The Bethany council met last night and voted to continue with our current status of keeping the building closed under the guidance of the Office of the Bishop and the increased rise of positive COVID-19 cases. Please see the letter below.

“Celebrate Christmas” Faith at Home Kits are open for pre-registration! The kit includes weekly stories, songs, and crafts/activities to prepare for and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Some examples of items you may find in this month’s kit: children’s book, movie, snacks, nativity crafts, Advent calendar countdown, and more! We feel it will be a great addition to the traditions your family already does this season. 

Our monthly kits are designed for children ages 2-8. You can register your family for a free Celebrate Christmas kit here: bit.ly/blcchristmaskit. Please complete the form no later than Monday, Nov. 16. Kits will be ready for pick-up or delivery the week of Nov. 29th.

You do not need to be a member of Bethany Lutheran Church to participate; we welcome all children in our community. We hope you will join us!

As of now, it appears we may have one more opportunity to worship outdoors this Sunday and that will be our plan. (Bring a chair and face mask)

As such, we will take this opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. Again, for those who worship online via Facebook, please contact the church (319) 643-5998 or email Paula (blcsecretary@lcom.net) or Pastor Chad (pastor@wbbethany.org) if you would like to pick up a prepackaged cup of grape juice and small wafer or to have one delivered to you.
