First Covenant Church of Bessemer, PA

As we enter this Holy Week leading to Easter Sunday I pray that everyone can take a moment and pause and think about what Jesus did for us all on the cross. I pray that you always know his unending love and amazing grace! This video is from a few years ago but a great reminder that we will all be together again soon.

I just came to praise the Lord A beautiful sunny morning for worship!

Our unique 2020 Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. The Birth of Jesus 2 In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 All went to their own towns to be registered. 4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. 5 He went to... be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:1-7 New Revised Standard Version See more

On this Saturday in any other year our kiddos would be practicing for our annual Christmas program. Every year on the Sunday before Christmas our Sunday school and our choir perform a Christmas program that truly overwhelms the church with joy and kicks off a memorable Christmas week. As many things in this year we won’t be able to have our Christmas program. We may not be in our church but we are together and we are still able to celebrate the new born King. We continue to f...ind ways to share love and bring joy and some special girls wanted to share a gift with you all. They may be in different places but their voices are one and their message the same. We hope this little piece of tradition will help kick off your Christmas week and we hope you too can be somebody’s Christmas angel! Merry Christmas! Love Aislynn, Madison, Hayley, Riley and Ally See more

The Christmas season continues at First Covenant Church. Our parking lot services take place every Sunday at 11am. Please feel free to join our outdoor worship!

While helping set up the manger this morning, the girls wanted to go in and see the sanctuary. They exclaimed I remember this and I remember that. I recalled a message from PJ that asked, what is the Church? Is it the building at 10 S Main St? Whether it's in the sanctuary, along a shoreline, in a parking, lot, on a hillside, as we said way-back in March, we might not be meeting together during this unique time but walls do not make a church, believers do. Let's be believers together.

Thank you Evans/VanJura/Sobinovsky Family for putting together our manger scene. Even during the COVID Pandemic, God is with us. IMMANUEL!

Reminder that starting tomorrow, our parking lot service will go back to 11:00.

Rain or shine, we are worshipping at First Covenant Church. Next week, November 8th, we will begin at 11:00.
