LAST WEEK’S INVITATION TO PRAYER: Thank you for praying this past week as the Governing Elders met to discuss our church’s mission and vision. GE sees the next month as an important time of ongoing discernment and reflection with the rest of Council. In the Fall, we are planning a process for the church to review what it means to belong to Bethel, especially as it relates to our mission and direction. We welcome your continued prayers and participation in God’s kingdom work.

THANK YOU!!: The Summer Interns and Selikke would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our amazing Kids Camp volunteers and everyone who generously donated supplies. Without your support, there would be no camp!
Because of your time, generosity, and dedication, we’ve witnessed countless smiles, laughter, and, most importantly, a newfound love for Jesus in the hearts of these kids.
Your efforts truly make a difference in their lives and have helped impact them for the better. We are so grateful for every one of you and everything you have done to make this camp possible.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

BETTESU UNIFORM DRIVE: This drive will continue until all students have been sponsored.  Thank you for your faithful support as we continue our 11th annual Bettesu Uniform Drive for the children of Bettesu and the surrounding villages. We are praying for another great response this coming Sunday as we work toward sponsoring every child.
A gift of $50 provides one child with a school uniform, essential school supplies, and teacher instructional materials for the entire school year. Your generosity is a tremendous blessing to families who would otherwise struggle to provide these necessities. You can give online by clicking here, or sending an e-transfer to accounting@discoverbethel.com (please note Bettesu Uniform Drive in the memo box).  If you give online or by e-transfer, please stop by the sponsor table at the back of the sanctuary and let John or Marci know so the sponsorship list can be updated.
Thank you again for your generosity, prayers, and continued support. Together, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of these children.
John & Marci
