Grief Workshop

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Pastor

You are invited to attend an introductory session on grief.  Since the dawn of humanity there has always been grief.  Even Jesus grieved as He wept over the dead body of Lazarus. We each grieve in different ways and working through and coping with our grief is certainly a process.  Please join us as we welcome Jeff Barton, Bereavement Counselor, for Iowa City Hospice to help us better understand grief, recognize it, and begin to understand how to work through it.  It will be at Bethany Lutheran on June 17th at 6:30 p.m.  This will be approximately an hour long session with time for questions and answers following.  If you have any specific questions please email them to Pastor Chad ([email protected]) ahead of time and he will send to Mr. Barton.  This is open to anyone and not just members of Bethany.

Malaria Campaign Update

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Pastor

Wow!  Thank you faithful people of God in responding to God’s grace and giving $628 to further the work being done to eradicate this preventable disease.  Your generosity is awesome and we far exceeded our $500 goal.  There is still time to give and a few mosquitoes were left up in the Great Hall to be taken down.

Also, help is needed for our neighbors in Nepal.  To learn more or to give please click here to be redirected to the Lutheran Disaster Response site.

World Malaria Day

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Pastor

Saturday is World Malaria Day and we will stand with all those affected by this preventable disease in worship on Sunday.  The Confirmation students have set a goal of raising $500 to go toward the ELCA Malaria Campaign.  They have cut out mosquitoes and they are hanging on the wall in the Great Hall.  Together we can help.  Make a suggested donation of $5 to wipe out a mosquito.  Or you can donate directly the ELCA Malaria Campaign (www.elca.org/malaria) but if you do this please let us know the amount so we can help achieve our goal.  Thanks!
