Praise God from whom all blessings flow. I greet you in the name that is above every other name the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for coming to the family meeting in February. At our last family meeting it was stated that the camp will be open this summer for camping season. We are looking forward to the state using our camp-grounds for the Summer Assembly. I believe that this will be beneficial to both Beth-any as well as the state of New Jersey in this joint effort. There was a positive expres-sion from the body about the upcoming summer events at the camp. In addition I have meant with some of the Bethany district choir members and Rev. Still. They have expressed a desire to continue the choir. With that in mind it is my goal to establish them as an auxiliary of Bethany with officers following the template of the state. I believe that we can do this at the semi-annual with no objections. If we have any questions or objections please notify me as soon as possible that we might clear them up and be able to move forward.
As I move through this final year, I believe that there is still so much work left to be done, so I will continue to do that work with all of your help.
To God be the glory for the great work that he is doing through Bethany. I appreciate all of the hard work done by every auxiliary. Truly you are second to none.
Fill The GAP – Reconnect the connected.
In His Service, Moderator Aaron C. Lee

Women’s Auxiliary President
Praise God for all of His blessings, Greetings Moderator Aaron C. Lee, Sr., Deaconess Randy Lee, Women of Bethany and the Bethany Family, Grace and Peace from our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Through all of the turbulence in the atmosphere and the world there is still a quiet peace that only the Redeemed can understand! Bethany woman we are still seeing ordi-nary moments with new eyes and moving mountains that seem impossible. I believe this is a new day for Bethany to accomplish the impossible. We are extraordinary! I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
We the Laymen’s Movement give thanks for another quarter of continuously being blessed by the Almighty. We are remaining steadfast in our meetings, receiving a powerful Word each month from hand-picked, anointed men of God. Thank you to Bro. James Vidal, for-mer president of the Movement, Min. Will turner, and Rev. Jimmy Lindsay, for their mighty lessons during the months of December, January, & February, respectively.
This Spring began a season filled with significant events within the association. March 23rd was the Laymen’s Youth Bible Bowl, headed by Rev. Jerry Fields, where all counties, with their youth, convened at the New Mickle Baptist Church in Camden, NJ. On Thursday, May 9th the laymen will be in session at our association’s Semi-Annual Session held at Camp Cedar Knoll in Millville. This will be my final Semi-Annual as president and I am grateful for the preachers who have blessed us during these anointed sessions over the span of four years. On Saturday, May 11th the laymen will host the Northeast Regional Conference at 9am, and our Annual Pre-Mother’s Day Concert at 5pm, both held at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, 1198 Penn St., Camden, Dr. Clifton Freeman, Pastor. Join us as we celebrate and serenade the motherly figures in our lives with song. Furthermore, we want to give special recognition to our brother, Melvin Timberlake, an angel watching over us, who worked enthusiastically with the Pre-Mother’s Day Concert for many years. Thank you mothers…and thank you too, Bro. Timberlake. Bro. Douglas Walden

February 14, 2019 many were out celebrating the day with the love of their life. However, Bethany Baptist Association met at Union Baptist Temple to support our youth. The Temple was filled with representatives from various churches from the Association. The Elementary School students shared the poem titled “Hey Black Child” by Useni Eugene Perkins. The Middle School students shared their thoughts on the quote from the Former First Lady - Mi-chelle Obama, “When they go low, you go high.” The High School students presented a short message regarding the topic, “The Effects of Social Media on Our Youth.” Each presenter did an awesome and unique presentation in their own way. We thank God for the examples placed in the lives of our future generation as they serve today. A special thank you to our Chairperson, Sister Yvonne Pierce Harrison.
