ANNUAL MEETING: Bethany Lutheran’s annual meeting will be October 11 after the 9:00 service.
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.

SUNDAY SCHOOL: I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful weather that God has given us this week. As you know we will be having our Sunday School online this fall. When searching for a "Family Friendly" Sunday School program that would appeal to all ages, we found the program at Saddleback Church. It has something for EVERYONE in the family.
To access the weekly lesson go to:
Saddleback.com and select WATCH in the main menu.
Scroll down to WORSHIP THIS WEEK You will see the variety of different weekly messages for different age groups.
