Join author Margaret Feinberg in a joy-filled, fresh study of the book of the Bible that sounds more like Jesus than any other letter in the New Testament.

Better: A Study of Hebrews
Class is FULL
Mondays 6 pm
September 23-November 25
Room 112
Led by Teri Verduyn
In this verse-by-verse study of the Book of Hebrews, Jen Wilkin explores how God “provided something better for us” in the person of Jesus Christ (Heb. 11:40). Through stories of Old Testament heroes and practices, the author of Hebrews demonstrates how the new covenant is superior to the old and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every promise. Explore familiar verses in context of the entire Bible, learning how to place your hope and faith in Christ alone. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com.
Tuesdays
Growing Older & Wiser
Class is FULL
Tuesdays 9:30 am
September 24-November 19
Room C
Led by Aida Laughlin
We can look at ourselves today and easily see that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean growing wiser. So, how does God transform our life experiences into wisdom? In a culture which idolizes youth, how do we know when to listen to the younger generation and when to follow the old ways? We are looking forward to good discussions of these questions and more as we study how to move forward with purpose and joy as we grow older. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30 am.
Care & Prayer
Tuesdays 9:30 am
September 24-November 19
Room A
Led by Loree Veith
A licensed counselor will lead a group designed to deepen relationships with others and with God. Together we will develop a vulnerable safe space and encourage one another along the way, even in the midst of our messy lives. We will use the Bible as text with no prep necessary. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30am
Hosea
Class is FULL
Tuesdays 9:30 am
September 24-November 19
Room E
Led by Stephani Karges
In this study by Jennifer Rothschild, be amazed by the love of Hosea for his wayward spouse—and more amazed by the unfailing love of God for His wayward people, and for all people. Hosea showers us with hope—hints and portents pointing to the coming of the promised Messiah. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30am.
Doctrine Study
Tuesdays 9:30 am
September 24-November 19
Room B
Led by Tracy Sortland
In this study, we will take a deep look at key biblical doctrines. God intends us to know what the Bible teaches in such a practical and gritty way that the way we think and live are transformed. Will you join us on this journey of learning the central teachings of Scripture? Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30am.
Book of Revelation
Class is FULL
Tuesdays 9:30 am
September 24-November 19
Room 112
Led by Marlene Sahr
Many of us don’t feel equipped to read or study the book of Revelation. It’s full of wild imagery, confusing numbers, vague time references, strange visions and unclear future events. Even so, the ending is a happy one – filled with hope. This in-depth study of the book of Revelation will help lift the veil of confusion. Registration is available online or by contacting Heather at 701.232.4476 or heathernelson@bethelfc.com. Please join us for The Gathering (breakfast/coffee/teaching) in the FLC from 9-9:30am.

The Armor of God
Tuesdays 6:30 pm
September 24-November 19
Room C
Led by Melissa Haugrud
As a follower of Jesus, you are in an invisible war every day. It’s unseen and unheard, but it affects everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, and so much more. Jesus has not left you unarmed! Dig into The Armor of God in Ephesians 6 to see how this is not just an inventory of items but an action plan for putting it on, turning challenges and discouragement into opportunities for prayer, and growing individually/corporately in purposeful prayer.

Opportunities to Serve
Bethel Women is in need of Tuesday AM volunteers to help with our children’s program, which coincides with our MOMs group. No teaching or prep time is required! The group meets every Tuesday during the school year from 9-11am. We need weekly helpers and substitutes. We want to allow our mothers the time and space to breathe, read God’s word, and fellowship with other moms. In order for that to be possible, we need volunteers to help with the children. If this sounds like an opportunity God may be calling you to, please reach out to AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com
Leadership Recruitment and Training Bethel Women invites you to come alongside us for the upcoming ministry season. Are you being called to lead a group, pray with women, work with children, serve in a hospitality role, or help with events? Let us know! For more info, contact AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com.
