Staying Connected
Every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Bethany presents an online worship service. Log on to Facebook at about 10:20 a.m. for beautiful music.
ONLINE GIVING IS AVAILABLE—AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER, now that we are an increasingly aging congregation with many unable to attend services in person.
