Palm Sunday
April 5, 2020
| BULLETIN | Pastor: Ralph Wrightstone |
Welcome (again?) to Bethel UMC's site for online worship. With the continuing restrictions on gathering caused by the coronavirus, this is to fulfill a commitment made to provide a place for congregants to come together "virtually" at 11:00 each Sunday morning for a time of spiritual communion. We have attempted to design it to follow Bethel's common service, providing you opportunities to interactively participate. A new service will be available 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 Palm Sunday 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.
