Bethany Baptist Church

Bethany Family,

This summer we will be emphasizing praying together by gathering in and with different groups, on different days, and at various times. At bbgb.org under the calendar tab you can find the entire summer schedule for our prayer times during the week. In addition, each week in the bulletin we will list the prayer session for that week.
Our first prayer session will be tonight at 5-6pm at Bethany. It will involve our entire church family. The theme of our prayer time will be the Gospel with special emphasis on our opportunities this summer with it. As a result we will not be having our usual Wednesday night activities at Bethany for the Summer. Please plan to join us through out the summer for this next step in our desire to be disciples of Jesus.

Bethany Family,

This summer you will have opportunity to assist Andrew Biddinger, Luke March, and Josh Smith, who sense the desire to seek after the position of Elder, in their leadership develop. We want to provide them a chance to grow in the aptitude to teach the Word. We look forward with great anticipation to their ministry among us. Please be in prayer for them as they study the Word, prepare lessons and share with us the fruit of their labors.

This morning we recognize those high school seniors who have graduated:
Tavish Anderson, Nathan Baragar, Calvin Erickson, Corinn Linkowski, Isaac Linkowski, Mark Zackrison.
Congratulation! May your life be a living sacrifice to Jesus
