MATTHEW 28 is the name of a new support group starting at Bethel. Christ gave us the great commission to go out into the world to share the gospel. Sometimes we struggle with how to do that, what words to say to our non-Christian friends.... In this group we will encourage each other as we try to reach out, Pastor Steve will be our facilitator. We will meet Saturday June 8, at McDonalds at 8 am. 

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FUND: If you haven't yet turned in your Christian Education Fund pledge for the 2019-2020 school year, pledges will still be accepted through today. Thank you to all who have pledged for the coming year and for your faithful giving as we wrap up this school year.
