What we believe...

What do we believe?

Every person in the faith community has their own personal relationship with God and lives their lives according to that relationship and shares their faith journey with the Bethel community with service, prayer and joy!

As a faith community we do our best to model Jesus.
Jesus welcomed everyone - So do we!
Jesus served everyone - So do we!
Jesus says the two greatest commandments are:
    Love God before all else and Love your neighbor
And with God’s help
We do our best!

"As We Forgive" September 30 & World Communion Sunday, October 2

THIS FRIDAY - September 30!!   As We Forgive, a documentary viewing - Friday, September 30th, 5:30pm potluck, 6:30 pm documentary.    Could you forgive a person who murdered your family? This is the question faced by the subjects of As We Forgive, a documentary about Rosaria and Chantal—two Rwandan women coming face-to-face with the men who slaughtered their families during the 1994 genocide. The subjects of As We Forgive speak for a nation still wracked by the grief of a genocide that killed one in eight Rwandans in 1994. Overwhelmed by an enormous backlog of court cases, the government has returned over 50,000 genocide perpetrators back to the very communities they helped to destroy. Without the hope of full justice, Rwanda has turned to a new solution: Reconciliation. But can it be done? Can survivors truly forgive the killers who destroyed their families? Can the government expect this from its people? And can the church, which failed at moral leadership during the genocide, fit into the process of reconciliation today? In As We Forgive, director Laura Waters Hinson and narrator Mia Farrow explore these topics through the lives of four neighbors once caught in opposite tides of a genocidal bloodbath, and their extraordinary journey from death to life through forgiveness. Join us on Friday, September 30th at 5:30pm for a potluck and 6:30pm for a viewing of As We Forgive. WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY - October 2 10AM Please bring bread of different cultures to share at the Communion Table and Potluck! POTLUCK right after Worship!  Bring your favorite food to share! Special Offering will be taken for the building fund of the Ngaoundrere Presbyterian Church in Cameroon.
