Sunday Morning Worship Service

TO OUR GUESTS – During the next months (likely until at least the end of 2008), as our campus renovation project takes place, we will be sharing facilities and services with our next-door neighbors - Kingston United Methodist Church. The bulletin you see here nearly every week will reflect the congregations' combined Sunday service and the announcements (when available) that are related to Bethel.

Opening Prayer   Kate Compston

Lord Jesus, Rabbi, Teacher,thank you for reminding us that until we bring our darkness
we cannot know your light;
that until we become servants of truth
we cannot become wise leaders;

that until we become willing, lifelong learners
we cannot teach with insight or enthusiasm;
that until we are ready to be reborn
we cannot truly mature. Amen.

SERVICES OF ECUMENICAL WORSHIP

KINGSTON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

and

BETHEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

~ two communities of faith coming together,
for fellowship, study and service . . .
seeking God’s peace, justice and love ~

“Wherever we taste the truth God is there” St. Augustine

TO OUR GUESTS, we extend a warm welcome from Kingston United Methodist and Bethel Presbyterian Churches. We have covenanted together for 2008 to share in worship, fellowship, study and service. We invite you to participate in signing the Friendship Folders (Green for Methodist – Blue for Presbyterian), adding your address and phone number and please note if you would like to receive a church newsletter or a pastoral call. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we say “sins…sin against us” rather than “debts...” or “trespasses…”; prayer requests can be noted on the cards provided in the pew racks, please put those in the offering plates and both churches will be notified of your request. A team of Pastors will be available to pray with you after worship (in the front chancel area). We are glad you are with us. Please worship with us again!

Wheelchair Access into KUMC

For anyone needing wheelchair access into the KUMC sanctuary or rooms on the sanctuary level, a ramp is available on the Kentucky Street side of the main church building, along with multiple handicapped parking spaces. Once you go up the ramp and into the side door, enter the hallway, then turn left, and you will enter near the front of the sanctuary. For events in the fellowship hall, the driveway between the sanctuary building and the parsonage goes around to the rear of the fellowship hall and a ground level entrance; there are parking spaces, several of which are marked handicapped parking.
