The Soul Felt Its Worth – Daily Advent Study 2020

November 28, 2020 By ClioBethany

Devotional + Music = Awesome

25 Days. 25 Songs. An audiobook production like nothing you’ve experienced before. Enjoy a unique devotional format with The Soul Felt Its Worth on audiobook. Featuring original musical arrangements from Reawaken Hymns for each day’s devotional, the audiobook will be a worshipful and impactful experience as we walk through the history, Scripture, and devotional application of your favorite Christmas hymns.

There will be a weekly Zoom chat group on Wednesdays at 5pm to discuss the carols and the devotions and just check in with each other.

Feel free to drop in and chat about these popular carols, even if you don’t buy and read the daily devotionals.

Miss a day or a week? No big deal. You can catch up anyway!

Elizabeth Whiting is hosting the Zoom chat group and it will be very casual and informal. A time of catching up with one another and sharing our thoughts about these popular carols.

Email info@cliobethany.org for the ZOOM chat group link. Or message Elizabeth through Facebook or phone.

You can purchase the audio book or the print book here: https://www.reawakenhymns.com/read-the-soul-felt-its-worth

If you’d like to just listen to the carols each day, here’s the list of carols we’ll be listening to as part of this devotion.

11/29 – Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

11/30 O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

12/1 Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

12/2 It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

12/3 While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

12/4 O Little Town of Bethlehem

12/5 Once In Royal David’s City

12/6 Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming

You can listen to the hymns (most of them are the same versions we’ll hear in the study, a few are different artists) on this embedded playlist.

We are the Inside Out Church!

November 28, 2020 By ClioBethany

At the request of the Bishop of the Michigan Area Conference of United Methodists and local health officials, we are returning to Online Only worship for the remainder of 2020 as of 11/29/2020. Worship will be fully virtual. You can watch online on our public Facebook Page. If you would like to dial in over the telephone, please send a message and we will get you dial in numbers. If you’d like to receive a DVD in the mail of worship, please reach out to our church office.

We are going to plan some weekly activities to show the community that even when we cannot gather safely inside of our building, we are STILL the church. Jesus Christ STILL brings HOPE.

On Sundays during Advent, we will gather in the church parking lot at 3pm and walk down towards the end of our entry way on Vienna Rd and sing carols together. Please come and join us in this Inside Out Church experience.

Visit our grounds on December 20th from 6pm to 8pm for our Lights of Hope Drive Thru time. The decorations and church will be lit and showing our community that we are STILL the church and Christ brings HOPE. We’ll be passing out candy canes as you exit the parking lot. Invite your friends and neighbors!

Wednesday Night is. . . Music Night!

October 5, 2017 By ClioBethany

Come early and enjoy the Wednesday Night Live fun.  Classes at 5pm and dinner at 6pm. Then, after dinner, so many musical opportunities! Wednesday night is now rehearsal night!

  • Bethany Band – 6:30pm
  • Choir – 7:15pm
  • Bethany Bells – 7:45pm

The Bethany Band is led by Ross Doolittle.  Bring an instrument and come sit in on band rehearsal. The band plays at various worship service.  Some musical experience is needed and you’ll need to provide an instrument, but if you just feel a little rusty, come on out and give it a shot.

Then, at 7:15pm, Rachel Deshone gathers the choir members. Rachel is seeking more voices for the choir and would love an opportunity to hear you sing and to work with people of any and all skill levels with a desire to sing in worship and praise.

At 7:45pm, Bill Schipper leads the Hand Bell Choir.  The hand bell choir has room for new members.  Bill is able to train up new ringers of any skill level.  This is a great way to get involved in music if you don’t have an instrument and aren’t sure about your voice.  Bill can and will make a bell ringer out of you!  The Hand Bell Choir participates in several community rings as well as playing in worship periodically.
