Bethel and Fellow Believers Beneath the Bridge: Thousands Flock to Sundial Bridge to Worship During a Pandemic



By Doni Chamberlain  A NewsCafe 

"Approaching the Sundial Bridge in Redding last night, the first indication that something big was happening was the sight of vehicles; hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. Parked cars, trucks, vans, bikes and Segways 

covered all available asphalt, parking lots and dirt areas around the Redding Civic Auditorium, the Sundial Bridge/Turtle Bay, the Sheraton Hotel, and even the Redding Rodeo grounds.

Those who couldn’t find parking along Auditorium Drive parked along Park Marina Drive and walked across the freeway overpass, carrying folding chairs and children, as if heading for Redding’s annual Freedom Festival fireworks show.

Of course, this year, because of the pandemic, the Civic Auditorium grounds were off limits for watching the annual fireworks display. Strangely, however, last night in Redding 

the pandemic didn’t interfere with a Bethel Church-related event that drew thousands of people from not just the North State, but from far outside Shasta County’s borders."





‘Know Jesus, No Mask’: How a Charismatic Worship Leader Bamboozled His Way to the Sundial Bridge




By Doni Chamberlain - A NewsCafe

"At the Sundial Bridge in Redding, thousands of fundamentalist Christians crammed, jammed and sang together in defiance of public health orders that especially ban large gatherings during the pandemic. Social distancing was nonexistent by participants at the Sundial Bridge, 
and the number of people spotted wearing masks could be counted on two hands.

While the amphitheater was officially ground zero for Feucht’s “Let Us Worship” gala, that area quickly proved too small for the jam-packed, fabric-waving, hand-raising celebrants who shouted — JESUS! — as they danced and swayed to the amplified Christian worship music that could be heard for miles around.

In the days following the event, once again, news stories and videos gave the world a glimpse of the second time within two months when the North State was ridiculed 
for openly defying public health guidelines during a pandemic.

Of course, there were plenty of people in Feucht’s camp hailing him for his bravery as a hero, cheering him on, praising him as a modern-day martyr for his willful 
disobedience of governor’s orders, in the name of Jesus.

While many Reddingites may have felt shocked and outraged at what they viewed as “Let Us Worship” organizers’ reckless and irresponsible actions during a public-health crisis, there’s some consolation in knowing that Redding is not the only city to experience Bethel Church Worship Leader Feucht’s faith-based mob scene."
