3rd Sunday of Easter
April 26, 2020
| Pastor: Ralph Wrightstone | BULLETIN | Music Director: Travis Oaks |
While listening to Bethel's Sunrise Service on a cool Easter morning, we saw some surprise visitors outside our back fence. Next day we were treated to a magnificent sunset...later that week we watched young birds hopping around...and this week, we had late opening Easter lillies...all within a few steps of our "shelter". Which brought to mind "Easter Eggs"...not that kind...but the ones that are described as "objects, images or messages hidden in a video game, movie or other medium". I've come to think of those "surprise happenings" that bring a smile of joy, as "Easter Eggs" scattered by God in our lives with the message that He loves and cares for each of us. Happy Easter Egg gathering during this Season of Easter, and after.
A new service will be available here before 10:00 am each Sunday so you may "gather" for an Early Service at 10:00 or the traditional service at 11:00 ...actually it will be available here at any time all week. We hope that you will find it a refreshing place to come into God's house.
NOTE: Each part of the service consists of an audio file and, for most, a Link to a pdf file of "projection slides". Click on the
symbol to play the audio file under a separate browser tab or in a new window. Then select the "Bethel April 26,2020 Service" browser tab or return to this window to open the Link to the "slides". It is best to stop the playing of one Audio segment and close its tab or window before starting another.
