DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT BETHEL CRC: We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your partnership in our church plant, Metro North.  Your past and continued donations have truly made reaching those who are lost and unchurched in Sterling Heights a possibility. We are in an exciting time moving our church from our home into a public space. Please continue to pray for us as we bring the good news of Christ to this community. To God be the Glory! ~ Pastor Steve, Mandy, Isabelle, Aiden & Carolyn
