Diaconate and Elders to Meet in New Sanctuary

Janci Cahoon asks that all members of the Diaconate and Elders meet in the new sanctuary Saturday, Jan. 3, at 10:00 a.m. We will be using the sanctuary soon, and it is important that we are familiar with new procedures for serving communion there. Be sure to attend--we want communion to be a meaningful experience for all of us, and it will be fun to learn a new way of serving.

Correction to the Beacon

The December issue of the Bethany Beacon states that the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be at 7:00 pm at the Arapahoe Free Will Baptist Church. The correct time is 8:00 pm.
