Greeting in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time
of calamity. (Proverbs 24:16)
Many people I know make New Year's Resolutions. They vow to exercise more, eat right,
lose weight, quit that bad habit, get out of debt, to put God first, stay pure, and so on. But
what do you do if you fail and falter in your New Year's Resolution and it is only January
31st? What then?
I know what lots of people do. They beat themselves up with guilt and shame. They tell
themselves what a loser they are. They heap condemnation on their heads and walk around in
defeat mode. That is not the thing God wants us to do when we fail.
Proverbs 24:16 is a great verse to help you and me when we falter in our well-intentioned
resolutions or commitments to God. Look at it again - For a righteous man falls seven times,
and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
Notice that God says "a righteous man falls seven times." Even the righteous person, even
the one who desires to do right and please God; falls, and fails, and blows it - not once or
twice, but seven times (over and over and over again).
Now the devil will tell you when you fall, "Give up, you bum! Throw in the towel and
quit!! You will never walk in victory over this anger, this worry, this bitterness, this lust, this
greed, this addiction, this whatever. You are a loser and a failure and a major disappointment
to God." Have you ever heard those words play in your head? Well, the good news is this:
"The devil is a liar and the father of lies."
When we fall, God never says, "Give up," God says, "GET UP! RISE AGAIN! Confess
that sin. Get it out of your heart and under My blood. Take my hand and let's walk togeth-
er. Keep looking to me, and we WILL slay this giant in your life."
My friends, you and I do not have the power to change our hearts, but God does. God can
change your sinful desires. God can give you a heart that beats for Him and His righteous-
ness. God can clean you up and set you on a path of joy and peace and victory. The little po-
em says, "I can't. He never said I could. He will. He always said He would."
If you have fallen, will you quit beating yourself up and start looking up? Will you open
your eyes and see a Savior who loves you, who has a nail-scarred hand stretched out to you,
who says to you, "Will you take my hand and walk with me?" What is your answer to Him?
As we roll into February we know that the weather can be uncertain. Yet, we make our
plans knowing they might change. Other than our normally scheduled activities for the
month, we have a few special events and meetings to mark on your calendar. On Tuesday,
February 5 the Staff Parish Committee will meet to do staff evaluations, and then on Monday,
February 18 we will meet briefly with each staff member to discuss their evaluation and re-
ceive their comments. We have a fun event planned for Saturday, February 16 when the Unit-
ed Methodist Men have planned our annual “Sweetheart Banquet.”
As always I want to remind you to continue to pray for those on our collective prayer list,
and also remember to pray for the pastor and staff of your church.
Love in Christ, Pastor Dale

CUB SCOUT SUNDAY SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10
We will have as our special guests our own Mt Bethel Cub Scout Pack 275 during our 10:00am Worship Service. Several young scouts with their families and friends in
attendance will receive their
“God & Country Awards”. Following the service as our special guest in the fellowship hall, there will be a
Hotdog Luncheon for everyone honoring the scouts and their commitments.
MT BETHEL UMC
CONFIRMATION
CLASS
SUNDAY, MAR 3 2:00PM
Any youth interested in attending
Confirmation Class please let Pastor
Dale know by Sunday, February 17. The
class will begin on Sunday, March 3 at
2:00PM and will run for about 6 weeks.
The first class will be for students, par-
ents and mentors from 2-2:30pm and
then the students from 2:30-4:00pm (and
each following Sunday). The class will
study about our faith in God, the
history of the church, Christian
discipleship and topics about
Christian life.
God’s Kids Club I really like snow; it is so beautiful falling from the sky.
It looks like a big white fluffy blanket when it accumu-
lates on the ground. It is just so quiet and peaceful. Then
here come the snowplows and vehicles.
The God Kid's Club (GKC) was scheduled to meet Janu-
ary 13th, but had to reschedule because of icy conditions
to January 20th. We started with tearing apart clothespins
while our hot dogs cooked. We tore clothespins apart to
reconstruct the pieces into a snowflake. Yes, a beautiful
white snowflake. After we finished one side of the snow-
flakes, we enjoyed hot dogs, chips, juice and brownies.
After lunch we finished the snowflakes and then talked
about how snowflakes are formed. We learned that no
two snowflakes are alike just like people - no two persons
are alike. God made each person different and each snow-
flake different.
I suggested to the kids to hang up their snowflakes at
home in hopes that it will snow again this winter. Let it
snow, let it snow, let it snow!
THANKS to Megan Spainhour for helping with the
January GKC meeting.
The next GKC will be Sunday, February 10th right after
worship in the parlor. I hope to see all of God's Kids there
and bring a friend or two.
Nancy Johnson, Children's Coordinator

UMYF
The UMYF enjoyed a fun trip to
Gatlinburg, TN for Xtreme Winter.
Talk about an awesome weekend of worship with over
3,000 brothers and sisters in Christ. I think the kids had a
good time. They enjoyed our late night trip to The Waffle
House and a mid-night dip in the pool too.
Our devotions during the month of January were fo-
cused around friendships and giving our best self to oth-
ers. We had a lot of great discussion and enjoyed some
tasty snacks as well.
Here’s what’s coming up in February
Feb. 3rd: We will feed the homeless after church and
then enjoy bowling and lunch.
Feb. 10, 17, 24 regular meeting and devotions

A Valentine Prayer I said a Valentine prayer for you
and asked the Lord above to fill your heart and bless your soul
With the precious gift of love.
I asked Him for sincere love The kind that's meant to stay
Just like the generous love You give to those you touch each day.
I prayed for love from family
And from every cherished friend Then I asked the Lord to give you
His love that knows no end.
UMW NEWS The United Methodist
Women met in the parlor of the church on January 14, 2019 at 6:30 with 21 members present. Judy Sipe, President called the meeting to order. She open the meeting with prayer from the prayer cal-endar and also for requests. Barbara Hefner had the devotions “Be Kind When Possible and Be Nicer in 2019”. Our program, presented by Nancy Johnson was Prayer and Self Denial. Building a Thriving genera-tion of children and youth worldwide. She used the 1988 and 2019 program book. A Call to Prayer and Self-Denial is an opportunity for women to reflect on the gospel of Christ and make an offering that helps sustain ministry around the country and the world. Every year, United Methodist Women mem-bers participate. In response to God’s love and grace, offerings collected support worthy initiatives that relate to each year’s mission focus. The mission focus for 2019 is "Building a Thriv-ing Generation of Children and Youth Worldwide," which provides an opportunity for United Methodist Women members to learn more about the difficult circumstances children and youth face at home and abroad. All offerings received from A Call to Prayer and Self-Denial observance this year will go to programs that promote well-being and equal opportunities for children and youth in need. For 150 years, United Methodist Women members and their foremothers have advocated for children and youth around the world. Holly Campbell asked everyone to sign up for the training for the Thrift store. Some new projects were discussed for fund raisers. One was a new cookbook. A new directory for the UMW is planned. UMW Sunday was planned. Roberta Walker, Mission Coordinator, Mission Education and Interpretation will be the speaker. Jennifer our resident from J Iverson Riddle Developmental Cen-ter passed away last month. We have requested a new resident. Pat Watson and Elvena Whitener provid re-freshments.
