8am-5pm, and Wednesday through Friday before/after school. We look forward
to seeing you at the fair!

earn money in your youth account for your next mission trip or event with
Bethany’s Youth! Contact Amanda to Volunteer.
Ladies Game Day:
Ladies Game Day will meet every month on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 1:00PM in the Parish Lounge. Questions on this can be directed to Reva Kramer or leave a message with the church office.
Shut -In Ministry:
Do you know of someone who is a shut-in and would like a visit from Pastor, an Elder, or from myself (your DCE)? We have a list in the church office of those that we regularly visit and take Communion. If you have someone that we might add to that list, please contact our church secretary, Cindy Morrison or I and we would be happy to get that process started. If you have any questions about our Shut-In Ministry, please contact me at kfink@bethanylutheran.org or call ext. 19. - Karl Fink, DCE
Serving Passionately:
Looking for a place to serve that doesn't even take an hour per month? If so, consider setting up and/or cleaning up for communion. Volunteers are desparately needed and it doesn't even require an hour of your time once a month. If you would be interested in volunteering or just receiving more information on the job description, please contact Cindy Morrison (cmorrison@bethanylutheran.org) in the church office.
Food Pantry News:
We now have a very nice collection box attached to the wall in the Narthex right next to the drinking fountain. Please put any donations for our Food Pantry into this box. The basket is still there to receive any food items (or other non-perishables) that you wish to donate. These donations are of course accepted anytime, but especially on the 3rd Sunday of each month. - Karl Fink

Are You Receiving The Bethany Bullet?
The Bethany Bullet is a weekly capsule of worship highlights and big information that your brain may or may not have 'downloaded' from the prior Sunday. The purpose is to bolster you in faith, build you up in the key Biblical themes shared the previous Sunday in worship, to bring to mind the important issues on Bethany's plate and to broaden your awareness of opportunities of service to your Lord, your church, and your community.
