Music ministry
The music program at Bethany has been especially blest with many talented and willing
participants. Many opportunities to enjoy this gift are offered. Whether you want
to participate, or just sit and listen, there are offerings to include everyone,
with five choirs and the concert series.
- Cherub choir-ages 3 through first grade
- Junior choir-grades 2-6
- Senior choir-adults and high school
- Folk choir-for those who enjoy folk music
- Youth orchestra-children studying musical instruments
- The concert series – “The Fourth at Four” – is held on the fourth Sunday of every
month at four in the afternoon, from October to May. It includes varied programs
by various local and guest artists.
Prayer chain
The prayer chain is made up of a group of members of Bethany who support the members
and friends of Bethany who have a special need. Whether it is illness or some other
problem, prayers can be requested either by the one in need or by someone else in
their name.
Prayer shawl ministry
The prayer shawl ministry has become an important part of Bethany, both within the
church and in the community. The shawls are made, with prayer, by the members of
the church, and presented to those who are in need of support as a reminder that
God and his people are with them in their hour of need.
Baptismal blanket
These are hand-made blankets given to our ‘newest’ members to commemorate their
baptism.
Women’s Circle
The Circle of Joy meets monthly for fellowship and to work on various church related
projects and causes.
Parish Nurse Program
The program offers regular blood pressure screening as well as occasional CPR or
First Aid Training classes.
Adult Bible Study
One group meets on Sunday morning between the two services and the other meets on
Tuesday mornings at 6:45 AM in the lounge.
Youth Groups
We have two very active youth groups, one for Middle School students and one for
High School students. Along with monthly activities, these groups participate in
local as well as nationwide Church Youth events.
