INSTALLATION OF NEW DEACONS TODAY Bethel’s new Deacons are Pat Gorham and Karen Sartell. Thank you to Lance Erickson and Brian Weldon who have completed their terms of faithful service on Council.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE LORD'S SUPPER – This past week we examined our lives, hearts and consciences. If your desire is to live in faithful obedience before God and in love and peace with your neighbors, please join us in this meal. When we come to the

table with true repentance for our sins, believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, He welcomes us with loving arms to taste His goodness and to participate in

the joy of His kingdom.

Please be informed that the communion elements are juice and bread. There are gluten-free wafers in a cup in the middle of the bread tray. NEW MEMBERS WELCOMED NEXT SUNDAY – We will welcome Troy and Janelle Payment and Sam Daml into membership next Sunday, August 21st. As part of this welcoming we will also celebrate the baptism of Janelle Payment. We praise God as we look ahead to this exciting day.

SECOND OFFERING NEXT SUNDAY – CROSSROADS BIBLE INSTITUTE equips the church to disciple people in prison with the Word of God, free of charge, wherever they are incarcerated. It is a personal, in-depth and long-term program that is uniquely designed to help people grow dramatically in a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ, preparing them for and assisting them in successful re-entry upon release. If this is something that interests you, please contact Norma Baas.

Welcome to Bethel Church!

We are thankful that you are here this morning. We look forward to the opportunity to worship God together. This morning we install deacons for their terms of service.

We again thank God for providing leaders at church. We will also have the opportunity today to celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in which we

remember the saving work of Jesus. We pray that you will be filled with God’s strength and joy as we worship together.
