Pastor, has moved its worthip location to 1615 N.E. Kll- lingsworth (on the corner of 16th and Killingaworth). The new wor ship facility is the second step toward the move to a permanent fa cility. New Church Changes Worship Location “ Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” (Psalms 103:1,2) This was the cry of the Bible writer, David, as he came to a realization o f the mercy and goodness o f God. This is also the cry o f the members and friends of the New Jerusalem Baptist Church as they realize how good God has been to them. The church has been in operation for two and a half months, and, according to Pastor LeeArthur Madison, it is showing tremendous potential for mission and ministry. “ The Spirit o f God has truly been with us,” said Madi son, “ for we could not have come this far without H im .” “ There has been much opposition, but, through the power of God, we overcame it.” “ There has also been much love and support from relatives, fellow-pas tors and other friends.” Rev. Madi son goes on to sav, “ The men and women at our church have vowed to put behind us the failures o f the past, to lay aside gossip, pettiness, jealousy and church competition and to be about the business of sav ing sould in these last and evil days.” The New Jerusalem Church started on the corner o f Fremont and Mississippi— with much love and assistance from M r. Levan Johnson, Grand Master o f the N .W . St. Joseph Grand Lodge. It has now moved to 1615 N .E . Killingsworth, as a second step tow ard acquistion of its permanent wor ship facility. This Sunday’s work shop will be the first in this location. Rev. Madison acclaims, “ I know somebody has been praying, and I believe it’ s the saints o f God— the true Church.” According to Pastor Madison, “ The church measures success by movement into key areas for minis try and by quality Evangelism and Mission. As the church moves into the new area it will be sending out its Evangelism team twice a week; the team will be conducting intensive witnessing and follow-up activities. All Evangelism team members are required to be involved in an Evan gelism training class, and will also be required to enroll in Bible and Evangelism classes at Multnomah School o f the Bible next quarter. Furthermore, they will be required to participate in the Convention and Association’s mission and evangel ism auxiliaries.” Sunday School is held every Sun day at the New Jerusalem Church at 9:30 a.m . and worship service at 11:00 a.m. There will be a special, evening Thanksgiving worship ser vice. Thursday, November 26, 1981 at 7:00 p.m. at the church. Since the church has started, the Pastor’ s theme has been “ W hat Does the Church Say to A W orld In T ro u ble?” The evening sermon for the Thanksgiving service will also center around this theme— with emphasis on what is the church’s message in a decade of anxiety over tight money and scarce resources. Is not God able to supply all of our needs? The New Jerusalem Church welcomes all sinners without Christ and all Chris tians without a church home. Join us at 16th and Killingsworth this Sunday in praising God.” Tea welcomes Bethel pastor The Bethel A frican M ethodist Episcopal Church is pleased to in vite the public to a Welcome Tea, welcoming its new pastor, Matthew Allen Watley, and his fam- ily, to Bethel Church.
