If you are ready to publicly declare that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, baptism is your next step. If you are interested in baptism, or simply meeting with a pastor to talk more about the importance of and steps for getting baptized, go to bethanycentral.org/baptism.

The best way to know what’s going on here at Bethany is by signing up for our weekly digital bulletin email that comes out every Friday morning. You can go to bethanycentral.org/bulletin to sign up or use the QR code on the screen. You can also always grab a paper copy of the bulletin at the welcome tables near the entrances of the sanctuary. There’s a lot that happens here that we can’t always announce from the stage and we don’t want you to miss out on those things.

Over 800 people joined us for a day of fun, food, and connection—many from our community. More than 400 guests attended our drama where the gospel was shared, and we were able to give away over 92 Bibles. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who volunteered and served to make this outreach possible. We are grateful for our church family and the way you came together to bless our community!

Save the date! In two weeks, we’ll come together for our Congregational Meeting. This is a special time to hear how God is moving through the various ministries of our church. Everyone is welcome to attend—whether you’re a member or not! Lunch will be provided.

Our monthly compassion offering collection is happening this week after each service. This isn’t part of our regular tithes—this is something special we do to meet real, practical needs within our own church community. You can contribute to the Compassion Offering by visiting bethanycentral.org/compassion or by giving to the Compassion Fund after the service this week.

Discover why connecting with the church family is essential for following Jesus together. In this single-session class you’ll explore biblical motivations for connection and learn how our Community Groups, ABC’s, and serving opportunities help you live them out. Whether you’re new to Bethany or looking to deepen relationships, this class will help you take your next step in belonging. Go to bethanycentral.org/connecting to register.

The Pasture is a space for members and attenders to connect with our pastors and elders—ask questions, share thoughts, or get to know one another. Whatever is on your heart—we’d love to hear from you. Coffee and pastries will be provided. Everyone is invited for this Q&A session.
