Bethany welcomed percussionist Ben Ofori as guest musician at the Sunday, June 25, worship service. A native of Ghana, Ben presented a number of musical selections during the worship service, using drums and other percussion instruments. He even enlisted the participation of several church members in playing rhythm instruments with him!
In honor of his appearance, the church was decorated with fabrics and artifacts from Africa. Rev. Jesse Larson, in his sermon, spoke of his own days as a Presbyterian mission volunteer in Africa. Elder Jim Guida, himself a veteran of travels to Tanzania, also brought his African art and fabric to display.
