WHAT TO EXPECT
  • Connect with us this Sunday via our live link on Zoom – Pastor John will be leading us from his office, along with other Bethany leaders who will participate via remote link-ups from around the county. We’ve missed gathering with all of you and look forward to connecting this Sunday!
  • We will have a modified 45-minute worship service together including a few worship songs, Discovery Time, a brief reflection on Scripture, and and a congregational prayer time.
  • There will be an opportunity to submit prayer requests online during the service and those will be incorporated into our congregational prayer time.

HOW TO CONNECT
