February 2015
Lent 2015
“40 Days of Life Together”
Our theme this year is "40 Days of Life Together" and this springs from our emphasis in
2015 on developing meaningful spiritual relationships. In keeping with this emphasis, we
will be studying one of the most influential
Christian books on discipleship and community, Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Our Wednesday evening gatherings during
Lent will focus on the five chapters of the
book:
Bethel will have 20 copies of Life Together available for purchase ($10) in the office. You are
encouraged to read the section the week after
the Wednesday night service and meet in small
groups, study groups, breakfast groups, etc.
during the week for discussion. Pastor Dave will
be holding a Brown Bag and Bible group on
Wednesdays in Lent from 12:00-1:00 at Bethel.
February 25: Community
March 4: The Day with Others
March 11: The Day Alone
March 18: Ministry
March 25: Confession and Communion
The week after each of these Wednesday
night Lenten worship services, Pastor Dave
will be posting some discussion questions,
conversation starters, and Bible verses for you
to use in small groups, in coffee groups, as
spouses/families. You can access these at
our Lent 2015 Study Blog:
www.lent2015atbethel.blogspot.com.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Pastor’s Page
Life in Community, Life Together
“How very good and pleasant it is when kindred
live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1).
With this, Dietrich Bonhoeffer begins his classic
book on faith, discipleship and community.
This year, our kindred of faith at Bethel will be
exploring the themes of this book during Lent.
I remember the first time I read this book, and
how impressive, overwhelming, and exciting it
was to me. I remember longing for such a life
together with others in the name of Jesus.
The history of Bonhoeffer, as a preacher and
teacher, as a voice in the wilderness against
the Nazi oppression, as a courageous leader of
the underground Confessing Church during his
later years in Germany, and as a humble and
thoughtful and prayerful servant of Jesus, form
the backdrop of this seminal book.
Life Together was written in the run up to the
Second World War as the Confessing Church
confronted Nazism. The stimulus for the writing
of Life Together was the closing of the preacher's seminary at Finkenwalde. The treatise contains Bonhoeffer's thoughts about the nature of
Christian community based on the common life
that he and his seminarians experienced at the
seminary and in the "Brother's House" there.
Bonhoeffer completed the writing of Life Together in 1938.
I invite you to embrace this unique opportunity
to read a Christian classic. You can purchase a
copy from the office, or online of course. Bethel
will be offering an opportunity for Lent-specific
study groups to form to study the book. Each
Wednesday night during Lent, we will explore a
separate theme. We also have a study blog set
up, www.lent2015atbethel.blogspot.com, for
your groups or you individually to use during
the season.
Our emphasis this year on authentic, meaningful, and faithful relationships serves as a catalyst for using this meaningful book. I invite you
to form community with folks from Bethel, but
also consider doing so with folks outside of
Bethel. Invite some neighbors to read it with
you, to attend our midweek worship gatherings,
and perhaps meet in your home (use the study
blog for conversation starters, Bible verses, and
questions). In a society that is often divided, this
is a time we can faithfully and unequivocally announce a unity we all share in Christ.
Lenten Shalom,
Pastor Dave

Income for December was $6,000 less than
planned for in the ministry spending plan. Expenses were about $1,000 less than expected.
Overall, income exceeded expenses for December by $2,800. For 2014, expenses exceeded income by $8,000. While this is not
ideal, the 2014 Ministry Spending Plan anticipated a $54,000 deficit.

“Soul Keeping”
Priesfield Retreat Center, Inwood, WV
April 10-12
All women are welcome!
“Anxiety, fear, loneliness. These are all symptoms of a soul that has lost touch with its
source of life. Like a flower snipped from the
vine, the soul that is not turned toward God
can only wither away.
In Soul Keeping, bestselling author John
Ortberg, sheds light on the most overlooked,
underrated, and least understood part of your
being. With a workable and relevant approach, he shows how living the "with God"
life isn't just a good idea--it's the only way to
find lasting peace and satisfaction...”

up after events and keeping it organized; it
makes it so much easier for the next group. At
the request of the funeral committee we have
moved a few items around; signage will be
updated.
If you are borrowing items from the kitchen,
please let the office know. We want to be able
to track them down if needed for another
event. Items taken to other parts of the church
should be returned to the kitchen when finished.
For safety, please make sure sharp knives are
returned to the upper cabinets in the proper
containers-not the drawers.
There are 2 large salt glaze crocks in the kitchen (behind the door), if they belong to you
please let the office know and make arrangements to pick up.
Thank you again for your cooperation.

