Bethany will have our "Soup Can" in the courtyard on two Sundays:
January 26th and February 2nd as our celebration of the "Super Bowl". We observe these two Sundays to collect funds to purchase food gift cards and/or cash to assist the needy in our neighborhood that come to the church office in search of assistance. These funds are used at Pastor Rick's discretion.

Attention Bethany Men!
I have been attending a men's Bible Study during the past few summers while Vera and I stayed cool in the high country. It has been a rewarding experience for me to share fellowship and spiritual experiences together each week in corporate prayer for the needs we recognize in our lives. I so enjoyed it that I would like to form such a group here at Bethany. If any of you Bethany Men would like to join such a group please let me know. Yours in Christ: Jack Stieg

Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest is actively helping the influx of refugees at our southern border. In Phoenix last week alone about 200 people were released each day. With ICE lacking the capacity for growing asylee numbers, families have been released to churches in Phoenix for temporary and transitional shelter until they are capable of traveling to their final destination. You can help by: 1) Volunteer - In Phoenix volunteers are urgently needed for shelter set-up, volunteer check-in, food service, travel assistance (bilingual preferred), driving/escorting, security, shelter breakdown, and much more. If you are interested in helping contact Lutheran Social Services. 2) Collect items - Travel backpacks, medical kits, snack bags, hygiene items, and paper products. The Grand Canyon Synod Assembly Planning Team is working with LSS-SW and Cruzando Fronteras to pull together a list of items to be collected at Synod Assembly in June. When the list is available, we will print in the weekly announcements. If you want to donate items to be given at the Synod Assembly, please bring them to church on a Sunday between now and June. |
Sunday School Classes
Sunday school class begins on September 10th. Sunday school will take place during the 9:00 a.m. service. The kids will gather in the sanctuary at the beginning of worship with their parents. The pastor will invite the kids forward for a short prayer and then be dismissed for class. Classes will be 30 to 35 minutes in duration and the kids will return to the sanctuary to participate in Holy Communion.
