Another Huge Success
Bethany's alternative to traditional Halloween activities was once again well received by our community. No estimate is available at this time for the number in attendance, but the crowd was as large as or larger than last year's 2200+ people. There were game booths, prizes and plenty of candy. The message of salvation was presented to 299 children and adults in our "Noah's Ark." Click here for more pictures.
Sept 8, AM. Bethany's Fellowship Choir with Dan Eck singing "The Ones Left Standing" in commemoration of September 11.
2002 Missions Conference
Don Rogers
Sept 29 AM. Don Rogers, founder of Empowering Lives International (ELI), challenged us in the morning services from Luke 9:57-62 with the theme: No Home, No Excuses, No Hesitation. He reminded us that this world is not our home, so we should be travelling lightly here following Christ where he leads without excuses or hesitation.
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."Jim Elliot, martyred Missionary with MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) 1956. Quoted by Don Rogers.
Sept 29 PM. Twelve Bethany-sponsored missionaries participated in a panel discussion led by Joe Rogers and answered questions from the congregation.
