TODAY
The SACRAMENT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER will be observed during morning worship. Anyone who has been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and who is trusting in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is welcome to partake. For children who have not yet publicly professed their faith, Bethel's practice is to allow them to participate, if in the judgment of their parents, they understand that Jesus died for their sins.
