Mission Trip Fundraiser – Mary Glaser will be travelling with a group of 21 people from Bethel Church, Rochester, MN on a mission trip to their sister congregation at Cristo Rey in Puerto Rico from June 25-July 2. This will be Bethel’s fourth trip to this tiny island in the Caribbean, and first since 2019. In between, other perspective mission trips have been shut down by the pandemic. We’ll be working at Divina Salvador Church, repairing, replacing, painting and power washing different areas of the church and parsonage. On the weekend we will be participating in activities and worship at Cristo Rey. We are seeking donations to help pay for supplies and lodging. Mary will be serving coffee after service on April 28th, May 12th, and May 26th. The coffee donations will go to the Bethel Mission trip. A donation can also be left in the office. Thank you for your support and prayers for this trip.
*Senior Recognition Sunday – Graduating high school seniors will be celebrated in worship on Sunday, May 19. Christ Crafters will share a personalized blanket with each of them, parents and seniors will receive a blessing, and everyone is invited to enjoy cake and coffee following worship. Come and share a prayer as they transition into new adventures.
