Reformation Sunday • October 29, 2023

On Oct. 29, 2023, Bethany observed Reformation Sunday, a time to celebrate the origins of the Presbyterian Church. Guest musician Neil Henderson played bagpipes during the worship service, accompanied by Sherry McHurd Hanson on the viola for the postlude “Amazing Grace.” The congregation wore tartan ribbons in honor of the church’s Scottish beginnings. Scottish shortbread (using the traditional recipe of Bethany member and native Glaswegian Myra Cowan) and scones were served following the service. Thank you to those who baked Scottish goodies and brought special items to decorate the worship and refreshment tables!
