Advent - "Words for the Beginning" - Christmas Eve Family Service

  • Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This year we will celebrate the season of Advent with resource materials from A Sanctified Art. Our theme will be “Words for the Beginning”. Our Christmas Eve Family Service will celebrate the story of the nativity with music and fun for those young and old!

Advent is a season of endings and beginnings. As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year rushes in. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving—and yet, we feel the weight of many things coming to an end.

Given our polarized world, and in anticipation of continued anxiety regardless of the Election Day outcomes, we need the support of comforting messages.

“Words for the Beginning” will include these weekly themes
•    You Are a Blessing (Luke 1.26-38 and Isaiah 43.1-7)
•    We Can’t Go Alone (Ruth 1 and Ecclesiastes 4.9-12)
•    Do the Good that Is Yours to Do (Luke 3.7-16 and Isaiah 58.9b-12)
•    Hope Is Worth the Risk (Matthew 1.18-25 and Luke 1.46-55)
•    Love Knows Your Name (Luke 2.1-20 and Isaiah 9.6)
•    Don’t Forget to Laugh (Luke 2:10, Matthew 2:10, Isaiah 9:2-3, 
      Psalm 148, Psalm 126:1-3, Ecclesiastes 3:1) Texts of joy!
•    Epiphany – The Road Isn’t Straight (Matthew 2.1-12 and Isaiah 43.16-21)

In addition, we will be sharing artwork, music, and fellowship times that deepen these themes and prepare for and celebrate the gift of Christmas. 

Bethel UCC is one of the most vibrant and friendly churches in the Beaverton/Portland Oregon Area, an inclusive Christian congregation, welcoming and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, affirming their full participation in the life of the church.

Stewardship Series "Imagine Together" - Week 3

Stewardship Series "Imagine Together" - Week 3

  • Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Our Stewardship theme for this year is “Imagine Together.” This theme is grounded in our belief that God speaks to us through prophets of ages past and through visionaries and leaders today. God speaks in our hearts “with sighs too deep for human words” (Romans 8). And God speaks through spirited debate as we seek to discern the right thing to do. In all these ways, God stretches our imagination for what’s possible and what’s necessary. 


Together: God calls us into community. We follow Jesus as siblings in faith. United with other believers, we form a Christian movement living the way of Jesus. Faith is not a solitary life but one that brings our hearts close to others. As a statement of faith from the United Church of Canada affirms, “we are not alone; we live in God’s world.” 

The spiritual practice of generosity arises from imagining all that God calls us to do as a community. Our donations to our congregation make it possible to turn what we imagine into a reality. Through our annual commitments to our congregation, we imagine together all that we can do.

This fall our Sunday worship series is designed to lean into the roots and wings of our larger church family – The United Church of Christ. To stay grounded and hopeful in the anxious climate leading up to election day, we will rely on the network of relationships that we share with other progressive Christians. And keep our focus on the good we can do rather than being sabotaged by fear, anger or despair.

For years, the United Church of Christ has offered a worship planning calendar. Rather than having one overarching theme, the worship calendar lifts up the vast array of special needs within our diverse congregations. Here is a listing of annual special ministry needs: American Indian and United Samoan Ministries; Children’s Sabbath; World Communion (including the Neighbors in Need All Church offering); Disabilities and Access Sunday; UCC Higher Education Day and All Saints Sunday. We will be doing our own version of special ministry needs. Drawing from the UCC worship planning calendar.

Know that our gathering to worship on Sunday mornings will continue to be relevant, comforting, supportive and inspirational.

This fall our Sunday worship series is designed to lean into the roots and wings of our larger church family – The United Church of Christ. To stay grounded and hopeful in the anxious climate leading up to election day, we will rely on the network of relationships that we share with other progressive Christians. And keep our focus on the good we can do rather than being sabotaged by fear, anger or despair.

For years, the United Church of Christ has offered a worship planning calendar. Rather than having one overarching theme, the worship calendar lifts up the vast array of special needs within our diverse congregations. Here is a listing of annual special ministry needs: American Indian and United Samoan Ministries; Children’s Sabbath; World Communion (including the Neighbors in Need All Church offering); Disabilities and Access Sunday; UCC Higher Education Day and All Saints Sunday. We will be doing our own version of special ministry needs. Drawing from the UCC worship planning calendar.

Know that our gathering to worship on Sunday mornings will continue to be relevant, comforting, supportive and inspirational.

Bethel UCC is one of the most vibrant and friendly churches in the Beaverton/Portland Oregon Area, an inclusive Christian congregation, welcoming and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, affirming their full participation in the life of the church.
