Enjoyed reading the history. My dad's cousin Jean Ganss did the original research. My brothers and I are probably in the picture of the Sunday School classes included. Our family was active in the church until my dad's job required a move out of the area in 1962.

my friend came to the church to do some business, along with several other churches in the area and she commented to me on how dificult this job was. She was stating that people were rude, that she couldnt get in the doors. Then she told me how she came to Bethal and when she rang the bell someone actually greeted her, and when she came in that the secretary was VERY nice and accomidating! That was when I told her that was my church and so I knew it was an honest statement. GREAT JOB BECKY! Nothing like living with the spirit. We are the "Welcome Place" and your actions proved it!

Good afternoon pastor Bell. My sister's husband passed away recently and you gave the sermon for him at Walker Funeral Home on Glendale on Tuesday August 12th. His name was Tom Harlow. Your sermon was reassuring to the friends and family. Then on August 23rd Sat. we went to the wedding of friend's of ours, their names are Ellie and Linwood. To our surprise the Pastor was non other than Pastor Bell. It's a small world. We liked the way the service went including the Pastor of another church. God Bless You,
Steve and Diane Diefenbach

You have a great site here. It is always great to see others reaching out to people on the WWW and in local areas with the message of Salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

"To he whom hath, more shall be given" and I see in your future the LORD greatly using you and your family, and Church members. HE has intrusted us to perform "by HIS spirit" the ministry of reconcilation, and by us helping others, and praying for the lost, HE gives us unspeakable joy and peace which "no man can take from us". By putting HIM first in all things, HE honors us by giving us every answer to every question or problem! We, by doing the Fathers will/word, take part in the first resurrection! The "raising of the dead" and the blind being made to see, Christ was describing the spiritual awakening, that is fast taking hold, on all whom seek "the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness" the deaf being made to "hear" He was talking about how HE is teaching men to "hear" what the spirit of the living God is saying to the Churches. "Pick up My cross and follow me" for through HIS spirit, HE is "raising the spiritually dead" and prophecy is being fulfilled everyday! For he says, "ye think that you have chosen me, but it is I whom have chosen YOU" Bless you and yours, as HE increases knowledge and wisdom in HIS ways (His Fathers Word) the full glory of His righteousness shall be seen, by those whom follow His spirit! For revelations says "blessed and holy, is he who taketh part in the first resurrection" This site will grow greatly, and you and yours shall be greatly blessed! In Christ, ManofGod

I am moving into the area of Bethel and am looking for a new Lutheran Church. I was a member at First English which you know closed it doors last April. I am raising three of my grandchildren and want to get them involved in the life of the church, since it has always been such a big part of my life. It has been such a joy and comfort to me over the years. My faith means a lot to me and active worship and church involvement has always been a part of that faith. God Bless you through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by the power of his Holy Spirit. Amen
