Worship Style

Worship at Bethany is thematically dynamic. We utilize the Common Lectionary System which
designates appointed scripture readings for each Sunday.  Our worship services are designed to put the
scripture readings, music, and prayers into conversation with the contemporary events happening in the
world as well as with the everyday contexts of struggle and joy so much a part of our lives.

We utilize modern and inclusive language, a blend of both contemporary and traditional music, along with the celebration of weekly Holy Communion to make worship a time for connecting with God. At Bethany we practice “open” Holy Communion which means that anyone who worships with us is invited and encouraged to participate in receiving the communion meal.

Come just as you are. You can be dressed up, dressed down, in a good mood or bad, happy or sad … Bethany is a place where you will be welcomed and accepted. Our worship services overflow with the energy of hospitality and God’s presence!
