November Tower Notes

October 29, 2015 By ClioBethany

Keep up to date on all the happenings around Bethany UMC and download your copy of the tower notes today.

We have a lot to look forward to this month. On Thanksgiving Sunday (11/22), Pastor LuAnn will be doing a pulpit swap with Rev. Nate Jeffords of Byron First UMC.

We will once again be hosting our annual free community Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving Day. Please share with the community and if you are able to come and help serve, setup, prepare, or cleanup from the meal, we would welcome assistance. Feel free to email us or call the church office to volunteer.

We are also having our annual packing party for Operation Christmas Child. This is so much fun and such a blessing to build all of these boxes of gifts for others.

You can even help out Operation Christmas Child just by dining out. Stop in to the church office and get a flyer, then go out to eat at Bob Evans Birch Run location and they will donate 15% of your purchase to support this mission. Awesome opportunity and a great meal to boot!

Keep up with us on Facebook.

It’s a Wonder-Full Life: Spiritual practice feeds that part of ourselves that is oriented toward
serenity, harmony, truth, compassion, gratitude, love and joy. But these are not always words we use to describe the role of money in our lives. In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a crisis of money
creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own relationships with money.

Do Unto Others: In October 2024, Pastor Sarah led us through a sermon series during a divisive election season where we learned about Doing Unto Others through kindness, compassion, humility, respect and love.

Uncommon Wisdom: In September 2024 Pastor Sarah will share some uncommon biblical wisdom during this 5 part preaching series.

Reshaped: What We’re Made For – In this 4 part series from August 2024 – Pastor Sarah led us through a worship series about getting animated and embracing change. AND we played with a lot of play-do! Experience this series again!

Lay Speakers Includes many sermons from our laity over the years including Jerry Mowl, our All Music Sunday, and most recently Randy Hildebrandt of God’s Country Community Ministry. We also include here a guest clergy speaker, Kim Bos from November of 2023.
