Bethel's Ministry Update - April 24

Bethel Church,

We have heard from many of you how you appreciate the kindness and support of those around you. And, we know many of you are those bringers-of-joy that we hear about. Bethel pastors and staff are glad to be able to continue to minister to you, and we hope Bethel is adding to the hope and joy you find in the midst of these difficult times. These times affect everyone differently, whether it's relational, physical, mental or financial. We encourage you to keep your eyes and hearts open to the needs around you. It may not be what you expect, but God knows all our needs.
We know the God we need is the God HE IS.

We have five (5) things for you this week:

1. BUSINESS MEETING - Bethel will hold our congregational business meeting on Sunday (April 26) at 6:00 PM via Zoom meeting. Each of you should have received an email yesterday with the details, including the link to join. If you did not get this, please reply to this email and we can get that information to you.

2. SUNDAY WORSHIP - Just like the last few weeks, we invite you to join us for worship online at bethellutheran.church/stream, our mobile app and Facebook.
