God calls the unlikely, the unqualified, the unwilling. “Who will go for us?” God asks. A person of unclean lips, a former persecutor of the church of God, and three fishermen who couldn’t catch a thing. More surprising still, perhaps, is that we are also called. YOU are also called.
Bethel joins a nationwide effort to collect food for the needy just before the annual NFL Super Bowl, the time many Food Pantries run short on supplies. From January 26 through February 9, bring your donations for the Muskego Food Pantry to church with you. Soups that help people stretch their food budgets include tomato, chicken noodle, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and chicken broth. Canned, dried and packaged soups are all accepted. *
*Cases of 12 packages of Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup can be found for under $4 at some groceries
Jesus reminds us that he comes to heal and save all people - including those who have been labeled and treated as outcasts and outsiders. And not everybody in his hometown synagogue is happy about that.
Leave the cooking to us and bring a friend or family member to Bethel's Senior Dinners. Join us on the second Tuesday of each month at 4:30 pm. Enjoy the companionship and a full dinner, including dessert and drinks. All are welcome; please make a reservation via Muskego Food Pantry at (262) 679-6448 with dinner count and name of party. After dinner at 6:00 pm, we offer optional evening worship to celebrate God's presence in our lives.
February's Noisy Can Collection is dedicated to the Repairers of the Breach, a homeless shelter and resource center in Milwaukee for homeless adults. Click the link below to learn more about this charity. Then, please bring your spare change to church on scheduled worship days or let us know you'd like to be part of helping others in small or unexpected ways via the Message Center (scroll down).

Bethel's "Noisy Can Collection" earns its name when you drop your spare change into a tin can and shake it, drawing our attention to community needs that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Listen to the word of God and grow in understanding of what it means to you, personally. Join Bethel on the second Saturday of each month from 10 to 11:30 am in a small group led by Pastor Jaime. Read, listen, talk and explore. We have extra bibles and wifi to google readings on your phone. Message us to let us know you're coming or drop in if you're in the neighborhood.
