HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Gert Douma who will celebrate her 81st birthday on Wednesday, February 24!
PLEASE PRAY for Arlene Noles who is residing at N. Cascade Health Rehab in Bellingham while she recovers from her recent fall.
TODAY is the first Sunday of Lent in the church calendar. We celebrate Jesus our Lord, and look to the cross, the place of redemption. During this Lenten season we will be focusing on the Names and titles of Jesus – Who He is and what He does for us.
Our weekly reflections and liturgy grew out of our Sunday School curriculum “How Majestic Is Your Name,” which our 5th grade classes normally study. We pray that the glorious Christ will become even dearer to us, as we consider His attributes and exalt His Name.
BETHEL ADMINISTRATOR: Starting in July, Bethel will have an Administrative Team consisting of the pastor, two elders, an Administrator, and an additional church member. The Administrator is a part-time paid staff position and must be a member of Bethel or willing to become a member. The church office can provide a copy of the full job description. If you would like to be considered for the Administrator position, or if you know of someone that should be considered, please contact the church office by March 15. Serving as Administrator will be an incredible opportunity to serve Christ by serving Bethel and its ministries.

THE CHURCH will be closed on Monday, March 1 for pest control.
