Christmas Worship Opportunities




Christmas Eve Service & Pageant with Candlelight
Saturday, 12/24 at 7:00pm
Join us on Christmas Eve for worship with Bethany's unique tradition of presenting the Christmas story through pageant on this holy night.  We will also sing Silent Night by Candlelight








Christmas Day - Nativity of our Lord with Holy Communion
Sunday, 12/25 at 11:00am
It is not often we get the opportunity to come together as the body of Christ to worship Him on Christmas morning - the day so many of our carols refer to.  Come as you are, or put on your Christmas best!  Either way, be sure to take advantage of this rare chance to worship our Lord on the celebration of his coming among us!


Christmas Lessons & Carols Service
Sunday, 1/1/2017 at 11:00am
Join us for a traditional service of Seven Lessons & Carols as we hear about salvation history (and have another opportunity to sing some Christmas carols!) on the 2nd Sunday of Christmas

See below for pictures of some of our December events!

December Events - Pictures!

Christmas Extravaganza
Thanks to everyone who helped - either shopping for presents or decorating the (giant!) Chrismon tree!  The Walmart photo challenge this year was to get pictures of members of our group shopping without them knowing.  The results were pretty funny, if not always flattering, so we won't be posting them on the internet!
Shoppers

Didn't get a picture of decorators, but here's the result of their work!
Community Christmas & Open House
We had a great time making ornaments, listening to music, decorating the outdoor tree & enjoying fellowship & refreshments!
