THE RADICAL LOVE OF GOD TAKES US TO SURPRISING PLACES!
Welcome to Bethany Lutheran Church! Bethany Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America - ELCA We gather with one purpose in mind that "Following Christ's command to love God and our neighbor – We seek to share our faith in worship, discipleship, service and outreach." YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE! Together we seek to celebrate God's call to put our faith into action by reaching out in Love and Grace. Rev. Craig Wolfgram - Pastor Sunday Schedule WORSHIP SERVICE 9 am EDUCATION HOUR 10 am September – May See calendar for actually dates. COFFEE is available in the lounge Worship at Bethany If it’s been a long time since you’ve been to church, Bethany has you in mind! There’s already enough you have to think about when you’re visiting a church for the first time. We hope that getting some of this “stuff” out of the way not only encourages you to join us for church, but also helps you to connect with the hope and encouragement that God has for you. What will the service be like? Blended Service: A traditional service blended with contemporary music and the celebration of Holy Communion. Our service is printed out in the bulletins making it extremely easy for everyone to be involved. Will I be singled out in any way as a visitor? At Bethany, you’ll never be put on the spot, never feel forced to give money, and never embarrassed. You don’t have to sign anything or register your attendance in any way. Let the service be a gift to you. Here at Bethany, we want the first face you see when you approach the church to have a smile on it. Whatever you need upon entering a greeter/usher will be nearby to help you find what you need. We are a church that belongs to Christ… There is a place for you at Bethany.

Watch for the date. One of the implications of folks staying home from worship is that their regular offering will not be collected. It’s essential to support our ministries and keep current. Even in the midst of uncertainty, we are called to be generous. If you not able to worship…Please mail your offering to the church. Knowing that our income could be impacted, we invite those with extra resources to consider making a special gift to help us stay current during the next few weeks.

God is already reaching for you. God invites you where you are today! New to the area? We are waiting with open arms! Our goal is to grow through evangelism and being a welcoming and caring congregation of believers. Tried church before? Church of the second chance! It is sad to say, but even when individuals have good intentions, personalities clash and people make mistakes. Many have been turned away from church because they have been hurt. Is God calling you to give church a second chance? Please consider giving us a chance. Come, just as you are. |
