We have lots of exciting things planned for this year's SBC, including Planet Fitness and Orange Theory, who are coming to teach us about the body and science! 💪

Camp starts on June 25th and runs until August 13th. We meet on Thursday evenings here at Bethel Presbyterian Church from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
The cost for the whole program is $45 per child, with a family maximum of $125 (scholarships are available).

This year’s theme wraps around sharing gifts, being brave, praying, and hope. I hope you can make it! We will explore the promise of Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (NRSV), and we will learn how to find strength in God.

We hope you’ll join us for a cool, joy-filled summer adventure!
It is always a privilege to walk with your child on their faith journey!

Did you know that we now have a time during Sunday worship for you to request prayers of concern for yourself or someone you care about? We welcome prayers of joy and thanksgiving as well.

If you would like to receive prayer during worship, but do not want to announce it out loud, you may also contact Pastor Susan, and she will offer a prayer on your behalf.

We believe in the power of prayer! See you on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.

Honored to welcome the Memorial Day Parade as it concluded in our cemetery! Our Mission Committee was happy to serve the parade participants with water and frozen treats, while one of our members, Pam Decker, shared a few words with the crowd, and Pastor Susan offered a prayer in remembrance and gratitude for those who served.

Congratulations to Terri, Cheryl, and Pam, who are newly ordained as Deacons, and to Cliff, who was installed as an Elder on Sunday!

"Always a joyful day when ordaining and installing three brand new deacons + installing a ruling elder! What a privilege to welcome these dear ones into ordained ministry!" - Pastor Susan

Beginning on Pentecost Sunday (May 24), we will be changing the time of our Sunday worship to start at 10:00 AM, as well as trying a refreshed worship format designed to bring us together in prayer, praise, and fellowship! ❤️

Our updated service will include:
• “Prayer and Praise” led by the Revive Band with Frank Jackson, including intercessory prayer, personal prayer requests, and sharing joys and concerns
• Expanded congregational singing featuring both traditional and newer hymns
• The return of “Passing the Peace”
• The return of “Time With the Children”
• Preludes and postludes from our outstanding organist, Cody Soska

Since this begins on Pentecost Sunday, we invite everyone to wear red to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit! 🔥

On Sunday, I quoted David Brook's column from the New York Times, as we reflected upon Jesus' Farewell Discourse in the Gospel of John, and the need for God's people to stay connected to one another. Here's the column for those who might be curious/interested:

America is becoming more loveless: less dating, less marriage, less friendship, less patriotism. But love outside of self is what makes life meaningful.

BPC wishes you a Happy Mother's Day!
