Next week is Thanksgiving and we have a lot to be thankful for:
- We have hosted many successful events to reach out to our community, Dadfest, Trunk or Treat, Sports Camp, and the Holiday Bazaar to name a few. We are thankful for all those who participated and helped with each outreach
- We have a thriving preschool. We have a great director and dedicated teachers who love the children they serve.
- We have beautiful new restrooms and a new coffee area. These will enhance our ability to be a welcoming spot for our guests and Beulah Family, too.
- We have had Pastor Norm with us to lead us through our interim period. Thank you, Pastor Norm and Linda, for being a part of BMC and guiding us through this in-between time.
- We have a new pastor and his family, Pastor Kelley, Kelly, Jovie, Elsie, and Lillie, moving to Goshen this weekend. We are so thankful they are coming and are looking forward to great days together.
- Eleven people were just baptized. We are thankful for their professions of faith.
We have been blessed. We are thankful to those who helped and made these things possible, but we are most thankful to our good, good Father. God has been good and we give Him thanks.

Thank you P astor Norm for your service to Beulah Missionary! See Pastor Kelley's note about Pastor Norm in the bulletin. Pastor Norm plans to relinquish his role at the end of 2022. Beulah wants to send Pastor Norm and Linda off with the BIGGEST of thankyous. On December 18, after church, we plan to celebrate at the coffee bar that Pastor Norm put so much work into. On that day we plan to celebrate with coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, and cupcakes. We'd also like you to shower Pastor Norm and Linda with notes of encouragement, thank you cards, and gift cards. We want to do everything we can to honor Pastor Norm's and Linda's service to our beautiful church family.

Casting Vision for 2023
Our church's annual meeting will be Wednesday night, December 7. This is more than just a time for members to vote and approve the budget, although that will be part of it. We will be hearing from our ministry staff about their vision and dreams for the future. Everyone is invited to the dinner at 5:30 PM. Our meeting will begin at 6:15 PM. A booklet of reports will be available soon for you to peruse before the meeting.

 This Sunday, November 20, Jim Bennett and our decorating crew need your help. They need about 30-45 minutes of your time to distribute the decor around the church. He and his crew will do the decorating, he just needs people to move items (trees and tote boxes) from the decor room to other places around the building. Thanks for your help!

Winter is Here
