Overview
Bethany Bash is a ministry is designed to provide both fellowship and learning opportunities for all of our church members in the middle of the week. Bethany Bash is held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 from mid-August to the end of April with short breaks for Christmas and Lent. During Lent and Advent, Bash meals are served prior to a worship service in Spell Chapel.

Bash is a family event. It begins with everyone gathering in the Large Fellowship Hall for an evening meal. The meal provides an ideal time for families to eat together in the middle of a hectic week and to share fellowship with members of their other family – the Bethany family.

Immediately following the meal, Christian Education programs are offered for every age level. Adults may attend classes in a variety of subjects. The curriculum changes approximately every six weeks and, occasionally, the Bash meal is followed by a concert of Christian music or by a presentation about a topic of general interest. During Lent and Advent a mid-week worship service follows the meal. Register for classes online or by calling the church office at 873-1230.

Children's programming includes music, art and recreation. And youth programming includes study and chat sessions.

A nursery is provided for little ones five years old and younger.

Spring 2008 Bethany Bash begins April 2.

Meals/Menus
Menus for each Bethany Bash meal (and other special Wednesday evening meals) will be listed on the Bethany Bash Dinner Reservations Form, in the church’s monthly newsletter and in weekly worship bulletins.

Children’s meals are simpler than those on the adult menu and feature such items as hot dogs, chicken fingers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Children also have the option of receiving a smaller portion of the adult menu. Kids’ meals are served in boxes for easier handling.

Here are two sample “menus” from recent Bethany Bash meals:

  • Adults: Pork loin, salad, mashed potatoes & gravy, peas, cookies, coffee or tea
    Kids: Hot dog or PBJ sandwich, chips, vegetable, salad, dessert, milk (white or chocolate)

  • Adults: Party chicken, salad, rice, green beans, rolls, brownies, coffee or tea
    Kids: Chicken fingers or PBJ sandwich, chips, vegetable, salad, dessert, milk (white or chocolate)

Reservations
Reservations should be made for Bash meals. There are three ways to make reservations: Complete the Bethany Bash Dinner Reservations Form, call 873-1230 by 9 a.m. the Monday before each meal, or complete the reservation form in your Sunday worship bulletin. Reservations may be made a week at a time or as a standing reservation, which is good for the entire year unless it is cancelled. If a meal reservation is not cancelled, the person making the reservation is still responsible for payment.
