Worship Update
Just a reminder that masks are required for worship and any other indoor activity at Bethel for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Masks must be worn for the entire time that we are indoors. Exceptions are for members of the choir (while singing) and Readers/Prayer Readers while they are speaking.
Worship will be held in Fellowship Hall where we can get better ventilation.
Worship will be more limited but will still include songs and Holy Communion. This will be our standard worship for the foreseeable future, until our county and our nation has a better grasp on the Covid-19 Delta variant.
Throughout this pandemic, we have done the "next right thing." At this point, the next right thing is to take a step back so as best to control the environment for worship and any other activities we offer at Bethel. We pray that this will not be an extended period, but as we have been doing all along, we will faithfully follow CDC guidelines for our county, state, and nation.
Please pray for those who are currently suffering with the new variant of Covid-19 and please encourage everyone you know to get vaccinated!

Music Ministry News
Calling all Ringers! Bethel's OffeRings Chime Group begins this fall! We are excited to bring back our chime group, open to high school students and adults. No experience necessary! If you would like to try it, director Darline DeMott says she will have you ringing in no time. Hoping to welcome back many of our regulars, too! There is a sign up sheet on the table in the vestibule (with all the others), please just let us know if you are interested and we will follow up with a Doodle poll to work out a weekly rehearsal that fits best for our schedules. Can't wait to get ringing!
Adult Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 6:30 pm.
You can also support our music ministries through regular giving to the Jones/Joyner Music Fund. Your donations help bless Shenandoah University Scholarship Students, and additional musicians for worship and special events who bless us with their gifts. We have a goal to raise $6000 in this fund by December 1st to enhance special music offerings this fall and into the Christmas season. An anonymous donor has offered to match donations to the Jones/Joyner Fund, up to $1000 through September.
Come be a part of Bethel’s amazing music programs!
