Before leaving the house:

Prepare for worship.  So often we come to worship ready to receive from God and recharge our spiritual batteries.  These are good things, but they are not most important in our worship.  Worship is when we offer ourselves to God for His glory and service.  We can prepare our hearts by praying before going to church, confessing sin, listening to worship music, and reading the Bible. 

KREW for Kids.  At 9am KREW will continue to air live on Facebook for all children.  Encourage your children to participate, worship together, and study God’s Word together. 

Pack what you need.  You will need your Bible, song lyrics and outdoor chairs.  You will be able to sit as a family in your lawn chairs or remain in your car for worship.  Song lyrics are attached to the Outdoor Worship Guide.  Tents/umbrellas are welcome for shade, but there will be designated areas to keep the view of others clear. 

Plan to arrive early.  You will need time to park, unpack and set up your chairs.  Service will start at 10am, and its helpful if everyone is ready to begin together. 

When you arrive at Bethel:

Parking areas.  There will be designated areas for parking.  There will be parking attendants and greeters to help you park and answer your questions. 

Seating.  To maintain social distancing and safety there will be flags marking where each family can sit.  We ask that you respect others by keeping a safe distance and stay within these marked areas. 

Limit handshakes, hugs, and other physical contact.  It is important that we remain safe as we regather.  Please do not shake hands, give hugs, or other physical contact.  We will not have a printed worship guide. 

Offering.  You may continue to give to the gospel ministry online (www.lovingbethel.com).  We will collect offerings as part of our worship service for those who wish to give in person. 

After Outdoor Worship has ended: 

Dismiss safely.  Please continue to social distance but share love with one another as we dismiss. 

Family Sermon Guide.  You will find a Family Sermon Guide in the Outdoor Worship Guide
