Watch Worship on FACEBOOK We are planning on changing our social media platform to Facebook live streaming and YouTube instead of Zoom so that we may reach a wider community in Bethel and beyond. Zoom will continue to be the platform for meetings and the coffee hour. If you don't follow the church on Facebook here is how you can find us: Click to follow on Facebook Be sure to like and share our page with all your friends! They will get notified when we have an event! If you do not have a Facebook account and need help setting that up, please call the office and speak to Heather and let her know so we can help you. Finally, if Facebook isn't your thing, the service will be on YouTube posted to our website to watch after Sunday morning at your convenience. The Phase-In Team
