OUR FAMILY would like to say thank you to the Bethel family for all the prayers, cards, meals, and visits over the past months — so helpful, delicious, and appreciated!! God has been so good to us through you and I’m slowly getting stronger as the days come and go. God is good and we pray His blessings for you as well.
Thank you, Jerry, Sue and Kerri
PLEASE KEEP Stan and Sharon De Vries in your prayers as he continues to recover. Stan received an additional week of rehab at CHCC and plans on returning home early this week.
NEW MEMBERS: The council has received the membership of Levi, Lindsey, Lexy, Rilee and Kamrie Bendixen from Sonlight Community CRC. Welcome to our Bethel family Levi, Lindsey, Lexy, Rilee and Kamrie!
POTLUCK IN BASEMENT: If you are visiting Bethel, you are welcome to join us for a potluck hosted by care group #2 in the basement following this morning’s service.
HIGH SCHOOL CATECHISM needs a larger classroom so we will now meet in the downstairs council room. The elders will gather before the worship service in Pastor Bryan’s church office.
8TH GRADERS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS...will you make the cut? Tonight, in youth group we will be having a "Chopped" style cooking competition in the Bethel basement. You don't want to miss out on this fun evening. Supper will be served at 6:00 as usual and we'll be finished at 8:00. Friends are also welcome! Talk to Dee Hiemstra with any questions or if you need a ride.
