A meeting of the congregation will take place after the worship service on Sunday, December 10. Session (Bethany’s board of elders) met last week to discuss the church’s budget for the coming year and agreed that the position of pastor—held by Rev. Jesse Larson—will continue to be full-time through at least the month of April 2024. (There had been earlier discussion that this position might have to be decreased to part-time due to budget constraints.) As per standard procedure, the congregation will vote on Session’s recommendation at this meeting. All members are encouraged to attend.
