Bethel Life Event List--March, 2024

Steven Schetrom • Mar 04, 2024

Please Join Us For These Exciting Events In March

March is an exciting month at Bethel Life Church, and we have many exciting events planned, which you are invited to participate in. First, on MARCH 15TH, we have a MOVIE NIGHT planned. We will be showing "The Boys In The Boat." This movie is based on the great true story of the members of the University of Washington rowing team, who were thrust into the spotlight as they competed for gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. This all happened during the height of the Great Depression, no less!


Doors will open at 6PM, and the movie will begin at 6:30PM. We will have snacks available. Please come join us for this Movie Night.


On MARCH 24TH, at 10:30AM, we have an exciting service planned at Bethel Life Church. David Koff will be the Guest Worship Leader for that service. David is a very talented musician and vocalist, and you will not be disappointed upon hearing him lead worship. Additionally, Jim Wratchford will be sharing his testimony during this Morning Worship Service. Jim has an amazing testimony! Some years ago, he had a heart attack and flatlined three times while being taken to Winchester Medical Center. God worked miraculously, and Jim lives to give his testimony of the powerful work of God in his life.


On Saturday, MARCH 30TH, at 2PM, we will be hosting an EASTER EGG HUNT at the church. This will be a great event for the kids. During this event, we will also have a BAKE SALE sponsored by our Women's Ministry, as well as a FAMILY PHOTO BOOTH. Please join us for this event!


SUNDAY, MARCH 31ST, is Easter this year. We will begin the day with a SUNRISE SERVICE at 7AM. Following that, we will have our EASTER SERVICE at 10:30AM. This exciting service will feature worship led by the Bethel Worship Team, a presentation by an Acting Major from Shenandoah University, a presentation by our Youth Group, and a Sermon by Pastor Steven Schetrom.


Finally, on APRIL 7TH, we will have a SEDER MEAL at 10:30AM for our regular Sunday Morning Worship Service. This will be our Third Annual Seder Meal. This year, we will have the meal in our Main Sanctuary, as we ran out of room in our Fellowship Hall last year during this event.


All are welcome to attend these events. We would love to see you!

Why Relaunch?

By Steven Schetrom • 03 Apr, 2023
We had a very successful Relaunch Service yesterday. This service was made possible by years of work by our Leadership Team and Congregation. We believe it is imperative that we continue to move forward in these efforts. The reasoning behind our relaunch effort is expressed below, in the Executive Summary of our Five-Year Strategic Plan. Bethel Assembly of God believes that worldwide events over the last couple of years warrant the establishment of a re-launch effort. The culture in which the church exists is experiencing a rapid decline, with many experiencing confusion regarding the correct posture of the church in the world. The proposed re-launch effort will help clarify the church’s position related to its members as well as the broader community. The re-launch effort will be made up of key components. These include: 1) A new Mission Statement; 2) A five year Strategic Plan; 3) The establishment of Key Measurables which will provide a Feedback Loop so that ongoing and regular adjustments can be made. These components will provide value to the organization. First, they will inform both current and prospective members about where the church has actively chosen to place its attention, resources, and focus over the next five years. Second, they will allow for new members to more readily see how they can contribute to the church’s mission, as focus areas will be highlighted continuously. Finally, they will allow decision-makers to more easily evaluate the viability of all ministry ideas that come before them. If a proposed idea doesn’t pass inspection when evaluated against the Strategic Plan, it will need to be dismissed, at least in the near term. The commencement of the re-launch effort is immensely important to the long-term viability of Bethel Assembly of God. This ongoing effort will force the organization, in a positive way, to become a more lean and well-run organization, and will lead to long-term health and vitality. To see our complete Five-Year Strategic Plan, please visit here . Please consider joining our congregation, to work together with us to impact our community, nation, and world. Blessings to you and yours!

Breakfast, Book, and Bible Club --Wednesday, October 27 Follow-Up

By Steven Schetrom • 27 Oct, 2022
We host a Breakfast, Book, and Bible Club meeting in our church Fellowship Hall every Wednesday morning at 9am. We try to limit the meeting to one hour in length. The food is great at these meetings, and the discussions make attendance worthwhile. Everyone is invited to attend. We would love to see you at our next meeting! Currently, we are discussing a book called " Signs ," by Dr. David Jeremiah. This past Wednesday, the focus was on Chapter 6 of the book, which highlights materialism as a cultural sign at the end of the age. One key verse pinpointed in the chapter was Matthew 6:21 , where Jesus says that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." The word choice used by Jesus is very interesting here. Notice he does not say that you should set your heart on something, and that your treasure will follow your heart. Instead, he insists that our actions can be used to indicate our treasure , and that our heart will naturally follow our actions. This idea is more thoroughly discussed within an article called " The Fatal Failures of Religion: #4 Materialism ," where the author says "(t)he first principle undergirding the precept just put forth is found in verse 21: 'For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.' Generally we are inclined to think just the reverse of this. We suppose that a man will first fix his heart on something and then his money naturally follows. But our Lord says that our heart follows our pocketbook. If I were to buy an old broken down car it would not at that point be a great object of my affection. But after I had spent countless hours in restoring it, not to mention a good deal of money, it would be the ‘apple of my eye.’ Where we spend our money, where we appropriate our material goods and our personal time, is where our heart will be. I might go so far as to apply this principle to marriage. To the extent that we invest heavily, both in time and money, we will find our affections more and more developed and committed." So, what is the lesson for us in this? If your heart has just not been right recently, try taking correct actions and allowing your heart to follow the lead of your actions. This will require discipline on your part, but just may help you get back on track. Please leave comments, and let us know your thoughts. #bethellife #webuildpeople
