Crafters wanted for Christmas in July

ATTENTION CRAFTERS

Do you like to sew, knit, or crochet? Are you skilled with beads or wood? Perhaps you make unique creations that Pinterest  hasn’t even dreamed of yet! If so, then Bethany needs you!

We are seeking any church family members who like to create home-made items for a Christmas in July bazaar-like event that is currently in the planning stages.

If you are interested in lending your skills, please get to creating and let Rachel Linkswiler ([email protected]) or Nancy Wachter ([email protected]) know that you’d like to participate!

Lenten services for 2022

Midweek Lenten Worship Services

          Our Midweek Lenten Worship Services will begin on March 2, 2022 with our traditional Ash Wednesday service and will conclude on April 15, 2022 with our observance of Good Friday.  This year, due to the limited availability of ordained Lutheran clergy, only the 12:00 noon midweek Lenten worship service has been scheduled.  The 12:00 noon worship service will be recorded and posted on our church’s Facebook page to be available to those who are not able to attend the 12:00 PM worship service.  The theme of our 2022 midweek Lenten series is “The Garden and Life and Death.”  Rev. Mather will be with us to officiate during the Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday worship services.
