Bethany Lutheran Church

Our October sermon series is entitled “The Beginning of the End”

Scripture teaches us that ‘the end’ in essence
began when Christ won his victory over sin death and the devil. When he rose again and ascended on high, he promised to come again on judgment day and stated no one knows when that will be. He has left us to stand ready until he comes again. So, for the Christian, each day we recognize is the “beginning of the end”, and that it is time to do certain things in order to be ready.

Thank You for a Beautiful 85th Anniversary Celebration 🌟

Yesterday we gathered as one church family to thank God and celebrate 85 years of his grace, faithfulness, and love — and we are filled with gratitude.

To our Anniversary Committee, thank you for your months of planning, organizing, and preparing every detail with care.

To Pastor Henke, thank you for leading us in worship, sharing God’s Word, and guiding our congregation with faith and joy.

To all our musicians, choir members, accompanists, and worship leaders, thank you for lifting our hearts in praise and filling the service with beautiful music.

To every volunteer, helper, and behind‑the‑scenes servant, your quiet dedication made this celebration possible.

And to everyone who joined us, thank you for coming together to honor our past, rejoice in our present, and look with hope toward our future.

To God be the glory for 85 years — and for all the years to come.

💛 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1
