🎨🙏 LET’S PUT OUR PRAYERS ON PAPER! 🙏🎨

As we prepare for Bethany’s Prayer on the Corner event, we’re inviting YOU to help us create posters that will carry messages of hope, faith, encouragement, and prayer into our community!

Join us Sunday, September 20th, immediately following worship in the Fellowship Hall for a fun and creative poster-making session. 🖌️✨

Whether you’re artistic or can barely draw a stick figure 😂, we want you there! Supplies will be provided by the Evangelism Committee.

Because sometimes the prayer someone needs is the one we’re willing to share. ❤️

Always say a prayer! 🙏

Fellowship at Bethany is truly an experience all on its own! 🥰🙌🏾

There’s just something special about coming together, sharing a meal, laughing, catching up, and simply enjoying the gift of community and connection. 💜

A huge THANK YOU to our Young Adults for hosting our most recent Fellowship Hour and creating such a warm, welcoming, and joyful atmosphere for everyone to enjoy!

From worship to fellowship, we’re grateful for the moments that remind us that church is not just where we gather, it’s where we belong. ❤️

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 👀✨

Generations of Grace. One God. One Faith. One Legacy. 🙌🏾

Young Adult Reunion Sunday was a beautiful reminder that worship has no expiration date and God’s grace continues from generation to generation.

From the youngest to the young at heart, we lifted our voices, opened our hearts, and gave God the glory He deserves. There was something powerful about seeing generations worshipping together, honoring where we’ve come from while trusting God for where He’s taking us.

“My Spirit... will not depart from you, and my words... will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants.” — Isaiah 59:21

This is what legacy looks like. ❤️‍🔥
Grace runs in the family.
