Mt Bethel UMC was well represented in this years 2008 East Cobber Parade. The “Live It Live!” float, a real crowd pleaser, led the way with the “Live It Live!” Band and the “Live It Live!” dancers along with Russell the Race Guy, Miss Deone and Miss Jane.
Following “Live It Live!” was Mt Bethel’s own Ann D’Agostino, “Ms. Georgia Senior”. And finally, the Mt Bethel Christian Academy featuring MBCA students and teachers, accompanied by headmaster Dr. Bob Burris and principal Vivian Lovett, with the MBCA Cheerleaders and mascot.

As you may have seen this past Sunday, the church had some ancient books available for viewing this weekend. Some of the Academy classes got a chance to see them, and here are their thoughts:
Robin Chiang - 5th grade
My class visited the ancient books display yesterday and found it very interesting. The gentleman in charge gave the students a brief explanation of the history behind the exhibit. The students were amazed by the sheep skin scroll and the precision that the writers used to print the Word in square blocks. It was a once in a life time opportunity for our students to be so up close to museum quality writings of the scripture. Thank you to Mt. Bethel UMC for hosting such a historically relevant exhibit.
Linda Thomason - 5th grade
My fifth grade class viewed the ancient texts yesterday. I only wish that we had had more time with the man showing the rare collection as he was a wealth of information and history! It was a priceless and unexpected gift for the kids, and us, to see the bibles and Christian Books. The Hebrew Scroll was wonderful! We all loved it and learned a LOT from the experience. Thank You so much for including us.
