This Week At Bethel February 14, 2025 This Sunday Church Family News Announcements Community News Calendar Bulletin Archive This Sunday This Sunday we continue our sermon series, Everyday Prayer by reflecting on how Jesus prays for the world. Jesus saw all the followers present with him and those yet to believe, interceding for them to his father. The essence of this prayer is that those who follow him in truth would be one. As divided as our world is today, Jesus continues to pray for unity within the church so that its mission may continue to bring glory to God and extends God’s goodness throughout the world. The message this Sunday will focus on John 17:20-26, "Jesus Prays—for the World” Following the message, we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. For those attending in-person, we will pass around the elements with plates and baskets. When you receive them, please wait to eat and drink together at the same time. We welcome you to use the time for singing, prayer and reflection. Gluten-free bread is available for those who desire this option. Also, you may leave the disposable cups in the pews to be collected later. For everyone online, please have communion elements ready at home (bread, juice/wine) to join with us in sharing the meal. You can partake of the elements at home while they are being served in the sanctuary. We look forward to celebrating Christ’s meal of grace with you Sunday. Please prepare you hearts for this time of remembrance and celebration in light of our forgiveness through the cross.

A key factor in fulfilling that mission relies on the many different people who serve in our church. Within that group are the church leaders (Elders and Deacons). Each year, a number of these leaders finish their terms and need to be replaced. That is where you come in. We need you to prayerfully consider who you think would make good, Christ-centered leaders for these different roles. To nominate someone, please send us an email with their name to clerk@discoverbethel.com . The individual you nominate must be a professing member of Bethel.

Back To Top Community News: VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY : One of our community families is looking for respite childcare assistance. Mom is a stay-at-home mom and dad is working full time. Their children include a set of twins, age 11 months, and a 4 year old. The family relies on public transportation. Mom has Cerebral Palsy and a vision impairment, limiting her mobility making daily tasks and looking after the children a struggle. She also has to bring the 4 year old to the school bus which takes a lot of effort and time. This family’s E4C support worker is reaching out to Bethel Church to see if someone could help out later in the morning for about 2-3 hours for respite care while mom is at home. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please reach out to Monika from E4C at 780-554-3676. Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands: May 2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands. To commemorate this historic and most significant event in Dutch history (and the personal history of so many immigrants and their descendants), the Canadian Military and the Dutch Community will honour this significant milestone with a planned commemoration that will take place on Sunday, May 4th. It will be preceded by a Church Service at 10:30 am at Holy Trinity Anglican, followed by a short march/walk to South Alberta Light Horse Park in Old Strathcona where the actual ceremony will take place. The 80th anniversary, as a major commemoration, will be the last time actual living soldiers who were part of the Canadian army, will be in attendance. The few that are left are now 100 years of age or older. Also, those who were liberated are now in their late 80’s or in their 90s. Thus, it will close a chapter of living history. Please consider attending. HOPE MISSION COLD HANDS WARM HEARTS WALK Winter in Edmonton is tough, especially for those without food or shelter.
