other’s company over a cup of coffee and a
donut. Dark green bookmarks outside Kevin’s office
have more information.
HERSHEY PARK
August 10th
What better way to end the summer than with a day
of fun (and chocolate)? Bellevue has forty $40
tickets, open to any families that have children who
will be in 6th-12th grade this coming fall.
SUMMERFEST 2015
JUNE 18th TO 21st
SummerFest is a camping trip,
retreat, service project, and a blast,
all rolled into one. Four days and
three nights of speakers, swimming,
slip-n-slide, and singing around the
campfire. SummerFest is the perfect kick-off to the
summer, including plenty of fun, opportunities for
spiritual development, and an afternoon of a local
service project.
YOUTH
MISSION/SERVICE TRIP
July 1st to July 5th
This year, we are beginning a partnership with
Northeast Community Church (PCA) in Philadelphia,
which is located in an area of the city with a lot of
immigrant and 2nd-generation families. We have an
incredible ability to bless their church, as well as to
experience a very multi-cultural area that is little
more than an hour away. We will provide help on
various work projects, experience Chinese, Albanian,
Arab, and Latino cultures, and throw a 4th of July
party, American-style, to attract neighbors to the
church.
BACKPACKING TRIP
AUGUST 6th – 8th
Being surrounded by the beauty of
God’s creation while camping in
the wilderness is a wonderful way
to settle the soul. Carrying heavy
backpacks over tall mountains is a wonderful way to
bond a group together. We plan to cover 25 miles of
the Catskill Mountains, challenging body and mind,
and talking about the questions of our faith around
the campfire.
SIGNUP SHEETS
Signup sheets for the four special events are available
outside Kevin’s office, as well as 2015/2016
Emergency Treatment Consent Forms, which are
necessary as well.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL SUMMER
QUARTER
On June 7th the Summer Adult Sunday School
quarter kicks off. In the past we have combined into
one class and we will do that again this year. The
quarter will be made up of two different courses. We
will begin the quarter with three stand-alone classes
taught by different teachers. We have asked three
teachers to teach us on something that they are
currently passionate about.
The second half of the course will be a nine
week video series on “Gospel Shaped Outreach”
taught by Phil Castor, Kevin Sheahan, and JT
Holderman. It is a course on evangelism, what it is
and how to do it. We strongly urge that if you are a
member of Bellevue you attend this class since the
great commission, to “Go and make disciples,” is not
a suggestion, but a command from our Lord to any
who would be His disciples, who would be Christian.
Join us as we learn how to share the Gospel. Please
keep the teachers in prayer as they prepare to instruct
us.
Adult Sunday School offers foundational teaching in
Bible, theology, and Christian discernment, for the
purpose of building up the body of Christ, and equipping
one another for ministry all for the glory of God.
COMMUNITY GROUPS
The Community Groups of Bellevue continue to
be a tool for strengthening the faith of their members.
Please continue to pray for the 11 CGs and the nearly 130
people who are members of them. Our leaders met a
month ago to focus on the next phase of our CGs, living
on mission together. The four legs of CGs are 1)
relationships, 2) discipleship, 3) care for one another, and
4) mission. Now that our CGs have grown and
relationships have fostered, it is time for us to think
intentionally about how each group can share the good
news of salvation and the Gospel with their communities
and neighborhoods.
The great commission to “Go therefore and make
disciples” is not a suggestion, it is a command and the
backbone of all who would be called Jesus’ disciples. We
encouraged the leaders to talk with their groups about how
their group could band together and encourage one
another to share this good news. Please pray for the CGs
of Bellevue as they step out in faith with only the courage
Christ can give to share the Gospel. And if you have any
ideas how our groups might go about being missional,
please contact a CG leader. Pray for these groups and pray
that the Gospel would make a difference in their
neighborhoods and communities

2015 BELLEVUE FALL CONFERENCE
OCTOBER 24, 2015, 8:00-4:00 P.M.
The Fall Conference on Faith and Family:
How the Gospel Transforms Relationships in the
Home and the Church is quickly materializing before
our eyes. We have nine speakers lined up, two
keynote speakers, three speakers from Bellevue, and
four speakers from our immediate and extended area.
Two pastors were just added, Brandon Fisher, Lead
Pastor of Keystone Church, and Mark Potter, Pastor
of Chestnut Street Chapel here in Gap.
Every Christian has a family, whether it be a
nuclear family and relatives, or your brothers and
sisters in Christ, your church family. This conference
is aimed to help you grow in these family spheres. It
is aimed to be a day where we look at the good news
of the Gospel of Jesus and ask ourselves, “How does
what Jesus has done for me transform how I live in
the different family relationships of which I am a
part?” This is an integral question for all of us who
would bear the privilege of calling ourselves
Christian.
Registration is now open and we encourage
every member of Bellevue to sign up. If you register
before July 31st the cost is $20, the early bird rate.
After July 31st the cost becomes $30 per person. You
