Wednesday in Lent

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Pastor

Plan to join us Wednesday evenings in Lent.  We will gather for a light meal beginning at 6:00 pm.  Following that at 7:00 we will gather for a short worship service.  There will be changes this year and we will be gathering for worship in the Great Hall for a service of prayer around the cross.  Hopefully, you will come and give it a try and be open to the Holy Spirit at work in something new.  Blessed Lenten journey!

Please consider attending this annual workshop sponsored by the South-eastern Iowa Synod. This year’s theme is “We are people of the Spirit” Those from Bethany who have attended CTIM in the past have enjoyed the worship experience with others from across the synod, the workshops offered, and the time to fellowship with others. If you are interested in attending please let Paula know by February 22nd. More information can be found on the Southeastern Iowa Synod Website by clicking here.

The event cost is $20; however, Bethany will cover this cost for anyone wishing to attend.

Bowling this Sunday for Middle and High School Children

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Pastor

Since EPIC was unable to go bowling a few weeks ago, we have rescheduled to go this Sunday afternoon January 18.  We plan to go to Colonial Lanes in Iowa City.  We will meet at the church and head out at 1:00 and then be back to the church at 4:00.  Please RSVP by Friday, so we can plan carpooling.  This will be a combined event for both middle schoolers and high schoolers.  We are thinking we could get two games in.  Please bring enough money for 2 games and snacks if your child would want to eat there.

Thank you,

Jeni, Jenni, and Amanda

You can RSVP to Pastor Chad:  [email protected] who will relay this information onto Jeni, Jenni, and Amanda.
