2020
Welcome to Reverend Debra "Deb" McGuire!
Reverend Debra McGuire, who has provided Pulpit Supply for Bethany on several occasions recently, has been voted (unanimously) by Session to be hired as our Part-time (maximum 24 hours per week) Transitional pastor, beginning January 5, 2020.
We eagerly look forward to learning from, and working and worshiping with Deb in the New Year. We are considering the season of Advent as a time to not only prepare for the coming of the Christ Child, but also to prepare and make room for this new chapter in Bethany's story! Welcome to Bethany, Deb!
