Youth Ministry Updates

Thank you to all who attended, enjoyed and served at the Roller Skating party in March. It was a ton of fun and we will be doing more of these type of social events in the future. A huge thanks to Dan, Debbie, and Bryan Boyse for hosting roller skating for the community. Roller skating on Tuesday nights will resume in the fall. Here’s some pictures from the roller skating party.

The youth served Easter Breakfast before worship. Thank you to all who came and supported the youth. The money raised will help support camp scholarships. Many of the youth will be attending camp this summer. If your child wants to attend camp, please see me & let me know. Scholarships are available.

Here are some pictures from Easter Breakfast & Palm Sunday! The youth had such a great time serving during Lent.

Lots more fun is in store for the Bethany Youth in the coming months. I encourage all 5th – 12th graders to come and check out CORE, our Wednesday after school program. Hope to see some new faces there!

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.
