This Week At Bethel September 5, 2025 This Sunday Church Family News Announcements Community News Calendar Bulletin Archive This Sunday This Sunday, we start a new sermon series for the fall, Habits of the Church. The Book of Acts gives us a picture of a church alive with purpose, passion, and power, modeling six habits that shaped the early church: devotion to God’s Word, life-giving fellowship, the breaking of bread, powerful prayer, generosity and worshipful witness. These were not occasional activities but consistent rhythms that formed a Spiritfilled community and made the gospel visible to the world. In this series, we’ll discover how these same habits can shape us today into a church that is committed to becoming like Christ and sharing Him with others. The message this Sunday will focus on Acts 2:42-47 and Colossians 3:15-17, “To the Apostles’ Teaching.” Each week we’ll include notes and resources for “what to do next” related to the habit of the week on the sermon resources page: here UPCOMING BAPTISM : Next Sunday, September 14, we will joyfully celebrate the sacrament of baptism with the BARR family as Doug and Cherie bring their son, Zach, to be baptized. Let us join together in prayer and support as this family takes this meaningful step of faith. Our Sunday Offerings: BETHEL MINISTRIES AND MISSION : The ministries and programs of Bethel ALPHA CANADA: : has created video programs that are an effective way to share the Good News of Jesus.

Announcements: BETTER TOGETHER LIBERIA - BETTESU STUDENT SPONSORSHIP: It is that time of year! Time to consider sponsoring a child to be able to attend school in Bettesu, Liberia. To cover the cost of inflation on uniforms and school supplies, this year’s donation per child is $50. John and/or Marci will be at the back of the sanctuary after the service to collect donations or you can go online and donate at discoverbether.org/give and choose Better Together Liberia from the drop-down menu. We are forever grateful for the generous support we receive from Bethel year after year! BETHEL MEALS MINISTRY: You know that feeling you get when someone brings you a meal to offer you support? Relief, gratitude, and knowing that you are seen and cared for is what meals ministry brings to Bethel families who are experiencing recovery from surgery, illness, the addition of new family members, a loss, or other big life moments. But this ministry needs your help. Our list of volunteers to make meals has been shrinking. You don't have to be a professional chef or a fancy cook to bring a meal. The process is simple: 1. Receive an email letting you know a Meal Train has been created (it is also posted in the Bethel Facebook group). There will be information about the size of the family and any food preferences as well as delivery time. 2. Select a date and sign up with your name and the dish you're bringing. 3. Deliver your meal on the day you selected, building community through this one simple act. Bethel Family, as you make supper throughout the next month, consider how hard would it be to double this meal and deliver it to a family who could use the boost? Email Laura at ljboskers@hotmail.com to get your name on the email list. A BIG COOK IS COMING! On Saturday, October 4th, starting at 1:00 p.m. to about 4:00 p.m., you are invited to join us in the lower level here at Bethel to prep some meals for the Bethel freezers for the Deacons and staff to have on hand when there is a church family or community need. All the ingredients will be provided, but we need your help to put them together into freezer meals, building community as you do so!
