Bethel 06/14/26 Service

The story of Abraham and Sarah is complex, full of twists and turns, great faith, and crippling fear. Through it all, it is a story about a family that struggles and learns to love in ways that could be an invitation to the whole world. It is a story about the people of God who want to follow, even when their wisdom falls short. It is a story about blessing, about receiving a blessing, and then being a blessing. We begin this season after Pentecost by thinking about the church and about these examples of faith as we consider forming a family and preparing a people.

This Service's Theme: "A Miracle Called Laughter"

What Abraham, Sarah, and a few holy detours teach us about laughter, attention, and God’s surprising grace.
