“At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)

Mark 15:33-34

Bethel Activities and Ministries

In an effort to increase the CWC TRIP payout, which ultimately decreases the Education Ministries expense, the Deacons are offering members an opportunity to purchase gift cards at church. The Deacons will now offer same day purchase and pick up of TRIP for Kwik Trip and Piggly Wiggly cards. The goal is to provide Bethel members an easier option to buy some common TRIP and in return, reduce the church’s Education Ministry expense. The Deacons will be accepting cash or check (made out to Bethel CRC), so stop in the Deacon Office on Sundays to get your TRIP!! Any questions can be directed to the Deacons. Thank you for your continued support of this program!!
