SUMMER BETHEL STUDY “Listening to and Learning from the Prayers of Jesus” – “Jesus’ ministry on earth as a human was marked by a devotion to prayer. Through his prayer life, we see what it means to truly depend upon God.” As we read and ponder the prayers of Christ as recorded in the New Testament; we can learn to “imitate his example as we commune with our heavenly Father as adopted sons and daughters in Christ.” (The Prayers of Jesus, Mark Jones) Join us for five weeks this summer as we meditate on and learn from the prayers of Christ. We will meet on Wednesday mornings, 10:00 am til 12:00 noon on the following dates: July 10, July 17, July 24, July 31st, August 7.

Please let us know through the church website or by email at [email protected] if we may pray for you. Be assured that all requests will be held in confidence. CHILDREN TO WORSHIP WITH CHURCH FAMILY – Children’s Worship will be combined through the end of July. What a great opportunity for our children to worship together with the Body of Christ!

Please remind your child to get one. Children’s Worship will resume in August.

Jesus was a master story teller and his stories have captured the imagination of hearers since he first told them almost two thousand years ago. We will explore the parables found in Luke’s Gospel which contains some of Jesus’ most memorable stories. This series will give vlarity to the Gospel as Jesus explained it in his parables.
