Weekly News & Updates for Bethel Lutheran Church

June 11th Bluegrass Mass

While the Pastor’s away, let the Bluegrass play!

Pastor Dave and George Donovan will be away at Synod Assembly next Sunday, but we will be offering a unique Bluegrass Worship Liturgy led by Pastor Terry Hannon, Bethel Musicians and featuring some very special guests led by the very capable Marilyn Shenenberger! Invite your family and friends to join us for some worshipful toe tapping, hand clapping and joyful music!

Luther League - Bethel’s Sr. High Youth Group is holding a 100 Envelope Challenge!

What is a 100 Envelope Challenge? There are 100 envelopes on a poster board in the narthex. Each envelope in the series represents a donation amount. You take an envelope, fill out the slip of paper, and place cash/check or pay online the dollar amount on the front of the envelope. You can place the envelope in the offering plate or drop it off at the office for Kim Williams. 

If you want to put more than that amount in, that is totally allowed! The goal of the challenge is to have every envelope sponsored and turned in to the office by the end of May. If we get a supporter for each of the 100 envelopes for only the dollar amounts on the envelopes, we will raise $5,050. We are hoping to raise enough money for the youth to attend Camp Caroline Furnace and be able to get a jump on fundraising for National Youth Gathering!
