Welcome, Newly Baptized Children of Bethany!

At the December 12, 2021 worship service, three children received the rites of baptism by Rev. Jesse Larson. Assisted by elder Barbra Greene, Rev. Larson baptized:

  • Steven Bertsch, son of Samantha (Guida) and Patrick Bertsch; grandson of Jim and Teri Guida

  • Alexander Medina and Jaxon Medina, sons of Christine (Ogata) and Yosihai Medina; grandsons of Cathy (Betts-Ogata) Sapunor and Tim Sapunor; great-grandsons of Bob Betts

Please join us in formally welcoming these young people into the Bethany family!

When you view the video (see link below), note that the camera was repositioned nearer to the center of the sanctuary. You’ll thus hear laughing, talking and the sounds of children—all signs of a vital and engaged congregation!
