The Church Is Like the Mafia

“The church is like the mafia in one way—you must be a confessed cosmic criminal to join. To eat at His table you must be unworthy in order to be worthy.”—Rev. John P. Sartelle

“Unworthy confessed criminals” will gather in small groups this Fall to gaze upon unspeakably precious treasure set before them in Christ Jesus in the Bible, to encourage each other in the amazing grace that accomplishes their pardon and makes it possible to be transformed from their old ways.
 
This coming weekend is the annual Fall kickoff for shepherd groups at Bethlehem. Bless and be blessed by participation.
