On this Sixth Sunday after Epiphany, pastor Ralph and Judy are away and Bobby Walker, a certified Lay minister from Lamont, will be leading the church service with a message: "Do You Remember?". If you are able and have time we hope you will try to attend that service.
Pastor Ralph did prepare this online service for those who are not able to attend the church service or have become accustomed to visiting this alternate service. His message for this service, "The Light of Christ", is not part of the Jesus is Friend series which will be continued both here and in the church service next week.
On the Resource Page of this service, the UDM supplied worship series:"Glory Revealed" concludes with a message for this Transfiguration Sunday.
The liturgical "Season of Lent" will begin on Wednesday this week..."Ash Wednesday". Although we are not having a service in the church that day, we have prepared an online "Ash Wednesday Service" for you using UDM supplied material.

For those unable to attend the 11:00 AM Sunday services at the church, a new service will be available here online before 10:00 am each Sunday morning, using the same format as the on-site service. So you may "gather" here 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 this online 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 02/15/26 Service" browser tab or return to this window to open the Link to the "slides". Use your browser's back/return arrow to come back to this page from the slides. It is best to close the tab or window of an audio file before starting to play another.
We hope that you will fully participate in the service provided here, taking the time to raise your voice or read along with the hymns and responses, and listening to the recorded messages and songs that have been prepared for you. Realize that, though not meeting face-to-face, you are virtually gathering with many others for this time of worship, celebration and spiritual refreshment.
