The Gathering - Tuesday Mornings
1 Thessalonians - Homiletics Study
Tuesdays 9:30 AM
March 25 – April 29
Room B
Led by Tracy Sortland
Have you ever wanted to learn how to study the Bible, using only your Bible? Homiletics is a Bible study tool to help internalize a passage of Scripture and apply it to one’s life. It can also prepare you to teach the Bible to others. In this 5-week study of 1 Thessalonians, we will begin to learn the skill of breaking down a passage of Scripture into 5 parts, which has the potential to lead you into a deeper understanding of the Bible and a deeper relationship with God and the application of His Word.
Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30 AM.
Questions? Contact Heather at 701-232-4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com.

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
Leadership Recruitment and Training Bethel Women invites you to come alongside us for the upcoming ministry season. Are you being called to lead a group, pray with women, work with children, serve in a hospitality role, or help with events? Let us know! For more info, contact AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com.
