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!
Sign up for the weekly email to stay in touch, for links, and the latest on everything we’re up to.
Final 3-week Sunday School Session
Begins May 4th
Sunday School will return for a 3-week session starting on May 4th! This will be our last session of the season before returning in the Fall. Kids 4 and up are invited to attend Sunday School after “Passing The Peace” on those Sundays.
Summer Cookout
June 1st
Our new summer service schedule begins on June 1st. During the summer, our worship service will start at 10am instead of 10:30am. We will also be meeting on the lawn as often as the weather will let us! To celebrate that summer kick-off, we’ll be having a cookout on the front lawn on June 1st!
Please plan on bringing picnic sides and desserts if you’re able (we’ll be posting a paper sign up near the entrance to the sanctuary for folks to indicate what they’re bringing!) We’ll also need help with set up/clean up, so please sign up here if you’re able to help!
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.
