Ephesians 4:29 MSG
Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
May New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, be a community where every word spoken acts as a gift, enriching the lives of all who hear. Let the words of each resident bring light and life, encouraging hearts and fortifying bonds within this cherished community. As leaves in a vast and vibrant forest, may every individual in New Bethlehem contribute to an atmosphere where kindness reigns and positive affirmations flourish.
May the streets of this town echo with conversations that heal, not hurt; that build, not break; that comfort, not criticize. As the community engages in daily interactions, whether in marketplaces, schools, workplaces, or homes, let them remember the power of their words as tools for good, guided by the wisdom and grace that God provides.
Let New Bethlehem be known far and wide as a place where communication fosters understanding and respect, where conflicts are resolved with compassion, and where the young are taught the value of speaking with integrity and intention. May this commitment to uplifting speech create a legacy of harmony and mutual respect that endures for generations.
Blessed be New Bethlehem, where the spirit of unity is spoken into existence through each word uttered in love. May the community thrive under the canopy of God’s guidance, each day drawing closer to the ideal of speech that is pure, peace-promoting, and praiseworthy. Let the God of peace Himself be ever-present in New Bethlehem, blessing its people with prosperity and joy that springs from a foundation of thoughtful, gracious communication.
