This Week At Bethel - July 14, 2021
Office Hours: Monday-Thursday 9am-12pm

Pastor Dave's Office Hours:
Monday 9am-12pm
Sunday Worship Service 9:30am
WOW is cancelled for this evening.

In addition, there will be no WOW on July 21st or July 28th.

Join us again Wednesday evenings, starting August 4th for WOW (Worship on Wednesday), a 30 minute, camp-style worship with Holy Communion. We will gather at 6:00pm at the Bethel Picnic Shelter (or Discipleship Hall if inclement weather). Bring a lawn chair and invite friends.

This is perfect for a midweek "recharge", or for those not ready for "indoor" worship yet, or if you will be out of town on the weekend and can't join us then. Hope to see you soon!
1) If you are FULLY VACCINATED you do not have to wear a mask.

2) If you are NOT fully vaccinated, you are expected to wear a mask. This applies to youth who are not yet vaccinated. 
  * If you have chosen NOT to receive the vaccine, we expect that you will show respect for those who are unable to be vaccinated yet (i.e. children, those with underlying issues) and wear a mask out of Christian love and generosity toward others, especially the most vulnerable.

3) Children over the age of 2 are expected to wear masks at all times, even in the nursery.
Pastor Dave will be on vacation from July 19th-August 1st

There will be no WOW on July 21st or July 28th.

The Office will be closed on July 26th
Does this summer heat have you longing for cooler weather?
Does the craziness of getting back to normal (whatever that really means!) have you in the dumps?

Sounds like we could use a little Christmas cheer!

Join us for a special Christmas in July worship gathering next Sunday, July 25th at 9:30 am.

We’ll sing some Christmas Carols. We’ll hear the Christmas Story.

Invite a friend and let’s celebrate Jesus!
If you are available to volunteer as a Worship Assistant during the summer, please take a look at the Sign Up sheet. We are in need of more volunteers most weeks.
