Spring Concert!

Our hearts are heavy as we grieve with our sisters and brothers across this land who are affected by gun violence, and wonder at the senseless acts of hate that continue to infect our society: in Orlando, Minnesota, Louisiana, Dallas, and the entire United States.

We grieve at the sytemic racism in our cities and towns, and the ease with which lethal weapons can be obtained, even by people in poor mental health.  

As a More Light congregation, we are particularly distressed at the homophobic roots of the terrible events which took place at The Pulse in Orlando, Florida, on June 12, 2016

Please join with us in prayer for those who were murdered; for their loved ones, and for our country - that God's vast love and acceptance will prevail over all people, everywhere.

We've planned a very special First Saturday Dinner for our 60th Anniversary!  Details here!

Spring Tea & Fundraiser

The tea was a wild success!  Over $4000 was raised for our charity, Answering For the Children.

We were delighted and inspired by our entertainment for the afternoon, Bu Falle African Dance and Drum, with members from Senegal and Guinea. Photos here, and  video proof of the joy can be found here!

Ready for Sunday School?

On October 2, Bethany's Sunday School is ready for you!  All school-aged children are invited to begin worship with their families (or other adult), and then the teacher will escort them to the classroom after the Musical Offering.  The kids will experience Bible songs and stories, and learning the lessons that Jesus shared, and then return upstairs for the end of worship.  Our awesome teachers look forward to spending a joyful time with the children!