W.A.T.T.S.
Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter
“Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Lord, I’m gonna fade away”
The Rolling Stones
I usually begin or end with a bible verse. But the above verse from the Stones seems fitting as
well as we begin embark on our 4th year of giving shelter to our area neighbors.
Our week of W.A.T.T.S. is Feb. 16-23
As Paul states, “…God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7) and cheerful is an understatement as so many of you have taken a “shingle” with needed supplies or asked Marion and
me how you can volunteer your time. THANK YOU!
During our WATTS week, we appreciate the accommodations that will be made by so many.
Schedules are adjusted, space is volunteered and again, it’s all done with a Cheerful Heart.
We still need some volunteer slots filled. Please visit: http://www.signupgenius.com/
go/10c054bada82aa0ff2-watts2 (It’s on the Bethel website, too)
Or find Marion or me (Judy McKiernan)
Thank you so very much!!
CCAP Update
CCAP would like to thank the community for all their support in providing a gift filled Christmas for
over 1500 children in our community (Bethel’s “Christmas in July” angel tree helps support the
CCAP Christmas give away). Thanks to your generosity over 31,000 families were assisted by
CCAP with food, clothing, and basic needs during 2014.
Current needs: Children's clothing up to 5T, men's clothing, socks, HP 60 and 61 printer cartridges,
size 5 and 6 diapers and wipes, coffee, towels and washcloths, washing detergent, and salt for
sidewalks. CCAP does not need women's clothing at this time unless it is triple extra large.
Volunteers are always needed to make copies, transport food, sort clothing, or be a receptionist.
Small groups are needed to sort clothing after hours and move to the new clothing building next
door.
CCAP hosts WATTS individuals prior to pick up each day and on the weekends during cold weather. If any small groups/church groups would be interested in providing fellowship and sandwiches
to the WATTS individuals on Saturdays, it would be greatly appreciated. Please call Fran Ricketts at
CCAP at 662-4318.

Centering Prayer
Retreats During Lent
The Centering Prayer Group at Bethel is sponsoring two mini-Centering Prayer Retreats as we
journey through the Lenten season. Saturday
February 28th, and Saturday, March 28th from 10
a.m. to noon in Discipleship Hall, we will have a
brief introduction to Centering Prayer. We will
then sit in prayer and silence for 20 minutes of
Centering Prayer. We will follow that with a brief
period of meditative walking. We will continue in
this pattern until we have done three periods of
Centering Prayer, and 3 periods of meditative
walking. After completing our prayer, we will
have time for reflection and discussion.
What is Centering Prayer? At its heart it is simply consenting and surrendering to God. Fr.
Thomas Keating in his book, “Open Mind, Open
Heart” puts it this way,
“The spiritual journey does not require going anywhere because God is already present and within
us. It is a question of allowing our ordinary
thoughts to recede into the background and to
float along the river of consciousness without our
noticing them, while we direct our attention toward the river on which they are floating.” (Open
Mind, Open Heart, p. 20)
Centering Prayer is our attempt to be present to
God, by noticing our every day thoughts, and
then letting them go, and simply attempting to be
present in the moment. We sit in silence for 20
minutes because it usually takes that long for our
thoughts to quiet down, and for us to enter the
peace and tranquility that is God within us.
to God. It is an opportunity to say “yes” to God
and the work of the Spirit in us. It is an opportunity to imitate Jesus’ obedience, and in some small
way, return a little of the love, care and attention
God has always shown us.
We would love for you to join us and experience
this powerful, ancient way of praying and being
present with God.
WHEN: February 28 and March 28
TIME: 10:00 a.m. to noon
WHERE: Discipleship Hall
WHAT: 3 periods of Centering Prayer, and 3
periods of walking meditation with Intro. to
Centering Prayer to begin, and
discussion to close
WHO: You!!
New Facilities Manager
It is an honor to serve as Director of Facility Management. This is the Year of Relationship here at
Bethel. As for me, I have already formed many
more relationships since volunteering for this position, and I expect to form many more. The trepidation associated with taking on this responsibility is well offset by the knowledge that there are
so many good people here at Bethel who insure
that things run smoothly and who do so much
behind the scenes to make Bethel the wonderful
place that it is. Please feel free to come to me
with any issues about our facilities – hopefully
with good suggestions and an offer to help! I am
indeed grateful for this opportunity to serve.
Cliff Crowder
As we begin our journey this Lent toward the
cross and ultimately, the resurrection, we remember the willingness and consent Jesus demonstrated for us by his obedience to God unto
death. Centering Prayer is an opportunity to
practice our own willingness and consent
