A Bethany Cookbook

One Great Hour of Sharing

NEW!  And OLD!

In the COVID-19 era, so many of our brothers and sisters are in need of assistance.  As people of privilege many of us are in a wonderful position to do just that!  Read on to see how you might be able to help some our less fortunate neighbors!

Sunday, April 11

Way back in 2006, we created a cookbook for our 50th anniversary celebration.  Now - finally - we can offer a digital version of that precious recipe haven!  You'll find recipes from Pot-Lucks, Thanksgiving, and Coffee Hours!

Click here to download or here for more info!

On Sunday, April 11, our worship and broadcasting team will take a rest from live broadcasts.  

An "encore presentation" of a previous worship service will be presented on Facebook at our regular worship time, 10:00 a.m.
