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.
The latest edition of the Southeastern Iowa Synod Newsletter is available now. In case you didn’t know Bethany is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Within the ELCA there are 65 synods. Each synod has its own Bishop who partners with various congregations within those synods. Bethany is part of the Southeastern Iowa Synod. The synod office is located in Iowa City. Our synod spans from just west of Des Moines and then runs along highway 30 east to the Mississippi and all the way south to Missouri. There are also congregations north of highway 30 especially on the east side as our synod stretches into Jackson County just south of Dubuque.
The March newsletter is done and can be viewed here.
