1 BETHESDA NEWS A community caring for all God s people, being transformed by Christ's love, serving others as a witness of God s grace and peace. Bethesda Mennonite Church January 5, 2014 Today we will be offering communion during worship on Epiphany Sunday. Communion was recommended for Epiphany Sunday by Mennonite Church USA for all congregations across the United States to celebrate together our unity in our diversity as we close out the Advent series, "O, the Mystery of God's Dwelling." From the Nominating Committee We are again getting close to Annual Meeting time, which means positions to be filled on our boards and committees. If you have interest, or have an individual you know who is interested in either becoming involved or more involved in the organization and work of Bethesda's various ministries, please contact Jeff Peters at The congregation s willingness to be involved in the work of the church is what allows Bethesda to continue to offer the many ministries that we are able to enjoy.

Women s Bible Studies: Mom s Time Out, led by Kara Janzen will meet from 9:30 11:00 a.m. in the Crossroads Coffee House, beginning January 9, For those of you who have previously attended a Beth Moore study, this one is in a different format. There is no outside homework, and it is only for three weeks. It is based on the story of Esau and Jacob, a story of restoration and forgiveness, which can only happen through the transforming power of God. The Bible study is titled The Making of a More Honest Me and will be led by Susan Friesen on January 13, 20 and 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the youth room. A signup sheet is located on the east bulletin board. The January BWM birthdays will be celebrated at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2014, in the Crossroads Coffee House. Each woman with a January birthday is asked to submit a name, picture and short story or biography of words of a woman who has inspired you (either typed or hand written and sent by mail to 811 Rd A #1, Henderson, or by to Erin Sams at esams@york.edu by January 20, 2014, along with $7.00). The stories will be compiled into a book as gifts for some of the young women and girls in the congregation. The exact number we are able to distribute will be determined after all submissions are in.
