VBS is about 9 weeks away. We want to let you know you can start registering your children as well as let us know if you can volunteer to jump in to help us make VBS happen this year. Don’t forget to mark your calendar! Visit bethanycentral.org/vbs for more info.

For the next several weeks, we’ll have a table in the lobby sharing more about our soccer ministry and how you can get involved. As part of our Share Your Hope focus this year, this is a simple and meaningful way to live that out—by building relationships with those who are regularly in our facility but don’t yet know Christ. One of our greatest needs is for believers willing to step in, connect, and invest in these friendships. We’d love for you to stop by the table and learn more about how you can be part of what God is doing.

In an effort to keep you up to date on the status of our finances, here are the financial numbers from the previous month:

Our Annual Meeting is a time to hear ministry updates and, if you are a member, participate in voting on the annual budget and elected officers. We’ve scheduled the morning to allow more people to attend and take part in this important meeting.

We will have a single service at 9:30 AM (no Sunday School, ABC’s, or Children’s Church). Nursery will be available during both the service and the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will follow the service at 11:00 AM, with lunch provided afterwards.

VBS is about 10 weeks away. We want to let you know you can start registering your children as well as let us know if you can volunteer to jump in to help us make VBS happen this year. Don’t forget to mark your calendar! Visit bethanycentral.org/vbs for more info.

The best way to stay up to date with everything happening here at Bethany is by signing up for our weekly digital bulletin. It’s sent out every Friday morning and includes all the events and important items we can’t cover from the stage. You can sign up at bethanycentral.org/bulletin or by scanning the QR code during announcements. And if you prefer, you can always pick up a printed copy at the welcome tables near the sanctuary entrances. We don’t want you to miss what’s going on here!

Our monthly compassion offering collection is after our services this week. This isn’t part of our regular tithes—this is something special we do to express Christ’s love by meeting needs within our church, our community, and around the world. The compassion fund is overseen by our elders and benevolence team. You can contribute by visiting bethanycentral.org/compassion or by giving to the Compassion Fund after the service—look for ushers holding special offering baskets as you exit.

At Bethany we love to use name badges to help people get to know us and make guests feel welcome. Please be sure to wear your nametag next week! If you’ve never had one or need a replacement, please visit or contact the church office to have one made for you in preparation for nametag Sunday.
