Galatians 5:13-14 NLT
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
May New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, be enveloped in the freedom that God bestows, a freedom that liberates not just in spirit but in action, guiding each heart towards service and love. Let this freedom become the cornerstone of the community, where every action and every word is a reflection of the selfless love that God exemplifies.
In the streets, homes, and gathering spaces of New Bethlehem, may the bonds of love grow stronger, weaving a fabric of community that is resilient, warm, and inclusive. May this love be the force that drives the town forward, turning every challenge into an opportunity for unity and every success into a shared joy.
May the residents of New Bethlehem discover the profound joy and fulfillment that come from using their freedom to serve one another. Let their service shine as a beacon of hope, inspiring not just their own community but those beyond, showcasing the beauty of living a life that mirrors God’s commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves.
In every endeavor, may New Bethlehem thrive, anchored in the values of compassion, empathy, and mutual respect. May the town be a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together, united in the purpose of lifting each other up and spreading love in abundant measure.
Let New Bethlehem stand as a model of God’s kingdom on earth, where freedom is lived out through acts of kindness, where every resident knows the strength of community, and where love is the language spoken by all. In this blessed community, may every day be a celebration of the freedom and love that God so generously gives.
