NEXT SUNDAY Pastor Aaron Walters will lead our service.  

BETHEL FAMILY: Council has been in contact with Pastor Bryan and we agreed that announcing a decision during the Easter season would be a distraction for both congregations as we remember and celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection. Therefore, we are not expecting an answer until next Sunday, April 24. We trust and pray that God has been in control of this process and that He will provide Pastor Bryan and Stephanie the same clarity that He gave our congregation on April 3. Please continue reaching out and encouraging them by sending them a note or email. Contact information is on a table in the library; it was also included in the weekly email.  

REMINDER: Sunday School resumes next week, April 24.  

STARTING MAY 1, deacons will resume taking the offering during the service and the baskets will be removed from the foyer. If you are unable to attend, you are still welcome to mail your offerings and budget envelopes to the church office. 

THE CHURCH will be closed on Friday, April 22 from 1-3 pm to spray for flies.
