Help support Bethel Temple Church Of God on Frank Street, in need of about $6,000 to replace stolen equipment.

Pastor Larry Pinkard will invoke the prophet Nehemiah from the pulpit Sunday — and tell a tale about how walls will be rebuilt on Frank Street.

The sermon will touch on the tale of two houses of worship attacked by evildoers, one in biblical times, one in 2009.

Our Church Map, powered by Google Maps, is a great resource and it’s still growing as we continue to add Evangelical and Charismatic churches across the state. Click on a pin and you can find information such as:

  • church location
  • church web address
  • church phone number
  • link to additional info on the church from Google

We hope to add additional features in the future, so stay tuned.

South Windsor pastor profiled

A nice profile from the Courant of a South Windsor pastor who’s come a long way back from terrible injuries suffered in a fire:

“Maybe the Lord allowed me to go through this trial as a teaching tool to point out how God wants us to respond when trials come to our life,” he said.

A born-again Christian, [Pastor Andrew] Knight has spoken in churches along the East Coast and as far away as Albuquerque, hoping to spread his message of faith.

“I used to think, ‘Well, fires only happen to someone else — tragedy would never happen to me,’” Knight said. “The question is, ‘How are you going to respond?’ That’s where my story has some teeth to it.”

This year, Knight is thankful he can walk and support himself financially. He has moved his startup church, Constitution Baptist Church, into a building he rents for $1 a month.

He counts these among his blessings. “I call them the doors of opportunity that the Lord has opened up. The Bible says that all promotion comes from above, so I have to deflect any thanks to the Lord.”
