Bethel UMC: The Worship Service

The schedule for Bethel services was altered during the period of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. All services at the church were discontinued, following UMC guidance, after March 22, 2020. A format was established for providing an online worship service of recorded and text messages each week. On May 3,2020 Bethel began "open-air" live services at the church following guidelines for "social distancing" and on May 31,2020, Pentecost Sunday, began a live 11:00 AM Sunday worship service inside the church under a COVID-19 Policy, developed from the CDC guidelines for church gatherings. An online service continued using the same format as the live service.
