SUNDAY Morning & Afternoon:
Making "Community Connections" through Prayer: We are taking a break until further notice. This group normally meets 7:30-7:55AM every Sunday in the Conference Room (Long Beach campus). When we begin to meet again, you are invited to drop in any Sunday and pray silently or from a prayer guide. God is powerful and mighty. He asks that we come to Him with our requests. FYI all who worship and all who serve in worship service are prayed for as well. - Pre-service Prayer Group
MONDAY Evening:
Men’s Bible Study Fellowship: We meet on Mondays from 6-9PM on Bethany's Long Beach campus. You can learn more at the BSF website: https://www.bsfinternational.org/. For me, this was a life changing study; in fact, the BSF bible study impacted my Christian walk more than other Christian endeavor. If you think you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me. - Don Baldwin. Call the church office (562) 421-4711 for Don’s contact information.
TUESDAY Morning:
LWML / MAC: Holy Cross Lutheran Church had an active LWML (Lutheran Women’s Missionary League) charter for most of its congregational ministry life. LWML is an officially recognized service organization of the LCMS. LMWL gatherings focus on promoting missions and serving the Lord through the Church. Holy Cross’ LWML gathering was historically called MAC (Missionary Activity Circle).
As the sanctuary nears completion of its remodel, MAC will return to meeting in the balcony of Bethany Lutheran’s Cypress campus on Tuesday mornings from 10:00AM to Noon. The gatherings start with a cup of coffee, devotions, fellowship and conversation. The gathering then proceeds to work on various projects such as quilts for World Relief. Historically the group has also made other crafts to be sold at a boutique and bake sale MAC hosts. Proceeds have gone to: congregational projects, International Missions, local community needs, and LWML expenses. The last Tuesday of the month the group gathers at a local restaurant for lunch. All women are welcome to join MAC ANY TUESDAY starting in March as together MAC “Serves the Lord with Gladness.”
THURSDAY Morning:
