March 3 Lent Worship
Join us on Facebook tomorrow at noon (or anytime afterward) for another short prayer service of healing. Below is the bulletin and a short devotional on healing.
Children Faith at Home Kits
Faith Crafts for Spring Break:
Bust Spring Break boredom with our faith-based “Grab and Go” children’s craft kits! They will be available at Bethany Lutheran Church starting on Saturday, March 13. Kits will be placed outside the northwest door in a “grab and go” set-up. Supplies are limited. Unlike our monthly kits, there is no registration for these. Stop by, see, and take what your family needs.

Easter Kit: No matter what Easter looks like for your family this year, we can help your family celebrate at home! Get an Easter kit for your family from Bethany Lutheran Church. It will include crafts & activities for Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. It is designed for children ages 2-8. Please pre-register by Sunday, March 14 so we have enough supplies: https://forms.gle/MBFF6aeShnUrgS6u9
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!

2/28 Worship
Here is a link to yesterday’s worship.
Apparently, we had a few glitches beyond our control so here is a link to Pastor Chad’s sermon recorded later on.
March 2021 Newsletter
The March newsletter is done and can be viewed here.
Order of Worship for Wednesday Lent Service
Each Wednesday in Lent, a short prayer service around the cross will premier on Facebook at 12:00 PM and then be able to be viewed anytime afterward. Below is the bulletin to accompany the service for 2/24. Also, attached is a short devotional on healing, which is the theme of our Wednesday services.
Ash Wednesday
Please join us for Ash Wednesday worship, February 17th, at 7:00 PM on Facebook. In place of ashes this year, stop by to pick up an Ash Wednesday sticker or temporary tattoo or at-home ashes (see images below). Thanks to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Iowa City for graciously sharing the at-home ashes with us. They will be in a basket in the entryway of the doors off the parking lot. Those doors will be opened tomorrow 9:00 AM – Noon and 1:00 – 4:00 PM. They will also be open the same hours on Wednesday. If those times do not work, contact the church and we will figure something out.
