WORSHIP
Welcome to Bethany Congregational Church! God Loves You and So Do We!
We invite you to join us each Sunday at 10:30 AM for Worship! Come as you are!
We are a warm and welcoming, inclusive and affirming United Church of Christ ministry and we invite any and all of God’s children to partake in Worship with us.
Our Worship services are traditional, but our message is relevant and inclusive. Through song, prayer, Scripture and an inspiring weekly message, our Community of Faith celebrates God’s love and is encouraged to grow in their relationship with Christ.
We heartily welcome and encourage families with children to join us in Worship. Our Minister invites the children up to the altar during the service for an interactive Word to the Children.
It is uplifting and refreshing to hear the children’s responses to the day’s lesson.
