Living Last Supper – Streaming Online

April 1, 2021 By ClioBethany

Clio Bethany United Methodist Church
Living Last Supper 2021

Holy Thursday – April 1, 2021 @ 7pm on Facebook

The Last Supper, as depicted in a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci centuries ago, is brought to life in Ruth Elaine Schram’s work, “The Living Last Supper”. The music and words of the disciples capture the emotion surrounding the drama of unfolding events of that Easter long ago. One by one, the disciples speak, expressing their innermost thoughts that also portray their incredulous astonishment at Jesus’ claim that one of them would betray him that fateful night.

Welcome – Pastor Cathi Huvaere

Introduction – Karen Nichols

Jesus portrayed by John Neelands

DISCIPLES

Paul Staley as Simon Peter
Bill Peters as Matthew
Scot Sutton as Simon, the Zealot
Larry Heller as Nathanael
Jerry Mowl as James, the son of Zebedee
Ben Wildfong as Andrew
Don Cain as James the Lesser
Otis Stout as Thaddaeus
Duane Fuller as Philip
Al Miller as John the Beloved
Seth Fisher as Thomas
Ron Lemmon as Judas Iscariot

All Music performed by
Bethany UMC Chancel Choir
under the direction of
Rachel Deshone

Director – Karen Nichols

Video Recording and Editing – Elizabeth Whiting

Holy Week Devotional – A Resurrection Faith

March 30, 2021 By ClioBethany

Several Clio Area Churches from Mission Zone 7 in the East Winds District of the Michigan Annual Conference joined together to produce a video devotional for Holy Week 2021 for our congregations. We asked laity from each participating church to answer the question: How has the Holy Spirit led you to live a resurrected life?

Bethany’s lay leader, Diane Weaver answers this question on behalf of the laity of Bethany UMC, but we’d love to hear your individual answers as well as you reflect on this video. Please feel free to share this message with anyone seeking a Holy Week devotional or even beyond. AND, feel free to share your own answer to the question in the comments below.
