Prayer Team Meeting

Posted on October 20, 2014 by Pastor

Please join us this Thursday, October 23 at 6:00 p.m. for our Prayer Team meeting.  This is a newer group that we are trying to get more people involved in.  This is a very informal time that we talk about prayer in our own lives and then make intentional time to pray for the people of God at Bethany and other prayer petitions in the world, our community, or in our personal lives.

This week we will begin watching a series of short videos that speak to meeting God in prayer.  We will gather in the Small Hall.  All are invited and we hope you join us!

Simply Giving Forms

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Pastor

It’s fall and once again we will embark upon our annual stewardship campaign.  Yet, stewardship is not something we just do each fall but is something we do daily in our life in Christ.  Stewardship is giving joy for all that God has entrusted us with and responding to those many blessings by responsibly tending to all that God has poured out upon us including our time, talents, and finances.

Many of you take advantage of online giving through “Simply Giving.”  If you don’t know about this or want more information you can view a brochure explaining this by clicking here and an authorization form if you want to get set up by clicking here.  Both of these are found under the resource tab of this website.  If you have any questions, please see Jill Taylor, our Financial Secretary.

Outdoor Worship with Pet Blessing 2014

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Pastor

Last Sunday, Sept. 28, we had our second annual outdoor worship with pet blessing.  The Lord blessed us with yet another beautiful day for which we are grateful.  Here are a few photos of the event.  Thanks to all who came out, brought their pets, and made it another great worship service to God our Creator.
