Announcements

Happy Summer crafters!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I am happy to be making stuff in the comfort of my AC. I’ve also taken the opportunity to craft outside while hammocking, which is an activity I highly recommend.

Craft Day will be on June 20th from 11am – 3pm, so bring all your WIPs or new projects; I’m excited to see what you all are working on!

📆 Date: Saturday, June 20th
⏰ Time: 11am – 3pm
📍 Place : The multi-purpose room at BCC

A quick announcement: There will not be a Craft Day in August as I will not be available, but we will pick back up in September. 

Hope to see you all on June 20th!

Best,
Annelise

Hello Bethany Family, 
 
We pray that you are all well this evening. As you know, there is a weather advisory for our area until 10am in effect regarding the incoming snow, potential slippery roads as a result of the weather conditions, and low temperatures. Our understanding is that the snow will conclude by 7am, however, due to the short amount of time that will be available to assess and make a judgement call in the morning that would keep team members, volunteers, and members of the congregation out of harm’s way, after the discussion with the Elders we have decided not to have service in the morning. This decision did not come lightly, but out of an abundance of caution and care for our members, some of whom arrive at the church very early to support service. We believe that this is the best course of action due to the circumstances and the short window to decide and inform everyone. We pray that each of you is warm and safe, and hope that even as we thank God for 39 years as a church from our homes that you will take time for family devotion together.
 
While we didn’t plan for our anniversary to come this way, we remain grateful for God’s keeping hand on Bethany Community Church for all of these years. We hope to see you all in person next week!
 
God bless,  
 
Pastor Nate
