CWF Harvest Dinner Set for Saturday, Nov. 1

Bethany's annual Harvest Dinner takes place Saturday, Nov. 1, beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the Arapahoe Free Will Baptist Church. Dinners, consisting of turkey, all the trimmings and dessert, are $7.00 per plate.

Although the new church building is nearing completion, it is not ready yet for events like the Harvest Dinner, so our friends at the Arapahoe Free Will Baptist Church graciously offered their facilities for the dinner. We at Bethany are grateful for the help of our fellow Christians at Arapahoe FWB Church! The event is sponsored by the Bethany Christian Women's Fellowship.

New Building is Crowned!

Up goes the spire!

It's set in place.

The cap goes on…

…while congregational members Barbara Benton, Melissa Watson and Annette Aldridge watch from safely across the street.

The view of the new building now is enhanced by a majestic spire pointing to the glory of God!

Steeple Top Ready to Ascend!


The "nosecone," now clad in copper, is ready to be hoisted up, but the cap on the top will have to be removed to allow the crane to place it on the tower, then the cap will be replaced.

Homecoming Worship Held in New Fellowship Hall!



It was too cool and windy for a service in the pavilion, so we moved inside the new fellowship hall. No matter that it's not finished and ready to be occupied; it was our first service in the new church building, followed by a great dinner on the, well, concrete floor (no, we used tables)!

Tomorrow is Homecoming Sunday 2008!

Tomorrow is Homecoming Sunday! We welcome all to come to Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Worship at 11:00 a.m. under the pavilion, then eat in fellowship on the grounds. If the weather is inclement, we will worship with our friends and fellow Christians at the Arapahoe Free Will Baptist Church, and dine in their fellowship hall.

Waiting for the Crowning Glory…
