Sanctuary
Our Eastertide Worship Theme is Sanctuary:
Churches are called sanctuaries because those convicted of a crime found refuge within the walls of the medieval church. The security guaranteed by those walls made the church one of the first “safe spaces” in medieval life. Today, security concerns are often used as a weapon to threaten others safety. Join us to explore how we build sanctuary for all to create pockets as full of imagination, comfort, and rest as the pillow forts you might have built growing up.
Find us Sundays mornings at 10:30 am in the sanctuary or online!

Join us on Saturday, May 3rd from 11:30 - 3:00 to sort and glean food at Nourishing Hope (formerly Lakeview Pantry). It's a great opportunity to address local food insecurity and build connection with fellow Bethany congregants.

Disability Justice & Movie
Tuesdays in May with Rebecca
Bethany has long been committed to asking about ourselves, "Who's not here?" and "why"?
In May, we’re asking those questions about who can and cannot access life at Bethany. Look at our building and community with (what may be for some of us) a new lens.
On Tues, May 6th, we'll watch the excellent movie Crip Camp at 7 pm in the sanctuary. Then, for four Tuesdays beginning May 13th, we'll read and work through Amy Kenny's My Body in Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church.
Join us for the film, group, or both! Sign up here.
