Greetings in the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ!

We, here at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pennington, will be celebrating our 200th Church Anniversary on Sunday, October 16, 2016 starting at 1:00 pm and we are requesting the support of our sister churches and the community around us.

First, we are asking that you join us for this momentous occasion as this bicentennial landmark continues to serve as refuge and a beacon of hope for all people. Bethel is the third oldest church in Pennington and has been a pillar of endurance in this community.

We will start gathering at the African Cemetery on Main Street with a short historical skit at 1:00 pm and start the Legacy of Excellence Walk to Bethel. Followed by a Living Tree Dedication and a tour of the historic Bethel Church at 1:30 pm then proceeding to the Presbyterian Church located at 13 South Main Street, Pennington, NJ 08534 for the Ecumenical Service at 2:00 pm and gospel concert featuring the Capital City Gospel Singing Group at 3:00 pm. Secondly, we are asking that you reach down into your hearts and help support our efforts with a donation of $200.00, which represents one dollar for every year of our church’s existence. Every contributor will receive as a gift a journal of our beautiful historical 200-year-old landmark.

Finally, Bethel AME Church is doing some marvelous things not only in the church but also in the community at large. The church is alive and growing and we are excited about what God has done in our midst. We hope that you will be able to join us and help us celebrate the bicentennial existence of our beloved church. We thank you in advance for your generous support and friendship through the years and we hope to see you there in October so that we can share in together the goodness of God’s awesome power and blessings!

Be Blessed in the LORD,
Rev. Dr. Angela M. Battle, Senior Pastor
