Lenten Devotion
2026-03-25 17:30 - 20:00 UTC
God Bless Our Lenten Time The Church Season of Lent offers the Christian an opportunity for a special encounter with ourselves and with Jesus. It’s purpose is to lead to repentance and renewed trust in Him. This is good, since repentance and renewed faith are vital as we prepare to receive the Good News which Holy Week and Easter will bring us. Accordingly, we seek this self- examination which comes through the application of the Word of God to our hearts and lives. We allow that Word to show us our sinful condition and need. God’s Gospel offers us God’s plan to remove our sin: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29. It also works to empower us to live our lives for Him and with Him. It is in the Word that God speaks to is of His gracious forgiveness. It is in the Word He calls us to Himself. It is in His Word we hear most clearly every promise. Listen to the Word and make this the most blessed Lenten season yet.
Lenten Devotions are services held every Wednesday during Lent, February 18th, 25th & March 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th.
We begin the Lenten Devotions each Wednesday at noon & 6:45pm. We will have a meal that starts at 5:15pm. The cost of the meal is $5 per person or $20 for a family.
Meal Plan:
Mar. 25- Pot Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Rolls & Applesauce

Maundy Thursday
2026-04-02
Join us for Worship with Communion at Noon or 6:45 PM for Maundy Thursday.
Maundy 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.

Good Friday
2026-04-03
Bethel will hold worship services at Noon and 6:45 PM on Good Friday.
The 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.
