Bethany UCC

We had four INCREDIBLE preachers kick off our new sermon series, "Bethany Speaks!" All month, we are having members of the congregation give their sermons they've been working on. Up first, we have our four preachers for Sunday: Johnny, Scott, Joey, and Virginia! 

Intern Pastor, Alaina, finished our October series with the catch-22 of hope. Having hope can be really scary, so join us to hear what she has to say about facing that fear and keeping hope anyway.

Rev Vince continued our series by talking about the fear of God. What does it mean to be God-fearing? Does perfect love cast out fear? How does Narnia fit into all this? Find out with us by listening to what he has to say!

Rev. Rebecca continued our October series with her fears of dying alone in the parlor. Well, sort of. Maybe something more along the lines of what it takes to name what we need, and the fear of that.

Rev. Vince launches our October series (for real this time!) by standing firm in the face of fear. From Exodus to key changes, we're not afraid of God's deliverance.

We had four amazing storytellers provide us with stories of their pets. Shoutout to Sandra, Judy, Martha, and Nathan for sharing their tales! Give their stories a listen as you think of your own pet stories.

Rev Rebecca continues our fairytale and reflections series with some secret powers and ridiculous jokes. From Rapunzel to Samson, listen to hear if the plot points even matter. We're telling tales of shape, patterns, and super powers. 

Rev. Rebecca tells the story of the ugly duckling and the great longing to feel at home. Hear about the "homely" Hans Christian Andersen, who came from nothing and the Halls of Faith in Hebrews. The ending of the sermon and the ending of the story might not be what you expect...but is the one that's promised.

Rev. Vince finishes our "Wildflower" series with the work that can be easy to take for granted until you need grounded roots. If you build them and nurture them, they're there when you need them.

Rev. Vince continues our wildflower series with good fires. Fire is something to fear and there's also gifts in letting things fall apart.
