College Care Packages
Another school year is rapidly coming to a close, and that means it's time for college finals care packages! All are invited to bless and encourage our college students. Sign up online to participate by donating snacks or funds and helping to assemble care packages on Saturday, May 2nd.
Church Cleaning Day
It's also time for our church's annual spring cleaning day in 2 weeks! Join us to be good stewards of the resources God has given us. All volunteers will enjoy a delicious lunch together after the morning of working together. All ages are welcome to join.
Corporate Prayer
Prayer is the lifeblood of the church, serving as the essential spiritual engine that strengthens the body and unites us in Christ. Let's cover our church, its ministries and servants in prayer every single day. We invite everyone to sign up online for a regular time to pray during the week using the corporate prayer requests which are posted online. We look forward to seeing how God will be glorified as we grow more devoted in prayer.
New Sunday School Class
Join us for an encouraging class learning from Stephen Smallman’s, “The Walk: Steps for New and Renewed Followers of Jesus.” This 6-week class is for all believers seeking to grow in their faith on a biblical foundation. Through engaging discussions and practical applications, we’ll explore the fundamental steps of walking with Jesus each day. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in your faith and connect with a supportive community. All are welcome! Please register online.
Dates: Sundays, April 19-May 31
Time: 11:30am-12:30pm.
Location: BPC Classroom 3-4.
Connect Tables
We know it can be hard to meet and get to know others at our church. The family ministry is hosting a Family Connect Table on the second Sunday of the month. The men’s and women's ministries are hosting Connect Tables on the fourth Sunday of the month. So join us in the MPR after service!
Look for the bright yellow Family Connect Table. The men’s connect table is orange. The women’s connect table is blue. We'll have refreshments and would love to meet you.
Men's Breakfast Fellowships
Men, please join as we gather for a time of spiritual encouragement and fellowship on Saturday, April 25th at 8:00 - 10:30am. We will be meeting in the old fellowship hall for a time of worship followed by breakfast fellowship. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Bookmark the remaining 2026 dates: 6/27, 8/29, 9/26.
Baltimore Homeless Ministry
Our church has a monthly outing to Baltimore City to minister to the homeless population in Baltimore City. We prepare meals to distribute as well as clothing donations.

Please contact Deacon Chun with any questions.
Next Date: Saturday, May 9
Meeting time & place: Orientation at 9:30am in the BPC Lobby. Return to church about 1pm. To help with food prep, please come to the BPC kitchen at 7:30am.

College Shuttle
The College shuttle runs every Sunday morning and afternoon during the school year. We serve several campuses: College Park, and schools in Baltimore City (Hopkins, MICA and Peabody). We are always in need of more drivers! Please SIGN UP HERE TO DRIVE!

Join us online on Wednesday mornings at 6:15am on Google Meet! (This prayer meeting will end on 3/18. A new prayer meeting will begin after Easter.)

Men’s and Women’s Small Groups 2025-2026
A few years ago, Pastor John Piper coined the phrase "small togetherness" in describing small groups. There are "big ways" that the church comes together, primarily corporate worship. But small groups offer an intimate setting to share life's journey and engage in a deep, life-transforming study of God's Word. And so we want to encourage you to sign up for a men's or women's group this fall. There are groups available almost every weeknight in various formats including in-person, hybrid and online.
This year, we'll unpack the word of God in Romans where the Apostle Paul pulls back the curtain on the human condition and then stuns us with the glory of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. Romans will not just teach us about doctrine—it will open our eyes to the greatness of God Himself, and invite us to trust, worship, and follow Him with our whole lives.
We ask that everyone register for small group, including returning members.
Serving Opportunities
Praise God for everyone who came to the ministry fair held on Sunday, June 1st and signed up to serve! You can always find out how to get plugged in and be a part of God's kingdom building work on our website at bethelchurchem.org/serve.
Prayer Drop Box
Did you know the EM has an intercessory prayer team and that they want to pray for you? You can now drop prayer requests in the offering and prayer drop boxes in the back of the Promise Chapel. There are prayer request forms located on the side of the boxes.
You can also email prayerministry@bethelchurchem.org at any time!
Family Groups
Marriage and parenting have many joyous moments. But they also come with many difficult trials that can make you feel alone in your struggle. As part of our church body, you don't have to do it alone. Join a family group. Be a blessing and be blessed as you share life together and encourage each other with God’s promises.
Church Building Repair Report
If you ever notice something that needs repair or service in the church building, please submit the Building Repair Report to let the building ministry know! It takes a congregation to keep our church in good shape.
Prayer Requests
Let's earnestly go to God together with your prayer requests! Send your prayer requests confidentially to the prayer team. We can also request a prayer team member to meet to pray with you.
