Happy Spring! All the weeds have/are being
sprayed. Please resist the urge to pull them just
yet...so hard, I know! We are wanting them to
brown up a bit before we go after them
with the weed eater.
Mother’s Day is coming up and we want to
get the grounds all dressed up and looking
nice for Mom. Mark you calendars and
plan to join us.
A ‘To-Do’ list will be displayed in the
garage and tools provided.

The Power Points of Life
Prior to Easter, the disciples were defeated, discouraged, and disheartened in
every way. All the joy and energy had
been taken out of their life. They didn’t
know where to go or what to do. But beginning on that first Easter morning, with
the empty tomb and then with their risen
Lord appearing to them the next 40 days,
their lives took on new joy, new hope,
and new power.
Our Easter Season sermon series
continues.
Join us as we discover the…
• Power to Witness: May 3rd
• Power to Do Good: May 10th
• Power to Look Up: May 17th

Pastor Doug’s Musings
I was wrapping up a pre-marital counseling
session the other night, and the groom to be
asked if he could ask a personal question. I
said, “Sure.” Then he asked, “Why are you a
parish pastor?”
I shared with him my sense of God’s call in
my life. Then I related how that process all
fell together for me. I even recounted how
God led me to Bethel with all the unique coincidences that all worked together to make that
happen. Then I talked about how I never felt I
was qualified for such a vocation because my
image of pastor’s was that they walked around
with their hands folded all day long and were
just a bit better than the average parishioner.
But throughout the Bible God had called any
number of people with clay feet who were
ordinary in every way. God doesn’t call the
equipped, He equips the called.
How’s that for an answer? As I thought of the
question some more… I would have added to
the answer something that is totally off the
wall. I have also been asked here recently, “so
we see you are going to retire here in the near
future, what keeps you from doing it now?”
Christ-Centered

Right now, to both questions, “why are you a
parish pastor? And what keeps you in the
game?”… the answer would be the same. It is
fun. Now fun might seem like a shallow nontheological word and reason, but I assure you
it is far deeper and more theologically correct
than any other reason I can think of. When I
looked up fun in my Webster’s dictionary, fun
is defined as a source of enjoyment or pleasure. That is exactly how I feel about being a
parish pastor.
For me, blessing and baptizing children (and
adults for that matter) is fun. It is a true joy
when the parents hand their child over to me
and I carry that child out into the congregation
and introduce this newly adopted child of God
to his/her new family.
PREPARING
FOR BAPTISM
—————————
Classes are held
regularly for those
individuals and families
who are planning an
upcoming baptism.
Our next meeting
will be on Tues.
May 5th at 7:00 p.m.
Sign up on Sunday’s
Welcome Sheet
if you will be
attending this
month’s class..
Preaching is fun. It is hard work for sure,
sometimes harder than others. But when a
message connects, when people say they remember something from a sermon, when a
sermon series really touches where people live
and relate, I want to jump up and down and
shout, “Yeah God! Thank you for using me as
your messenger.”
Working with the Bethel staff is fun. For me
that would include the regular volunteers that
are such an integral part of our life together. I
haven’t always been able to say that, but the
servant ministers God has brought together to
lead and help Bethel grow in mission and ministry is amazing. We are different in many
ways, but we are united in love for the Lord
and serving to the very best of our abilities.
We laugh, share our joys and trials, enjoy time
just hanging and talking. We can be real and
know we are loved and accepted. It doesn’t
get fun-ner than that.
Sharing life with you, the people of God, at
Bethel is fun. As Pastor I have the distinct
honor and privilege of being invited into your
lives at important and significant moments.
When you get to do and/or be a part of weddings, baptisms, confirmations, graduations…
Rejoice with those who rejoice. And on the
other side of life, when life goes south, when
there is job loss, or illness, or marital problems and even and especially when death interrupts life, and I get a call, the fun of sharing
life with one another goes to a whole new
level.
Then there are countless little fun things…
Like the pictures I often receive after church
on Sundays. There are many budding artists
here at Bethel. When we get together after
church on Saturday nights… It sure makes
going to church fun. Not always knowing who
is going to come up to help for communion,
but confident several will feel the call… just
brings a smile to my face. Watching our kids
lead worship, acolyting, reading, singing,
helping with communion and watching the
reverence and holiness in which they lead…
awesome fun. When I find a six pack of my
favorite refreshments stored under my desk,
just because my secret friend knows I enjoy
hoppy beverages… tasty fun. When someone
brings in deviled eggs, cookies, snacks, just
because they were thinking of us… that is fun
ministry at its best.
Now let me reassure you that parish ministry
is hard work. In fact, I can’t think of a profession where the demands are greater, the expectations higher or the time commitment
more than ministry. There are moments when
I am overwhelmed by it all. There are times
when it is pretty lonely. There are stretches
where you don’t think you can do right for
doing wrong. But as the Bible says, “it came
to pass.”
But overall,
• when you feel you are making a difference,
• when people go out of their way to express
appreciation,
• when you touch hearts and lives for Christ,
• when people come to faith, grow in faith,
and live out their faith in real and significant ways
• when you see and feel the Spirit of Christ
alive and vibrant in individual lives and our
lives together. Wow! Fun of first order.
Why am I a parish pastor? I still feel called by
God and God is letting me have fun doing it.
You can’t tell me it gets any better than that.
I’m full in. How about you?
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Doug

