On the fifth Sunday of Lent—Sunday, March 26—Bethany hosted a special “Service of Healing.” The one-hour service, led by Rev. Jesse Larson and Rev. Janice Kamikawa, focused on healing and reconciliation. Today’s scripture was Genesis 19:1-3. Rev. Jesse asked the question: “Have you ever encountered an angel?”
Pianist Natalya Amelchenko Guerrero presented several musical arrangements and accompanied the singing of hymns:
Come and Find the Quiet Center
There is a Balm in Gilead
His Eye is on the Sparrow
In the Garden
A solo of “Blessed Jesus” was presented by vocalist Barbara Greene. The service concluded with the singing of “All Night, All Day, Angels Watching Over Me.”
The worship table was graced with angel figurines and ornaments brought by Bethany members and friends for display.
