Bethel Flash

   To My Loving Church Family,

Welcome to the weekly Bethel Flash! Bethel is a place where people love God, love people, serve God, and are seeking to save the world. We are more than a building or a service. It is about people, just like you. The heartbeat of Bethel is about finding and growing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other.

In this newsletter you will find upcoming events, whose serving, and ministry/mission opportunities. If you want to place something in this newsletter, you must fill out an announcement sheet. You can find these at the welcome center or see our Associate Pastor. Come back every week and stay up to date with all of the church's news.

With Love From Your Pastor,

Pastor David

MISSIONS

Jerusalem Missions: Local Missions

Good News Club

 One of the most exciting and fun outreach events here at Bethel! This is an outreach to the children at Fair Oak Elementary School. The volunteers are so passionate and in love with the children and are doing all that they can to share the love of Jesus to the children. For many of the children the Good News Club is the only church that they have. If you are interested in helping,  please see a staff member or Gwen McCall. It can not be explained only experienced!


Telecare Team

Do you like talking on the phone?  This ministry is for those who are interested in talking on the phone to first time attendees.  Phone calls can be made from the comfort of your home.  If you love talking to people and love meeting new people and you don’t mind calling a few people about every other month, then please call the church office and join us as we reach our community!


L.O.A.V.E.S. for Jesus Team

The Visitation Team deliver Banana Nut Bread to our “First Time Attendees”.  Come and be a part of a mission team that will take loaves of bread to those who visit our church.  The goal is to establish a relationship with those who visit and encourage them to be a part of our growing vibrant church.  If you love people and love meeting new people, and you don’t mind going to visit a few people about every other month, then please call the church office and join us as we reach our community!


Baker Team

The Baker team is a mission team that makes 2 loaves of banana nut bread on their Sunday.  About every other month these team members bake this bread so that the Loaves for Jesus team can take these loaves of bread to our first time attendees.  This is a great mission project and it is essential to our visitation mission here at Bethel.  If you love to cook and don’t mind baking two loaves about one time every other month, then please call the church office and join us as we reach our community!
