TRUNK OR TREAT
AT BETHEL! You can participate by:
Bringing your trunk (and yourself) over to Bethel and hand out candy to trick or treaters from a safe distance. (Find out more and sign up here.) Bringing your trick or treater(s)! We are aiming for a safe but fun way to celebrate Halloween this year! Can't be here but want to help? Drop off treats in the east vestibule to add to the supply. Covid appropriate masks are required for everyone over 2 years old. Everyone is required to practice safe social distancing. Click here to find out more! |
Join us this weekend for Fireside Worship. Find a cozy spot in your home and join us for the worship service, online here. If you'd like to have the hymns in front of you, click here.
Alternatively, here is an archived traditional service from the eleventh Sunday after Pentecost. 
Revive! worship is back! This is a 30-minute casual worship service, with singing, a meditation, and prayer. All ages are welcome!
Join us every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on Bethel's YouTube channel. Not able to be there at on Wednesday nights? Recorded services will also be available on our YouTube channel. |

The draft Welcome Statement has now been added to the RIC Resource Page. The final survey to adopt the Welcome Statement has been emailed and mailed out to all voting members. This survey will gauge the level of support for adopting the Welcome Statement and Bethel thus becoming a registered RIC congregation. Please return your survey by November 1, 2020, prior to the next church council meeting.
Collected here are a number of the resources we’ve offered the congregation over the last nine months—from FAQs about the RIC process to notes from Greg Walter’s “Tricky Texts” Bible study to videos of our incredible speakers—it’s all here! We’ve also included some links to resources we hadn’t yet gotten around to sharing with you (but were recommended to us by organizations and LGBTQ+ allies and advocates). Although we’re physically apart, our journey toward the full welcome of our LGBTQ+ siblings continues! |
