Serving and Caring

Being a disciple of Christ Jesus means following his teachings: the ministry of care is the way Bethany members live out Jesus' teachings: "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
-- Matthew 25:34-36

, is in the process of having all 380 recipes proffread and sent to the publisher by September 1st. Thank you to all who shared their delicious recipes to be included in the book. We are sure you'll be pleased with the book and you will be able to purchase it by November 1st. The cost will be about $10.00 and it will make a very nice Christmas gift for family and friends.

The Ministry of Care

Do you have a gift for caring about others? Bethany’s In-Reach Committee is looking for you! Members of the In-Reach Committee minister to our members in need of care (sick, shut-in, grieving, recovering, etc.). If you are friendly, trustworthy, prayerful, and want to help, contact Traci Naugle.

Help Available

Do you or someone you know need help making ends meet? Pastor Betty has confidential emergency assistance available. Are you thinking about counseling (personal, marriage, or spiritual)? Pastor Betty is trained to provide initial counseling, to shepherd couples through pre-marriage and marriage enrichment counseling, and to make referrals. Please contact the office or Pastor Betty any time.

Tape Ministry

Our tape ministry is growing -- if you could drop off a tape or two to help Sue Asan, please contact her. Thank you!

Ride Sharing is Ministry!

A few Bethany members need rides to our worship services. If you are willing/able to transport one or more members one time per month, please let Pastor Betty, Traci Naugle, or Sue Asan know.

Bethany’s Grief Group

Pastor Betty has started a grief support group on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 6:00 pm. Come learn and share and support each other with Bible Study.
