Watch and Engage Online at 9:00 & 10:45 am

If you watch on Facebook you can engage with others by chatting. If you watch via your browser there is access to a Bible and a way to take notes. The stream will start around 10 minutes before the service and end around five minutes after so that you can connect with others if watching on Facebook.

  Place all items in the grocery cart in the entryway.

• Supporting Our Community From time to time we have the opportunity to support our community in various ways. Make sure to check out the Connect wall in the lobby for your opportunity to connect and help others.

• When Your Way Isn’t Working This church-wide study starts today. Many of our LIFE Groups will dive deeper into the topic. Here’s a synopsis: Jesus, in some of his final words to his followers, didn’t give them a plan or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor of what a good life looks like. Scan the QR code or go to ExperienceBethel.org/groups to see the available LIFE Groups.

• Baked Goods We are so grateful for all that supply cookies and other baked goods for us at our hospitality table. If you would like to help out in this way and share your wonderful creation with others please sign up! First or second service, it doesn’t matter, bring them with you when you come. The sign-up sheet can be found on the Connect wall.

• Weather Cancellations If there is a need to cancel our church events this winter due to weather, then we will post it on our website, social media sites, and a message will be put on the church phone.

• Bethel Students - Neon Night Get ready for an unforgettable evening filled with food, games, and an exciting opportunity to learn how we can be a light in this dark world! For more details, visit www.ExperienceBethel.org/theme or talk to Pastor Aaron.

• Prayer Team If you would like to be informed about prayer needs of the church and our congregation, we invite you to be part of the prayer ministry. As we receive prayer concerns we will send an email to give you the opportunity to pray. (This does not include prayer requests shared on connection cards as those are only shared with staff and Elders). To be added to the prayer team write, “Prayer Team” on your connection card.
