MESSAGE FROM PASTOR DONNA
Dear Friends,

I realize that this may be disappointing news, but last week Bethel moved from being in the yellow to now being in the "orange" due to increases in covid cases. At this time, as long as we are in the orange, we will refrain from opening on November 15, however, we will keep a close eye on this and update you next week. 

  The exciting news is that his week we will not have our service on Zoom but on Facebook! Stay tuned for the link that will lead you to our Facebook page and service. The bulletin will also be a separate link that you can print or simply follow on your cell phone. Our coffee hour will be an additional link to join at the end of the service.
 If you have not done so already, please follow us on Facebook so that you will get ALL the notifications of posts and videos that will be posted in the future.

Finally, we ask for your patience. Bear with us as we transition to this new platform for our digital worship service. We are also exploring YouTube as another platform to upload to our website and email to members who may want to view the service later.

Blessings and enjoy this beautiful weather! God is good.
Pastor Donna

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:

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
Phase Forward Updates
Your Phase Forward Team has been working diligently preparing for
the opening of Sunday Worship Services within our Sanctuary. Understandably it may feel a bit different going forward and if you feel
it is too soon for you to join, that's ok.
Stewardship Message
