NOVEMBER 1: INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

Did you know that around the world, more than 388 Million Christians experience persecution because of their faith in Jesus? On Sunday, November 1, Bethesda will be participating in the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. We’re setting aside time to intentionally remember and pray for our brothers and sisters worldwide who follow Jesus despite the cost.

​

NOVEMBER IS MISSIONS MONTH!

At Bethesda we set aside the month of November to highlight the work of those who are called to share the Gospel around the world. For this year’s theme Pastor Yuri has been inspired by a quote from Lesslie Newbigin (a missionary who wrote extensively about the role of the church in the modern world): “The mission of the church is missions, and the mission of missions is the church.” We will be featuring interviews and testimonies from Bethesda’s sponsored missionaries, and we will also remember them by collecting contributions for a Christmas love gift. Please plan to visit one of the back tables during the month of November and give generously!

​

NOVEMBER 14: HOSPITALITY TEAM TRAINING

We will be holding a training session for all members of our hospitality team on Saturday, November 14 from 1:00-2:30pm. All are welcome to attend: if you have been curious about joining the hospitality team, this is a great way to learn more and get involved!

WHERE IS GOD CALLING YOU SERVE?

You’ve probably noticed that God has been working in our church these past few years in all kinds of exciting ways! This July and August we have had our strongest summer attendance in twenty years. While that’s not the most important measure of how God is working, it would still be wise (based on historical trends) to expect that we will be ministering to at least 25% more people this fall & winter than we did last year. This means that it is a thrilling time to be involved in ministry at Bethesda! But of course, it also means that we are going to need all hands on deck! To keep this momentum going, everyone who calls Bethesda their church home must be involved. This fall, I will be encouraging you to think about the gifts that God has given you and where they fit in with the needs of his church. If you aren’t serving yet—even if you are—why not start praying right now about how God wants YOU to bless his Body? 

–Pastor Yuri
