TODAY we are privileged to have Sherrie Turner, the executive director at Whatcom County Pregnancy Clinic, speak to us. She is excited to share with us about the work at W.C.P.C. Our offering this morning is designated for this cause.

PLEASE JOIN US for our Good Friday communion service this week at 7 pm and next Sunday as we celebrate Easter and our risen Lord! At our Easter service we will also be celebrating the baptism of Kiva Douglas Gitamara! 

OUR GOOD FRIDAY offering is designated for the church plant, Friend of Sinners Church, led by Aaron De Boer under the guidance of Second CRC. It is in the foothills, broadly defined as the territory east of Everson and Deming. Please pray for Aaron as he begins this ministry.

ADMINISTRATOR STILL NEEDED: Bethel currently has no applicants for Administrator. The Administrator is a part-time paid staff position starting in July. He or she must be a member of Bethel or willing to become a member. Serving as Administrator would be a great opportunity to serve our church and its ministries! For more information or to apply, please contact the church office by March 29.
