-2SUNDAY AT BETHEL
WELCOME to our Easter Sunday worship celebraƟon! Together we gather to celebrate the
resurrec on and reign of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We see His glory and His grace, as we
journey through Peter’s healing from the past, that can guide us in taking that journey ourselves.
A warm welcome to guests. We invite you to stay for refreshments we share together a er
the worship service. For more informaƟon about our church and its ministries please come to the
Welcome Centre. We invite you to fill in a Guest Card and place it in the oﬀering bag, or bring it to
the Welcome Centre to receive a welcome gi from Bethel.
NEXT WEEK we begin a new series – “Encountering Jesus in Mark.” The Gospel of Mark was the first
Gospel wri en about the life of Jesus, and portrays Jesus as complex and mysterious, yet easily
approached and compassionate. Looking at Jesus through the eyes of Mark can surprise and challenge
us, no ma er how long we have known Him, whether this is the first me you turn to the book of
Mark in the Bible, or the hundredth.
March 29 - Dynamic Youth Ministries: Dynamic Youth Ministries provides programs, curriculum,
materials, and training designed to bring children and youth into a living, dynamic rela onship with
Jesus Christ. In the 1960s, Cadets, GEMS, and Youth Unlimited joined together to form Dynamic Youth
Ministries to partner with churches in mee ng the unique needs of boys, girls, early teens, and high
school youth.
