This Week At Bethel February 20, 2026 This Sunday Church Family News Announcements Community News Calendar Bulletin Archive This Sunday This Sunday, we begin a new sermon series for Lent, When the Word of the Lord Came , through Elijah’s prophetic ministry in 1 Kings. We catch up with God’s people to discover that evil has filled the land because of the poor and destructive leadership of unfaithful kings. King Ahab stands out in the history as one who “did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him” (1 Kings 16:30). In response to the prevalence of evil, the word of the Lord comes to challenge and call his people to repentance. We reflect on how God’s challenge to repent from evil in 1 Kings is a perfect invitation for us as we enter Lent, pursuing closeness with Jesus through prayer and fasting. The message this Sunday will focus on 1 Kings 16:29-34: “When Evil is Close.” For a book overview of 1-2 Kings from the BibleProject, please see our sermon series resources: here For the past messages of the series, subscribe and follow our podcast: discoverbethel.com/podcasts Following the message, we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. For those attending in-person, we will pass around the elements with plates and baskets. When you receive them, please wait to eat and drink together at the same time. We welcome you to use the time for singing, prayer and reflection. Gluten-free bread is available for those who desire this option. Also, you may leave the disposable cups in the pews to be collected later. For everyone online, please have communion elements ready at home (bread, juice/wine) to join with us in sharing the meal. You can partake of the elements at home while they are being served in the sanctuary. For parents with children who you would like to participate in the Lord’s Supper, there will be space for you to quickly check out your children in the lower level following the message We look forward to celebrating Christ’s meal of grace with you Sunday. Prepare your hearts for this time of remembrance and celebration in light of our forgiveness through the cross.

Also, please check our Lenten resources, such as a guide for fasting and a Lenten devotional from Christianity Today, visit discoverbethel.com/resources NOMINATIONS FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS: With the start of a new year, it's a good time to think about Bethel's mission. A key factor in fulfilling that mission relies on the many different people who serve in our church. Within that group are the church leaders, our Council comprised of Elders and Deacons. Each year, a number of these leaders finish their terms and need to be replaced. That is where you come in. We ask you to prayerfully consider who would make good, Christ-centered leaders for the different roles on Council: Governing Elder, Shepherding Elder and Deacons. As most of our Shepherding Elders are completing their terms this year, please pray for provision in this vital area of leadership. To nominate someone: • We recommend that you talk with the person you are discerning nominating so you can confirm that they are able and willing to prayerfully consider serving on Council • Please confirm they are a member of Bethel Community Church 3 • Please send us an email with their name to clerk@discoverbethel.com and a brief reason why you believe he or she is qualified to serve in this role If you have any questions about the nominations process and the expectations of these roles, please contact Arnold Groot (Governing Elder).
