We are nearing the nineteenth month of the Our Legacy, God's Glory campaign. So far we have received nearly 69% of the three year pledged total. Not included in the campaign are a few "special commitment" opportunities:

On October 5, 2003, we celebrated our first anniversary of Our Legacy, God's Glory Capital Campaign. We recommitted ourselves to the campaign, and we received pledges of $678,000. This is an increase of $53,000 over last year.

September 9, 2003 - A lot has happened in the last three months as you can see from the pictures. All of this is even after having to wait 5 weeks for the ground to dry out. PRAISE TO THE LORD WHO PROVIDES! Soon after we began preparing the site, we found out that our dirt was "no good." It was suggested that we would have to remove over two feet deep of dirt from across the whole project with an unexpected price tag of $60,000. We stopped. We prayed. The rain lessened. The dirt dried out and passed inspection. We began again! One more obstacle overcome by the power of God!

Beginning May 26, 2003 the grading contractors and Murray Construction of Monroe moved onto our site. Land was cleared, ground was scraped, and the water and electrical service changed. We are well into preparing the ground for the foundation.

On May 18, 2003, the congregation gathered to worship God and hear a challenging message from Pastor Lee. In celebration following the last hymn, we moved outside and gave each family an opportunity to "get dirty" by turning over some dirt with a shovel.

Each family also dumped some dirt from their home as a sign of unity and support for the Our Legacy, God's Glory Project. Flowers in pots decorated and planted by the youth and children of Bethlehem were given to every family as a reminder of the growth we hope God will bring through this great work.

On March 30, 2003, the congregation heard a report from the Long Range Planning Committee about their work with the Adam's Group Architects and Murray Construction company. New elevations and a project budget were presented to the congregation.

Following the Presentation, the Congregation voted to move ahead with the "Our Legacy, God's Glory" Project

Members and Friends of Bethlehem Church have pledged over $625,900 toward the Our Legacy, God's Glory campaign. We have already received over 53.5% of that total.

We here at the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church are about to embark on a grand journey with God. The success of the "Our Legacy, God's Glory" capital stewardship campaign will make it possible for us to continue our advancement as a church growing to meet the needs of the people in response to God's leading. 

For our church to continue to be faithful to the ministry entrusted to us - knowing Christ and making Christ known - we must act now to accomplish the vision God has given to us. The challenge of our ministry is awesome, yet God is leading us forward. The "Our Legacy, God's Glory" capital stewardship campaign is crucial for us to move forward in the will of God.
