March – May 2021

New Sermon SeriesBeginning with the first Sunday of Lent this year, Pastor Mike began a new series of messages on the Gospel of Mark.

2021 is the year of Mark in the lectionary, and throughout the year the entire gospel is the main focus for the gospel readings in liturgical churches across the world. Join us this Lent for a deep dive into the book of the Bible that was the very first written gospel.

Feb. 28: Healing the Dark SideMarch 7: Avoiding Food FightsMarch 14: Hidden in Plain SightMarch 21: Pushing the EnvelopeMarch 28: The Turning Point

The Way: The Book of Mark

If you have ever had a group of people to “do life” with, then you know how important and power-ful it can be. This year for the six weeks of Lent which began Feb.17, Bethel encourages all viewers, friends and members to become part of a Bethel-wide Small Group Bible Study. It is easy to catch up even though the Bible study is already under way. If you would like a study guide,

please contact Alice Mowbray at alicem@bethel-madison.org or 608-257-3577, Ext. 222.

The Bible study, Oh, the Things We See, written by Pastor Mike, focuses on the Gospel of Mark and is full of fun and learning. If you are already part of a group, a women’s circle, a men’s group or other, let Pastor Mike know: pastormikebrown@bethel-madison.org

Lent Bible Study: Oh, the Things We See

Join us on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. for the Lord’s Supper. Every Wednesday until we are able to celebrate in person, Pastor Mike will lead us in a live-streamedLord’s Supper on Bethel’s Face-

book page. Or you can watch any time after 8 p.m. on our YouTube channel. Everyone is asked to have wine/juice and bread ready for the evening’s communion.

Thursday contemplative scripture reading via ZoomJoin Pam Shellberg for a time of interactive, con- templative scripture reading. During each 45- minute period, we will read a passage from scrip-ture and reflect on it by way of the ancient practice of lectio divina. This involves engaging the scrip-ture with our minds, imaginations and hearts – along with good measures of silence and sharing. Links provided in the Thursday Daily Devotion email for joining this group. Send questions to Pam Shellberg at pam@bethel-madison.org.
