Church Custodian Opening

Due to a recent injury, Curt Casper is resigning as our church custodian.  Curt has done an exceptional job in this capacity and we are grateful for his service and wish him a speedy recovery.  Dave Bahnsen has been filling in the last couple weeks and has done a great job and we are thankful for his service.
With that said, we will be seeking a new custodian to fill the position immediately.  All candidates will need to be interviewed, with a final vote on the hire by Council.  Members of Bethany or Bethany family members will be given priority over non-member applicants.  See job description and requirements below.  Please email or contact John Black ([email protected]) or Pastor ([email protected]) if you have an interest or know someone who does.

God’s Work. Our Hands. Sunday 2016 – Save the Date!

Bethany will again plan to join with other congregations throughout the ELCA on Sunday, September 11 as we respond to God’s amazing grace in a dedicated day of service (even though each day our lives as disciples respond and reflect the love, grace, and goodness of God in service to our neighbor).

Look for more information to come.
