My first memory of Beulah— I came to worship in the spring. It was my first me aending and I had done some research on Missionary churches. My parents were willing to come with me. There weren’t many people, but the people that were there were so welcoming and approached my parents and me with so much kindness. The worship songs were so meaningful to me, it was clear God had meant for me to be there that day. Mike shared a wonderful two part sermon series on trusng God through transions of life. When I spoke to Pastor Kelley and his wife Kelly, they were so kind, took me with me, and I felt truly valued. I knew this was the church for me.
A “God-moment” that I experience was— God moments happen regularly for me at Beulah, but one thing I truly delight in is working at the coffee bar. I get to see Beulah come alive as the worship team is praccing, and the small groups come in. I get to see the Holy Spirit working in and among the people that come. It is such a beauful gi to be able to serve.

A “God-moment” that I

(On the Wings of a Dove). Pastor Earl's Christmas Eve service, he asked me to
read in the service. I tried to tell him that I'm shy, but he kept saying
"you can do it." He wouldn't let me talk my way out of it.
Bethany Hartman
I attend(ed) Beulah 1979-present
My first memory of
Beulah— I started attending after
graduating college and moving to the area because of Greg. Everyone was
extremely welcoming and they let me begin helping with music right away. There
was an exceptional choir, with 3 other members who were music teachers. I started
accompanying the choir and sharing the weekly piano responsibilities. In the
olden days, we had one choir number and one or two special music pieces every
week! When Greg and I got married in my home town 2 hours south, several
families from Beulah drove down to the wedding, which was so thoughtful. Beulah
felt like home to me immediately.
A “God-moment” that I
experience was— Most of my God moments
have been the opportunities I've had to contribute musically. After having
children and not working for several years, I could still share those gifts and
create lasting memories through children's choir, children's musicals, and adult
cantatas. God provided an outlet for me that I didn't even realize I needed.
Another significant
memory is— Possum bus trips were a
unique and unforgettable time. Preparing service music, choral music, cantatas,
kids musicals and being grateful that I was at such a musically inclined and
gifted church! Church softball games were a significant part of our lives for
many years, and our kids grew up being dragged out to the ball diamonds for
hours every week. "Coffee Break" Bible study for women in the late
80's with child care provided was a bright spot every week, and ministered to
other moms in the community, too. I've witnessed Beulah's many ups and a few
downs over the years, and seen God's hand in it all,
the good and the bad. God
has been faithful and steadfast to Beulah, and I have faith that will continue
in an energized future.

I attend(ed) Beulah 1945 - 1953 and then from 2011 to present
My first memory of
Beulah— Attending my first prayer meeting with
my age group. And - the big all church picnic at McNaughton Park.
A “God-moment” that I
experience was— After being saved (and
sanctified) at Prairie Camp I was baptized at church by Rev. Bacon.
Another significant
memory is— My parents had become active in the
adult Sunday School. A class costume party was planned to be held at our house.
After everyone had arrived another couple, completely hidden by their masks,
showed up. My Mother told them they must be here for a neighbors' party, but by
hand signals and head nods they insisted they were at the right place. She
finally let them in and they went in to join the rest of the group. Even after
much interrogation by the group, no one could figure out who they were. Turns
out, they were the new pastor and his wife - Gordon and Phyllis Bacon.
