Psalm 52:8 NASB

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

May New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, flourish like a green olive tree planted in the nourishing soil of God’s everlasting love. As roots grow deep in faith, may the community thrive, drawing sustenance from the ceaseless stream of God’s kindness and grace.

Let the spirit of resilience and growth pervade every corner of New Bethlehem, from its bustling streets to its quietest homes. May each resident find strength and renewal under the shelter of God's faithfulness, trusting in His unfailing lovingkindness that endures from generation to generation.

As the olive tree bears fruit in its season, so too may New Bethlehem bear the fruits of love, joy, and peace, enriching the lives of all who dwell within and extending a warm welcome to those who pass through. May the community be known as a sanctuary—a place of refuge and safety—where God’s presence is felt profoundly and His protection is assured.

In moments of challenge, may the enduring strength of God’s house uphold the people of New Bethlehem, providing them with the fortitude to persevere and the wisdom to flourish. Let their lives be testimonials of God’s nurturing care, inspiring others with their growth and steadfastness.

Blessed be New Bethlehem, a community deeply rooted in the house of God, where trust in His eternal lovingkindness blossoms into a vibrant testament to His goodness and care.
