APRIL 2014To  you,  our  special  guests,  we're  so  glad  you're  here  today!

 Just  as  the  world  has  transitioned  from  45's  to  8-­‐tracks,  to  Cassette  tapes,  CD's  and  now  mp3's,  here  at  El  Bethel  we  are  living  out  the  theme,  

"iChurch:  Answering  the  Call",  which  is  our  contemporary  response  to  the  

Eternal  Voice  and  Call  of  God.  The  method  may  be  different,  

but  the  message  remains  the  same.

Since  you're  here,  that  means  you  responded  to  the  

Voice  of  God;  you  answered  the  call!  You  are  at  the  right  place  and  at  the  right  time!  It  is  our  prayer  that  you  hear  the  Voice  of  God  speak  to  you  during  this  worship  experience.  

We  ask  that  you  do  two  things:  First,  please  complete  the  blue  Visitor  

Information  card  located  in  the  back  of  the  pew  in  front  of  you.  You  may  place  it  in  the  offering  basket,  or  turn  it  in  at  the  Welcome  Center  

located  in  the  corridor  after  service.  Secondly,  we  invite  you  to  relax  and  enjoy  our  

service.Let's  enjoy  God  today!  

Blessings  and  peace  upon  you!

It  is  my  sincere  prayer  that  your  day,  week,  month  and  yes,  even  your  life  is  made  better  

because  you  worshipped  with  us.  Thanks  again  for  coming  and  please  come  again!

                                       Love,  Pastor  Glass  -­‐  Aka  PG

(Dicipleship)Here at El Bethel we are committed to living life on purpose-

God’s Purpose.

Our theme for Twenty 14 is iChurch “Answering the Call”

Our Present Day Response to the Eternal Voice of GodThus we Declare and Decree:

We are Answering the Call to Believe, to Belong, and to Become!

Because iChurch, iGrow and iBecome more like my Savior and God’s Son.

The Call of God is not just to membership, but also to Discipleship. To become more and more like Jesus.

More like Him in our Attitudes; As we let this mind be in us that was in Christ Jesus.

More like Him in our Actions;As we seek to Do whatever the Father’s Will is for our current lives!

Even if it leads to a lonely hill, a dark day, or a borrowed grave!Our Savior showed us what looks like defeat

can bring our greatest victory.

When we read His Word, Talk to Him regularly in Prayer, Live what we Learn from our successes and mistakes,

The Spirit of God within conforms us more into the image of the Son of God and iBecome what God intends for me to be.

I’m not there yet, but I am on my way!

In Twenty 14 I amAnswering God’s Call,

2 Stand 4 Him!2 Speak 4 Him!2 Serve 4 Him!2 Share Him!

Because iGrow and I am Becoming like Him… iChurch!

2 Tim. 3:14-17 NIV

LDR: But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,

CON: And how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

LDR: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

CON: So that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Under the divine guidance of the

Lord, Rev. E. M. Moore began

holding Mission Meetings in his

home in the fall of 1939. Our first

glorious service was on Sunday,

January 14, 1940.  Soon thereafter,

El Bethel relocated to a Church

Philadelphia – on Detroit’s north

end.    In August 1973, the Lord

guided Pastor Moore and the

Official Board to our former

location, 15340 Puritan.    In 1983,

Rev. Latimer was elected Pastor

after the Lord called Pastor Moore

home. Carrying out the Lord’s

plans, Pastor Latimer led the

c o n g r e g a t i o n u n t i l S u n d a y ,

December 10, 1989.

Rev. Sherman Johnson was named

Continuing under the guidance of

the Holy Spirit and the leadership

of Pastor Glass, and following a

vision given to him during the

study of “The Purpose Driven

Life”, God led us to our current

property. The purchase was final

on Friday, March 5, 2004, our

first official worship service was

held on Palm Sunday, April 4,

2004. With 3.25 acres of land, 26

meeting rooms, 13 restrooms, and

with an even larger parking lot,

this divinely designated spot

allows us more opportunities to

meet the needs of the day.
