Rev. Jesse Larson led today’s service, which focused on gratitude and blessings. Pledges for the 2023 budget year were accepted and dedicated during the service. You can still give to the ministry of the church. Here are more details about Pledge Dedication Sunday and how your gift—no matter how modest—can make the work of Bethany possible in the months to come. The scripture reading was Luke 17:11-19—the story of Jesus healing the lepers. Jim Guida presented a children’s moment. Jackie Sneed served as liturgist.
Hymns, accompanied by pianist Natalya Amelchenko, included:
We Gather Together
Give Thanks
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Now Thank We All Our God
Let All Things Now Living
After the service, Thanksgiving pie was served in the Social Hall.
