This is the Third Sunday of the church Season after Pentecost, the second Sunday of June, in this last month of pastor Ralph's appointment to serve at Bethel. The traditional Second Sunday dinner after the service is being moved to the Last Sunday of June for this occasion.
In both services pastor Ralph delivers the message: Lord of the Harvest and, in this online service, continues the series of lessons from the Bible with thoughts on the Book of Mark.
On the resource page, the second service plan of the UDM supplied worship series, "Forming a Family/Preparing a People", presents the topic: "A Miracle Called Laughter".
"Move-in" day for the new pastor, Ellie Fox, is to be tomorrow...at least that is when the furniture is to arrive...Ellie is to be here the next day. Betty and I hope to be able to join with you next Sunday.

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 06/14/26 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.
