THANK YOU — Sunday School
Aug 16
A great big THANK YOU to everyone who came out for Sunday School Registration yesterday! It was a blessing to have all of God’s children in the chapel for a time of fellowship. We are excited to have this new method of registering everyone for Sunday School, and we look forward to this upcoming Sunday School year!
Bethesda will have a Parenting Class for Sunday School beginning Sunday, August 29th. It will be a 12-week course lead by Carolyn Beaty. The class will be based on The Essentials of Discipline by Dr. James Dobson. The topics include Why Your Child Needs Discipline, Irresonsibility vs. Defiance, Anger vs. Action, Finding Balance in Discipline, To Spank or Not to Spank, Compliant vs. Defiant, Changing Discipline as Your Child Grows, Protecting the Spirit, The Strong-Willed Adolescent, and The Ultimate Priority. Parents with children and youth of all ages are encouraged to attend. If you have any question, please see Katie Atcheson.
Sunday School Registration will be in the Chapel this Sunday from 9:45 to 10:30am. Everyone is asked to come enjoy donuts, coffee and juice and register for Sunday School. There will not be regular classes this week. (All classes, all ages)
Remember, this Sunday is Home Coming here at Bethesda. OUR SERVICE WILL BEGIN AT 10:45am sharp!
If you have ever been in the Chancel Choir, we invite you to join us this Sunday at 10:15 in the choir room for a quick rehearsal of “Heaven Medley”. We would love to have all choir members back in the choir all the time, but at least for this Sunday.
Bring your friends, family, neighbors, and former members. We have a great service planned. Immediately following service we will have a covered dish lunch in the fellowship hall. Bring plenty of food to share!
Guest Speaker – Rev. David Walters Sermon: Treasure Hunt Scripture Luke 19:1-10, Luke 8:40-48

Recognition of all Sunday School Teachers
On August 15 we will have Sunday School Registration in the Chapel for everyone (babies, children, youth, young adults, adults). We will have Donuts, Coffee and Juice during the Sunday School hour 9:45am – 10:45am that day. We hope that you take this time to visit and get acquainted with those you do not know. There will not be regular Sunday School this day.
We would like to remind everyone (especially those teaching) that Sunday School is 9:45 – 10:45 each week. It is very important that you dismiss your class promptly at 10:45am so that everyone has a chance to get to the 11 o’clock service on time. Parents, please note this change: Beginning August 22nd all of the children will go to the Chapel at 10:30am for a short dismissal program so you will pick up your child at 10:45am from the chapel instead of their classrooms.
The Children’s Sunday School Class will be on the order of Vacation Bible School but it will be called Staycation. We are sure that this will be new and exciting for your children, so please make every effort to have them at Sunday School every week. We guarantee you they will love this new program!
Thank you for your continued support to Bethesda UMC Sunday School

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
All 6th graders and up students are invited to join Pastor John (Katie and Scotty) on a journey of confirmation. Confirmation is a time of learning more about God, Christ and Holy Spirit, about what we believe, Bethesda history and the United Methodist history and about our world and relationships. The class begins on Jan. 24th at 9:45am in the classroom at the top of the stairs in the chapel. We will have Day Trips to Decatur Children’s Home, to Welsey Homes and to the Varsity (yeah). Please let Pastor John know ASAP if you can be in the class! It’s going to be fun!
