New Elders Installed July 9

Susan Just and Jim Guida, both of whom had in prior years served on Bethany’s Session (board of elders) were reinstalled at the July 9 worship service. Each will serve another term of office on Session. Joining Rev. Jesse Larson in the service of installation was Clerk of Session Grace Ogata Beutler, joined at the lectern by daughter Poppy. In keeping with tradition, all those present who had served as church officers “laid hands” on Susan and Jim prayer.
