The Changemakers - Week 1

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

Over the next four weeks, we will be exploring Jesus’ identity, and our own, as “changemakers.” We are inspired by The Changemaker Initiative, whose work is helping churches see that the work God is about these days is less about perfecting the church and more about changing the communities we live in. The problems in the world can be so overwhelming that we stop believing we can make a difference. But we can, if we change our own perception of what that looks like. We will discover that each one of us is called and equipped to make change. And this, my friends, is our true asset in the world. We, the people of the Body of Christ, have so much to give. We will reimagine together. 

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.

For the last weeks of summer, we are welcoming back our visiting Pastor, Reverend Linda Jaramillo, to help us continue this worship series, where will be exploring lesser-known Biblical characters. We are using A Sanctified Art series: Faces of Faith – Bold and Untold Stories.

From the series…

“There are many heroes of the faith, people we admire and wish to be. However, there are even more ordinary people of faith—those doing what they can with what they have to make a difference. This summer, we’ll dig deep into the bold and untold stories of those often overlooked in our biblical narratives, hoping these characters remind us that we all play a role in shaping God’s story of redemption and grace.”

Pentecost Sunday - "Celebrating Community"

  • Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ (map)

The United Church of Christ (UCC) honors Pentecost as a celebration of the Holy Spirit, and as the "birthday of the Church". Pentecost is a day to commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the early followers of Jesus, and the establishment of the church. The first Pentecost took place a few weeks after Jesus' death and resurrection, and is described in the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible's New Testament.

Traditionally, the church paraments (the cloths decorating the sanctuary) are red, the pastor wears red vestments (the stole), and the congregation wears red. All of that red reminds us that the Spirit has come to us, too, to empower us to tell and be the good news of Jesus.

For our Eastertide Series, Pastor David will be leading from a book by Luther Smith Jr. titled HOPE IS HERE! Spiritual Practices for Pursuing Justice and Beloved Community. Our lives today are in need of Hope, but not just wishful thinking or even optimism. It's the kind of hope that invites us to put spiritual practices into action.  In the next five weeks, we will learn through these spiritual practices and face the issues of our world with courage and compassion, and join in "the work of hope."

Easter Sunday - "Good Enough" Series Conclusion

  • Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ (map)

We discover the true blessing of Hope this Easter! This all-generational worship will celebrate Christ’s resurrection with special music, prayers and liturgy. Our sanctuary will be flooded with color from flowers given in honor or memory of loved ones. Our children and youth will once again have an opportunity to Flower the Cross inside. We invite you to come forward to the chancel and sing Handel’s "Hallelujah Chorus" to conclude worship.

Our worship series for the season of Lent is "Good Enough: Embracing the Imperfections of Life and Faith," from Worship Design Studio based on the book Good Enough by Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie.

Life can often feel like it demands accuracy, our best efforts, and general perfection, but for this season of Lent we'll be exploring the truth that life is actually imperfect, and our imperfect selves are exactly what God calls for it. We are in a turbulent time in the world, but the teachings of Jesus invite us to respond to this turbulence with humility and mercy, not just for each other, but for ourselves as well. Join us for these next six weeks as we dive deeper into a "good enough" faith.
