Bethel Ministry Update - March 27, 2020
Bethel Family,
We're approaching our third weekend worshiping online, together (yet separate). Thank you for your patience and support during this time, and we pray that the limited connections we've all been able to have with each other as Bethel Church has been encouraging and fulfilling for each of you. Please reply with any ideas, thoughts, and feedback as we explore this unusual and uncertain time together.
This week, we have three (3) things for you:
1. Sunday Worship
We will be worshiping together online again this week (March 29) and next (April 5). We had some issues with our website for about 45 minutes last Sunday, and the company that hosts our website should be prepared for the increased amount of traffic this weekend (the issue was company wide since they provide websites and apps for churches). We will also upload the worship service on Facebook so it's available in both places for you this time.
2. Lots of Online Resources
On the same page as the worship video, we are providing various resources for children, youth and families.
3. Blessing Blitz - Opportunity to love our Healthcare workers!
Each week, we'll encourage Bethel Church to send a note of appreciation, encouragement, or prayer to a group of heroes in our community.
This week we want to bless our healthcare workers at Lake Region Healthcare.
Send your letters, drawings, notes to*:
Lake Region Healthcare
712 Cascade St. S.
Fergus Falls, MN 56537
You can address it generally as "Lake Region Staff" or be more specific and designate a particular department.
*Please send them directly to Lake Region, not to Bethel Church.
We will suggest another group next week.
Thank you, Bethel Church, for being the church scattered throughout our community during this time. There are lots of unknowns, but we it's comforting to know that we worship the God who not only knows, but also controls, the future!
Praise God!
