Bethsalem Baptist Church

We had a great day of worshiping the Lord. Bro. Justin welcomed everyone and recognized the mothers in the congregation, some of whom gave their testimony.

Special music by the Celebration Choir was “It’s Not in Vain.” Bro. Justin’s message “To God’s holy People” was taken from Ephesians 6:1-3.

Have a blessed week, and tell someone about Jesus.
