SUMMARY:Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:Bethel will hold worship services at Noon and 6:45 PM on Good Friday. \nThe Good Friday services focus on the betrayal\, suffering\, crucifixion\, death\, and burial of Jesus. Our music and readings are fashioned to help us understand that the Christ\, the Son of God\, lies dead in the tomb. We exit in silence on Good Friday\, mourning as the first followers of Jesus did on that first Good Friday.

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Worship with Communion at Noon or 6:45 PM for Maundy Thursday. \nMaundy Thursday centers on the Lord’s Supper and how Jesus’ last supper promises hope in the midst of sorrow. We will celebrate Holy Communion together at both the noon and 6:45 p.m. services\, concluding worship with the reading of the walk to the Garden of Gethsemane and the approach of the crowd led by Judas. In the Maundy Thursday evening service after this final reading the altar is striped and every decoration removed from the chancel [area around the altar]. This is an extremely moving event as we realize that our Lord’s suffering is reflected in the removal of our banners\, candles\, and Communion ware.

It is a very simple service held in the east end of our parking lot. Our focus at Easter Dawn is the stunning miracle of Christ’s resurrection and what it was like for the women to find the empty tomb. We do celebrate the Lord’s Supper outside and at the conclusion of the SonRise service we exit to the parish hall for Easter breakfast. \nSonRise Breakfast:\nAll Bethel members and visitors are invited to share the joy of the Risen Lord together at our annual Easter Breakfast. Everyone is encouraged to stay for a delicious breakfast and great fellowship following the Sonrise Worship Service. Coffee and juice will be provided.

After the reading of the resurrection story\, the altar is redecorated with banners\, lilies\, and the Lord’s Supper is brought in procession. The focus of the Celebration service is the impact of Christ’s resurrection in our lives. The music at Easter Celebration is the very best we enjoy all year\, as our music staff pulls out all the stops that day. We also conclude this service by celebrating the Lord’s Supper and singing “At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing!” Our Easter morning services are very different\, both having different hymns and different readings and sermons.
