Welcome to the First Issue of Well
here it is! You’re receiving this first edition of Bethany Links about a week later than
planned, but putting together the church's first email newsletter has been a
bigger project than we had imagined! Thank you to everyone who signed up
and has been so patient while we put this thing together! We hope you'll
find Bethany Links to be a
quality, informative newsletter and that it will become an eagerly
anticipated addition to your mailbox every week! You'll
find some standard features in each issue of Bethany
Links. In addition to features and news you need to know,
every issue will include these columns: ·
Preparing for Sunday: This column will list the time,
place and minister for each worship service the following Sunday. We'll also
try to provide the sermon topics and scripture, so you can spend some quiet
time reading and preparing for the weekend worship services. For more details
about the order of worship, take an early look at the Sunday
bulletins, which are posted on our web site every Friday. ·
The Bethany Family: Who's in the hospital? Whose
birthday is coming up? Read this column to find out. ·
This Week at Bethany: Here, you'll find a calendar of
the activities for the coming week. ·
Upcoming Events: In this column, we'll take a
closer look at programs or events that are a few weeks out. Today's issue
includes information about a special Bethany Bash concert, new Bash classes
and the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Be sure to check this column regularly for
events you'll want to add to your personal calendar! ·
Be a Blessing: One of the way Christians grow is
through service. Our Lord said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,”
and those who serve know the truth of that statement. But you don’t have to
go on a mission trip to serve. You can do so right here at ·
Important Links: Check here for links to our church
web sites, as well as to important United Methodist web sites and more. ·
Contact Information: In this column, you'll find Bethany
Links will also have a Special
Worship column during Advent and Lent, and special columns will
come and go throughout the year. Now that Bethany Links is
finally a reality, future issues will arrive in your mailbox late in the
week. Expect to receive your copy on Thursday or Friday. (The delivery date
will depend on the week's workflow and how busy you've kept me and Again,
thanks for signing up for Bethany Links and for being patient while we put
together this first issue. If you have suggestions or ideas for future
issues, please let me know! God Bless, Communications
