David Potter to speak at Healing Service
The Bethlehem Recovery Ministry is sponsoring a healing service in the Sanctuary at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, May 13, 2008. David Potter will bring the message. David, formerly with Hazelden, has extensive experience in service to individuals in recovery, their families and loved ones. An ordained Lutheran Minister, his message last year was moving and memorable.
This service is an opportunity to gather quietly in the presence of Christ and to bring our concerns to the Lord in prayer. All are welcome. Refreshments follow the service.
