Abide: Study of 1,2,3 John
Study is Full
New Bethel Women Study
Tuesdays 9:30 am
January 9-March 12
Room E
Led by Stephani Karges
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. In this 10-session Bible study, author Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or email heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30 am.

Led by Amy Hashbarger
In this online 4-week study written by Lysa Terkeurst, we will be guided through what it means to say “yes” to God.

There is incredible power in two words- yes and no – and simple, daily decisions can shape the story of our lives. Let’s take the time to slow down and rise above the rush of the world’s endless demands and trust that we can find true rest in the Lord.

Opportunities to Serve
Bethel Women is in need of Tuesday AM volunteers to help with our children’s program, which coincides with our MOMs group. No teaching or prep time is required! The group meets every Tuesday during the school year from 9-11am. We need weekly helpers and substitutes. We want to allow our mothers the time and space to breathe, read God’s word, and fellowship with other moms. In order for that to be possible, we need volunteers to help with the children. If this sounds like an opportunity God may be calling you to, please reach out to AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com
