BETHEL NEWS WATER BAPTISM A Water Baptism service is planned for Sunday November 20th in the 10:30AM service. If you desire to follow the Lord’s command and be baptized, please speak to Darwin & Angela Armstrong, one of the Pastors or contact the church office.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritans Purse led by Franklin Graham. The purpose is to provide Christmas gifts to children in 3rd world countries who otherwise would not receive any Chrsitmas presents. You can pick up a shoe box at the Connect desk and there is instruction as to how to fill the shoebox with toys and other practical items to bless a child this Christmas. A great project for a family. Christmas Shoe Boxes need to be returned to Bethel by Sunday November 13th in order to be delivered in time for Christmas.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONCERT The International (Sarnia-Port Huron) Symphony Orchestra will be performing a Christmas community concert on Saturday, December 3rd at Bethel Church. Tickets are available through the Church Office or through the website www.theiso.org or by calling 519-337-7775.
JR HIGH CONVENTION Pastor Tricia is taking a group of junior high students to our Western Ontario PAOC Junior High Convention on November 11th & 12th. Please pray for God’s blessings on this event.

Bethel Church A History of a Pentecostal Church in Sarnia Ontario
New Book by Caleb Howard Courtney Caleb Howard Courtney has provided a rich historical account of the beginnings of Pentecostalism in Sarnia, Ontario and its ongoing growth through the ministry of Bethel Pentecostal Church in Sarnia. This is a treasured keep-sake and it is thrilling to see that Bethel has not lost its original Spirit-initiated DNA.
- Pastor Tim Gibb
The history of Pentecostalism in Sarnia, Ontario has been all but forgotten. For many years, the narrative began in 1936, with Edna Riblet, a Free Methodist lady, who opened a Sunday School on the outskirts of the city. The account in this book celebrates this known story, but also rediscovers a previous story - one that stretches decades earlier to include a local Sarnia schoolteacher in 1907, along with Ellen and James Hebden, “the first family of Pentecost in Canada,” who visited Sarnia in August 1908. A History of Bethel Pentecostal Church in Sarnia, Ontario is not simply a history, but rather a collage of inspiring portraits of Pentecostal people who gave their lives to the mission of God in this Canadian city and around the world. They preached the Full Gospel with conviction, and out of their own dramatic experiences of Jesus as their Saviour, Spirit Baptizer, Healer, and Soon Coming King. Bethel Pentecostal Church continues to engage in Pentecostal preaching and missions in Sarnia and around the world today. Caleb Howard Courtney gives the story a historical context and modern update in this, the most detailed account of Bethel’s history to date.
