| Let the bells ring, let the rockets soar, let the flags fly! It was 246 years ago that we declared our independence and began to forge a new nation, holding freedom as one of our highest values. Freedom of Religion is often considered the “first freedom” since it is mentioned first in the Bill of Rights, and I cannot think of a better way to celebrate this summer season than by exercising our right to freely worship our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us today for our First Annual Faith & Freedom Service in the sanctuary at 11:00 a.m.! We invite you to wear red, white and blue, join us in singing patriotic hymns, and celebrate the freedom we have through faith in Christ. Please invite a friend, family member or neighbor to join you in worship. They will be glad you did. We also offer Sunday School for all ages at 10:00 a.m. in the Education building. *The CDC raised the community risk level in Richland County to high. Masks are recommended for all persons while inside our buildings, regardless of vaccination status.* If you are unable to attend our in-person worship at Bethel today, we invite you to join us virtually via LIVE STREAM on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOPfIqRQ6Nt6B3-bxNyPJDA.
