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 the Discipleship 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!

Join us Wednesday evenings, 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!
