LENTEN STUDY GROUP
Pastor Nancy will be leading a six-week Lenten study during the Sunday School hour (9:30-10:30 am), beginning on the first Sunday of Lent on February 26 and running through Palm Sunday on April 2.
We will be looking at Amy Jill-Levine's book
Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner's Guide to Holy Week. There are numerous
previews of this book online.

HOME FOOD COLLECTION
For the month of April our focus is on
Pasta & Spaghetti Sauce.
These and other non-perishable food items can be brought in throughout the month and placed in the HOME collection basket in the Gathering Area.
Our in-worship collection will be
Sunday, April 16th.
Thank you for supporting our local food pantry efforts to help needy families in our community.
THESE DAYS
a daily devotional, for
April, May, and June
is available on the table in the Gathering Area. Be sure to pick one up today.
"To nurture the daily practice of prayer and the reading of Scripture, there is solid help in the pages of These Days. The devotions wrestle faithfully with the doubts, joys, and challenges of the Christian life."
HYGENE ITEMS NEEDED
The church is collecting travel size hygiene items for
Shower Ministry Hygiene Kits.
We are most in need of deodorant, shave cream, lotion, shampoo & conditioner. Full size towels are also needed. Please drop off items on the bench outside the church office.
Thank you for supporting this community ministry.
MIRACLE CLOTHS
Windows, Mirrors, glass of all kinds - everyone has them, but are they clean and streak free? They can be if you use Miracle Cloths!
Get two – one for the car and one for the house. Suggested donation: $6 for 1, $10 for 2.
Available in the church office.
All proceeds to the Building Fund.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT CLOSET
The church has medical equipment available to loan. If you need a walker, cane, bedside commode, toilet riser or bath bench for an upcoming medical procedure
check with the church office. We also accept donations of medical equipment.
PHONE SCAM INVOLVING BETHEL
We have heard from a few of our members that they have received texts that appear to be from Rev. Nancy Coleman (but using a different number).
The text says she needs help getting some Amazon gift cards for women battling cancer in the hospital.
This is a scam.
If you receive a text message like this, please do not respond and block the number.
If you have any questions, please
contact the church office.
