VBS Registration is Open
June 10-14 | 9:00am - 12:00pm
VBS is just one weeks away! Now is the time to start registering your children for VBS. You can use your myBethany or visit the table in the foyer. We also need many of you to volunteer to jump in and help us make VBS a reality this year. Visit bethanycentral.org/vbs to register your kids or to volunteer.
We also want to encourage you to be inviting friends and neighbors. To help you with that, we’ve created a display in the foyer with cards you can hand out.
New Series Notebooks
We are starting a new series this week on the book of Daniel. To help you engage with the series we’ve created a special notebook for sermon notes, group discussion, and prayer requests. You can pick up a copy on your way into the sanctuary or get a digital version at bethanycentral.org/notebook.

Our Women’s ministry has a lot going on this summer to meet other Bethany women, and grow in your faith. You can sign up for a “Table” event to meet new Bethany women. Sign up for a summer ladies Bible study, or look at some of our MOMents ministry summer playdates later this summer.

Discussion Questions
Icebreaker Question
Have you ever had to refuse to eat at someone’s house before (or wanted to)? What was the result?
Discussion Questions
Why is it important to understand God’s sovereignty even in the midst of defeat or hard times? Do you think it’s strange that God lets vessels from His house be taken?
What do you think it was like for Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah to be given new names, a new language, new customs, and a new land? What is the significance of the changes to their names?
In what ways does Daniel show a willingness to obey God rather than men? In what ways is Daniel respectful in his disobedience? Do you think that helped or hurt his cause?
Application Questions
Are there times or places in your life where you struggle to see God’s sovereignty at work? Why or why not?
What are some ways that we can maintain biblical convictions in the midst of a world that is hostile to us?
How would your life look different if you fully trusted in God’s sovereignty?
