OK, Church... we just completed our study on Wednesdays of J.I. Packer's book "Knowing God". It has been great for those of us who have put our minds and hearts to work on it. Now, we are going to start a study on the book of Romans. You can plan to join us if you will on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM as we begin this study next Wednesday May 8th. We will start with some introductory information and cover Romans Chapter 1:1-17. If you want to read that ahead and be ready for discussion next week that will make it better for all of us! Plan to join us and plan to be blessed by this study of the book that Luther called "The clearest Gospel of all"!

Easter Services at Bethel: Easter Sunrise service at 6:30 AM Sunday morning followed by breakfast. Our regular Sunday morning resurrection celebration will be at 9:30 AM.

Just a few hours away from one of the most meaningful services of the year as we remember Christ's lessons taught at the Last Supper. Our Maundy Thursday Service begins at 7PM tonight. Maundy is derived from the latin word for "Mandate" you do the math. Hope you can join us!

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night or you'll be late to worship Sunday morning! It would be horrible to get here just as the pastor is finishing up!

Unfortunately the Valentine's dinner at Bethel has been cancelled due to the lack of opportunity to sell tickets in time due to the weather. The next fellowship event will be the church family day in May. Watch for upcoming information. But don't let the dinner being cancelled stop you from showing love to those around you!

Due to the extremely slick roads this morning, we are unfortunately going to have to cancel all services today at Bethel. Stay safe and warm, friends!

Facebook silence does NOT indicate a lack of action around Bethel! We are making plans for our revival coming up in just about 3 weeks March 3-8 with Brian Zitt preaching and Mike Hale leading music. It will be anything but bland! If you're wondering what's going on this week Here's what our services will focus on... As we continue our journey through Luke's gospel, we are in Chapter 5 this week in the morning service learning from the example of Peter and the others in "Overcoming Failure" and in the evening, we continue our study in 1 Corinthians in Chapter 15 this week as we study the timely message of "Evangelism 101" ... See you in church Sunday!

Erring on the side of caution, we are cancelling all services a Bethel today. Stay warm and stay safe!

Due to the crazy amount of snow and possible hazardous driving conditions, the annual business meeting scheduled for this evening has been cancelled. A decision regarding church services will be made early in the morning. We will let you know as soon as possible.

Love these kids... they did a great job with the VBS program this morning!

It seems we all want to rush right to the empty tomb of Easter... Yet, there is MUCH more to the faith that we profess than the glory of the empty tomb. The sadness in the eyes of Jesus as he rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday teach us much about our own misconceptions of who Jesus came to be. The full submission of Jesus in Thursday's garden teach us much about our own lack of obedience to God's will for us. The brutality of Friday's cross is the ULTIMATE demonstration of a greater love than any mere mortal can demonstrate. The Loneliness of Saturday's grave demonstrates that we are not alone when we feel abandoned by those around us... There is MUCH to learn in the events BEFORE the empty tomb!

Tomorrow is the final sermon on the "Wisdom of the Cross" from 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. What may appear to be foolish to the world is the Wisdom of God. What does it really mean for YOU as a follower of Christ? Join us tomorrow morning at 9:30 and find out!

Just ran across this picture from the first ever KIDS ROCK... look how tiny they were. We've come a long way from starting with just 5 kids! With Cindy Ruyle Jenny Maurizio Lohr Lisa Ruyle Bowker

Don't forget! Otherwise, you'll be getting here just as we are finishing up worship!

We are in the midst of a series on 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. 2 more sermons left as we discover together the "Wisdom of the Cross" which is direct opposition to the "Wisdom" of the world. Join us for the morning services the next two weeks March 11 & 18 at 9:30 AM to see what this means for the life of the follower of Christ!

Due to Revival starting next Sunday, there will be no Kids ROCK that night, the 25th. ABY will not meet at their regular time but will be attending the Revival service that evening at 7pm. Speaker will be Pastor Don Carpenter from Eldred Baptist Church.

Due to road conditions, there will be no Kids ROCK, ABY, or evening service tonight.

We got this photo given to us by Barbara Moran who found it in some of her parent's things and had it enlarged. Obviously, the date on the print is not the date it was taken. From what we can determine, it was taken sometime in the very early 1950s. It is now framed and in the foyer of the church for folks to take a look and see who they can recognize. Fun to see history!

Due to questionable weather conditions later this afternoon and evening and a significant number of leaders down with the flu bug and other illnesses, there will be no Kids ROCK, ABY, or Evening worship service tonight, January 7th... Everything will be back to normal next Sunday, January 14th!

Perhaps you made some new years resolutions to improve your life... Perhaps some of those resolutions are already broken... either way there's perhaps no better resolution you could make than to get into regular church attendance or get back into regular church attendance. To all of those who say things like "I don't need to go to church to be a Christian" let me remind you that you don't need to change the oil in your car or take your car in for maintenance in order for it to be a car either. But it'll run better and longer if you keep it properly maintained. There is no such thing as a "lone ranger" Christian. We all need the benefits of regular nourishment that is provided by Biblical preaching and teaching in a solid community of faith. The first Sunday worship service of 2018 begins tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM. We would love to help you get a tune-up and get your new year off on the right foot! Tomorrow morning we will seek to discover more about the incredible "Depth of God's Grace" from Ephesians chapter 3. Come as you are!

Love these kids... they did a great job with the VBS program this morning!

They believe this... you should too!

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, April 20th will be our final session of the Basic video series. Session #7 Communion, promises to be as enlightening as the others have been. Hope you can join us at 7:30 PM at Bethel!

Starting THIS WEDNESDAY we will begin the 7 week BASIC series by Francis Chan. It begins Wednesday night at 7:30 pm. This would be a great opportunity for those who are just trying to figure out what the Christian faith is all about as well as those who have been following Christ for years. It's sort of Christianity 101, and will be a blessing for all who attend. Why not devote a little bit of your time each week during lent to learning more about the BASIC truths of the faith?

I'm just beginning to figure out how to program it, but this should work out well!
