Bethel Church

On Sunday, May 27 (Memorial Day weekend) the time of our worship service will change from 10:30am to 9:30am. Please make the changes on your calendars and in your minds so that you can arrive at worship on time and ready to praise God together. The time of our worship service will change back to 10:30am the weekend after Labor Day (September 9).

Plan to be at Bethel for the testimonies, the music…and a potluck meal afterward on Sunday, May 20th!  Come see the choir sing songs of hope and tell their stories of redemption and healing.

We now have a way for Bonnie and I to send Announcements out rapidly to those who have signed up for Announcements from Bethel. When they go, they can also go instantly to our webpage, to Twitter and to Facebook. In some ways, this is a test of that. It is also a way to announce that you can check us out in a lot of different areas.
