We are livestreaming ourworship on Sunday morning. You can find our service live on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.
We welcome your masked OR unmasked faces to worship…no judgment on the option that works best for you. You can Give Online using the link above. We offer Communion by intinction as well as still offering the option of receiving Communion using individual pre-packaged elements. Nursery is also available.
If you are not feeling well, or if you have had a known exposure to Covid, we ask that you join us virtually.
To make your offering online, scan the QR code and create your account.
You can access different Bible translations at Bible Gateway: https://www.biblegateway.com/
Kids in first to fifth grades will be meeting in the hall for their class, but will begin worship with the congregation in the Sanctuary. If you have a child in elementary school, we ask that they go with you to the Sanctuary, as opposed to beginning their morning in the Nursery.
Bethesda Choir
Choir will meet at 9:30 am in the choir room for practice. Join us as we praise God through song!
Our Sunday morning tech team could use a few more volunteers! Please let Mika know if you are open to learning how to run the sound and powerpoint, or if you are interested in learning our livestream process. I bet it’s easier than you think
We’ll be offering a Membership Sunday opportunity this fall. If you haven’t officially joined our congregation yet but are interested, please let with Pastor Nancee or Mika know.
On Sunday, October 13th, we’ll have a short congregational meeting in the Sanctuary following Worship and prior to 2nd Sunday Social to vote on our Charge Conference documents.
Unfortunately, due to the forecasted weather conditions we decided to cancel the picnic.
We’ll celebrate with an indoor picnic on Sunday, October 13th during our Second Sunday Social. If you were planning on bringing something with you on Sunday afternoon, we would appreciate it if you would contribute it to our October 13th fellowship.

Our Friday food distribution will be on Friday, October 25th, starting at noon. Volunteers of all ages are welcome at the distribution, or at the Pack and Pray on Wednesday, October 23rd – noon at Asbury UMC in New Castle. We’re collecting cans of tuna or chicken to supplement our bags this month!
Get involved; Volunteer opportunities are always available at BUMC! On Sunday mornings, there’s always an opportunity to serve with our Audio Visual Team, assist with serving Communion, use your smile as a greeter, donate our altar flowers, sing in the choir, or play with our youngest friends in the Nursery or Sunday school. If you’re short on time, commit to volunteering once a month with our team at Our Daily Bread & The HOPP Pack & Pray and Food Distribution. Please contact Mika if you have questions. Experience is not needed and training is available.
Our Little Library on our sidewalk is always accepting non-perishable donations of food- just place your donation directly into the Little Library and know that our neighbors are grateful!
If you would like to donate altar flowers in honor of or in memory of someone on a Sunday morning, or just to honor God, please let Mika know. Flowers are $50, and we just need to know the date that you would like to give them, if there is a specific flower you would like, and what you are giving them for – Mika will handle everything else for you. If you do not take the flowers after worship they will either be used again or taken to one of our shut-ins so they can enjoy them. mikab@bethesdaumcde.org
