1 Peter 5:2-3 NLT
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
May New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, be blessed with leaders who embody the heart of a shepherd, caring for those entrusted to them with dedication and love. Let the spirit of servant leadership pervade every corner of the community, from the quiet halls of its schools to the busy streets of its marketplaces, each leader serving not for personal gain but out of a genuine desire to benefit others.
May the leaders of New Bethlehem lead by example, their actions inspiring a legacy of integrity and selflessness. Let their conduct be a beacon that lights the path for others to follow, encouraging every citizen to act with kindness and humility in their daily interactions.
As New Bethlehem embraces this call to servant leadership, may the community flourish, strengthened by a foundation of mutual respect and proactive care. Let this spirit of service bring peace and prosperity to New Bethlehem, fostering an environment where all feel valued, supported, and connected.
May the homes of New Bethlehem be filled with harmony, the workplaces with cooperation, and the public spaces with camaraderie, as everyone contributes to the welfare of their neighbors and the growth of their town. Let New Bethlehem be known as a place where leaders serve with eagerness and where the community thrives under the guidance of those who lead by their own good example.
Blessed be New Bethlehem, a town where God’s principles of leadership are lived out daily, creating a nurturing environment for all. May it continue to grow as a community of peace, unity, and respect, under the watchful care of leaders who shepherd their people with wisdom and love.
