Bethany Happenings
COMMUNION SERVICE: Each family is invited to celebrate communion with us as we celebrate on live stream. When Pastor lifts up the bread and the wine a member of the family can raise up your bread and wine or grape juice from home.
LiveStream Sunday services will continue at 9:00 am on Sunday
Each Wednesday at 8:00 pm KIFG will play our sermon.
LECTORS*GREETERS*COFFEE HOUR NEEDED: Worship Assistant for the month of July. If interested please sign up at the Narthex Desk, Call or email Brenda at the Church office 641-648-3555. Thank You!
RIVERSIDE BIBLE CAMP: The Summer Camp schedule is filling up fast at Riverside. There are all sorts of camps to attend, so check out riversidelbc.org for a complete list. There are scholarships available through Bethany as well. We want ALL kids that want to go to camp to be able to attend. For more information contact Ashley Kuker or Robin Sampson.
ATTENDANCE SHEET: Please fill out the Bethany Lutheran Church attendance sheet that is provided for you in each of the church pews.
Hardin County Emergency Food Pantry: It’s time for summer house cleaning, so you might want to donate cleaning supplies to the Hardin County Emergency Pantry. And of course, they always accept food, personal hygiene products and paper products. Our donation box is in the Fellowship Hall. Thanks a bunch.
COTTAGE MEETINGS: One of my main priorities is to get to know each of you: member and non-member, active and inactive, chartered family and seeker, young and young at heart. I want to learn your stories, your joys and concerns, your spiritual gifts (your passions), and your vision for the future of Bethany. To accomplish this effectively I have set up “Cottage Meetings”. Each meeting will take place in someone’s home (host) and will last for 90 minutes. I intend for these meetings to be informal, small, and enjoyable. Each meeting will be limited to 10 people: the host, Pastor Howard, one council member, and six guests. Of course, we couldn’t have a meeting without food, so one guest is also invited to sign up to bring a dessert to share with the group. I have scheduled Cottage Meetings in June and July (we will continue them until everyone has had an opportunity to attend one meeting). The meetings are on different days of the week and at various times throughout the day; we are bound to find a day and time that fits your busy schedule.
CARE INITIATIVES HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS: Are you interested in providing meaningful support and a making a big difference in the lives of patients and families receiving hospice care?

LWR HEALTH KITS: Lutheran World Relief health kits help refugees maintain personal hygiene while children, men and women live in exile. They also contribute to a new start for those who return home. Please add following four items to this plastic bag and return it to the church and place them in the World Relief Box in the Fellowship Hall. Our goal is 100 kits.
Thank you! Linda Lehtola

HARDIN COUNTY EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRY: Besides food, hygiene, and cleaning products the Food Pantry is also in great need of monetary donations. Donations are accepted at Hardin County Family Development Center located at 637 S. Oak St. in Iowa Falls.