Annual School Backpack Supply Drive
School is not even out for the summer yet, but it is time to start thinking
about filling backpacks with supplies for children in need at White River
and Hamilton Heights Elementary Schools.
You can participate in this wonderful sharing program by taking a tag
from the kiosk in the narthex (sometime in June) and
returning the items by Sunday, July 19th.
It is so gratifying that our congregation cares so much about
students and their education!

Food and Baby Pantry News…
Everyone’s Invited!
Saturday, June 27th
@ 6:30pm
Regular Hours *
Wed’s—12:00 noon-2:30 pm
Sat’s—9:00-11:30 am
Though Spring brings on new energies
and enjoyment of getting outside to
breathe fresh air, there are still some
who need more than just “getting out.” Our
Food and Baby Pantry is one of several that are busy
in Hamilton and Marion Counties; keeping the
shelves stocked is of primary importance. The baby
side can always use dry formula, and jars of baby
food, primarily fruit and vegetables, Stage 2. On the
family side, canned fruit is always popular.
Lately, we have needed extra volunteers to sign up to
help either on Wednesdays or Saturdays. Please
check the Pantry Calendar in the hallway near the
Pantries and see if there is a Wednesday or a
Saturday that you wouldn't mind coming in to help.
Another way to help is helping stock shelves.
To sign up to help during open hours,
Contact Linda Shutte, LASchutte@att.net or Sign up on
the calendar in the Pantry hall. Also, online calendar at
www.volunteer spot.com/login/

Prayer & Praise in the Chapel
Wednesdays at 11AM
There will be PRAISE and PRAYER in Bethel’s Chapel room.
As Christians, as members of Bethel, of Noblesville, of Indiana, of America don’t we all have many concerns that we feel the need to pray about? Isn’t it good to lift these prayers to God, as a group, just as Jesus’
earliest disciples did when they gathered in homes to pray? As we pray we also remember with joy the
power and love of God, and so we also praise him as we pray.
Come to pray and praise, weekly or when you can
(you won’t have to pray aloud, we promise)

Good Stewardship = Rummage Sale!
It sounds strange to equate the Bethel Rummage Sale with being good stewards of
God’s resources. However, we all have things that we have purchased with the resources God
has given us that we no longer need. How wonderful to pay these goods forward by donating
them to the rummage sale.
Our annual rummage sale is a way to be good stewards with our resources. On top of
giving of our used or unneeded resources we also can give of our time as well, by helping in
some capacity over the two weeks that we work on the thrummage sale.
I am sure that there is
some block of time during the two weeks from May 26 to June 5th that you would be able to
help by sorting, labeling, baking, selling, cashiering, and bagging to help Bethel.
Then when it is all over the money collected will be used for the ministries of our
church.
It is truly a WIN-WIN situation. Join us in being good stewards in this way.
Simply Giving® Program
