All local children are encouraged to participate in our church youth activities. Our programs are person-oriented and family-conscious with an emphasis being placed on witness and service as well as nurture and community. In addition to the many activities shared within our congregation, our youth are also exposed to opportunities outside our church home. These programs are designed to provide our youth with additional activities to further strengthen understanding of themselves, other people, and God. Women's Groups Bethany Circle The Bethany Circle meets on the last Wednesday of each month from Sept to May at 1:00 pm for Bible study and a business meeting. We welcome with open hearts anyone interested in joining us at any time. We pray that God will lead us in our endeavors to serve him. Along with the Service & Witness committee, the women's groups have visited nursing homes and shut-ins. Cards are sent regularly to bereaved members and also to those ill or hospitalized. A rose bud is placed on the Alter to honor the birth of all new babies in our congregation. We have four weekday serving groups and two weekend groups. These groups serve at funerals, etc. If you can help serve or provide food for these events, please contact the church, your help is greatly needed. Monies donated by the families at funerals is donated to the Church general fund.

Men's Groups MELCA All men of the church are members of MELCA and are welcome to attend our meetings held at the church the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. with a meal prepared by the members. It's an informal get-together, someone brings a pot of soup and we discuss everything from what we can do for the church to who is catching the biggest fish! A free-will offering is collected after the meal and the proceeds are deposited in the checking account. Various repair maintenance projects are taken care of after the meal. The group hosts an annual Roast Beef Dinner for the church and community to raise funds for such things as snow removal and church property improvements and repairs. |
