🌍 African-Themed Potluck Dinner at Bethel 🌍

Join us this Sunday after the PM worship service for our May Monthly Potluck Dinner!

This month, our African brothers and sisters will be sharing dishes from their cultures with our church family. We are thankful for this opportunity to celebrate the beautiful diversity that God has given to His church.

The gospel not only reconciles us to God through Jesus Christ, but also unites us to one another as brothers and sisters. In Christ, people from every tribe, language, and nation are gathered into one family and seated together at one table of grace.

As the Lord continues to bring new people into our congregation, we encourage everyone to use this potluck as an opportunity to welcome newcomers, meet someone new, and grow together in Christian fellowship. Sometimes a simple conversation over a meal can become a meaningful encouragement and blessing.

Whether you are a long-time member, a visitor, or joining us for the first time, you are warmly invited.

📅 Sunday, May 31
🕒 After the PM Service (3:30 PM)
📍 Bethel Canadian Reformed Church

Come hungry, come thankful, and come ready to enjoy fellowship together as God's family!

🌿 Sunday Worship – Bethel Canadian Reformed Church 🌿

Join us this Sunday as we gather to worship our faithful God and hear His life-giving Word.

Morning Service – 9:30 AM
“By Faith, Noah Constructed the Ark”
Scripture: Hebrews 11:7

In a world that ignored God’s warnings and lived only for what could be seen, Noah trusted God’s Word concerning things not yet seen. We will reflect on what it means to live by faith, walk in reverent fear, and hold fast to Jesus Christ, our true Ark and only refuge from the coming judgment.

Afternoon Service – 3:30 PM
“In the Blood and Spirit of Christ, We Are Washed”
Heidelberg Catechism: Lord’s Day 26

As we reflect on the meaning of baptism, we will hear God's comforting promise that through the blood and Spirit of Christ, all our sins are washed away. Our cleansing is certain, complete, and leads us into a life of holiness and gratitude before God.

This Sunday will also be a special day of thanksgiving as we rejoice in the public profession of faith and holy baptism in the morning service.

All are warmly welcome. Whether you are exploring Christianity, looking for a church home, or seeking hope and peace, we would love to have you join us.

Come and hear the good news of the gospel: by faith we are united to Christ, our true refuge, and through His blood and Spirit we are washed, renewed, and welcomed into the family of God.

We look forward to worshiping together this Sunday!

“Paul Proclaims that Christ Is the Peace of the People of God”

“Two Impossibilities in the Christian Life”

Bethel Monthly Potluck Dinner

This Sunday (April 26), after our PM worship (3:30 PM), we will gather for our monthly potluck dinner.

Having been gathered by Christ through His Word, we continue in the communion of saints, sharing not only spiritual gifts, but also our lives, our time, and our table together.

This month, we will have a tortilla-themed potluck.

Please feel free to bring a dish to share—especially something that can be enjoyed together (toppings, fillings, or any dish are all welcome!).

This is more than just a meal.
It is a time to welcome one another in the love of Christ, grow in unity as His people, and share life together as those who have been forgiven and brought into one body.

🤍 All are warmly welcome.
Come, worship with us—and then stay, eat, and share in the life of Christ’s church together.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
