OUR CHURCH FAMILYPlease remember our church family in your daily prayers, at mealtimes and during your personal devotions. Remember those who are unable to worship regularly with us: Jennie Bajema and Bill Wildeboer. Pray also for those who struggle in silence with ongoing physical, spiritual, and emotional issues. Continue to pray for our missionaries around the world, Diana Boot, Margaret Njuguna, Albert & Carolyn Strydhorst and John & Marian VanderMeer. Dear Bethel Family: We would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all of our church community, whom we consider to be our family. We have been profoundly touched by all of your love and support. You have fed us and cared for us in so many ways, including beautiful flowers, acts of service and loving messages, and most importantly, you have spoken to our Heavenly Father on our behalf and for that we are eternally grateful. We know that Travis is safely with his Lord and Savior and that we will all be together again someday. With deepest gratitude, Bernie & Teresa, Megan (Jess), Bowen & Rebekah (Gresham & Briar) Jayden & Brittany (Kalla), Taylor, Femmie and Shirley. A question has been asked as to why you need to sign an attendance form if you worship in person. Answer: If there is an issue with a possible COVID-19 transmission, on a specific date, the government will request this information to phone those in attendance of the possible transmission. The records are locked in the church office ready if the Alberta Government requests the information. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dana during office hours.

THE PERSECTUED CHURCHVietnam:Pray for Ose and his son and daughter who came to know Christ two years ago. Accepting Christ has caused them to distance themselves away from the worship of ancestors and other traditions of their community. Since Ose's mother died, they have been under extreme pressure to worship her. Please pray for this family, for God's wisdom and for their persecutors.
