Worship

Welcome to Clio Bethany UMC!

The sunday worship experience is a very important part of our spiritual journey at Bethany United Methodist Church.

We have talented artists and musicians who help create an atmosphere of worship and holiness in our sanctuary. Many members of our church are involved in maintaining our building and grounds to maintain an environment where the mind can be free to worship, meditate and focus on God.

Our schedule might change occasionally, so keep up to date with our Worship Schedule.

We invite you to come as you are, there is no dress code in our sanctuary or for our sunday classes. Also, children are welcome in our sanctuary. Ask for an age appropriate worship case of activities for your children from one of our ushers. We love having kids in worship.

We invite you to listen to a sermon online if you either can’t make it to Sunday services or if you want to get a feel for the style of worship at our congregation.

We are a friendly bunch. If you have questions not answered here or suggestions for worship, we invite you to call our office, connect with us on Facebook, or send us an email.

On the Way to Bethlehem: During Advent & Christmas of 2024 we journeyed to Bethlehem as Children & a donkey helped to show us the way throughout Pastor Sarah’s sermon series.

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.
