Lent 2012

We will be focusing on the Shema during Lent.  Each Wednesday we will focus on loving God with all our Heart, all our Soul, all our Mind, and all our strength.   You can choose either the 11:30 a.m. service followed by a soup luncheon or the 6:30 p.m. service which is preceded with a soup supper from 5:30 – 6:30 each week.  For more details, check out our Lent 2012 Brochure by clicking on this link: http://bethelnorthfield.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Lent-2012-Brochure_2.pdf

Feb. 25th – Adult Retreat at Mt. Olivet: Sharing Your Spiritual Legacy

Sharing Your Spiritual Legacy
Sat., Feb. 25, 2012
8:30 am—5 pm
Mt. Olivet Retreat Center
Cost: $35 (includes lunch, morning & afternoon snacks)

What will be your spiritual legacy? 

Presenter Judy Young, a nationally certified Legacy Writing Facilitator, will introduce partipants to the spiritual practice of legacy writing and use a variety of exercises to encourage the expression of beliefs, values and blessings to future generations. Legacy writing may lead you to write a Spiritual Ethical Will, an affirmation letter to a child or simply become a practice you continue to enjoy in private.  This is not a creative writing seminar, it is about heart work.   There will be free time in the afternoon to enjoy this beautiful setting by relax inside or hike/ski 5 miles of groomed trails.

Pick up a brochure at the Information Table or call the church office for more information.  Please register by Feb. 13.

 

 

7th Graders create Bethel Advertisements!

As a fun and useful project,  the 7th grade Sunday School class has put together three separate video advertisements highlighting Bethel ministries – Bible, Arts, Music (BAM), Bethel Sunday School, and Bethel Bistro.  These advertisements were pre-released on Bethel’s Facebook sites, but now you can view them here!  Click on the links to view their work, and send them to others to inform and invite!
