REMINDER! This Sunday is Pentecost, the "birthday of the Church", when the Holy Spirit first came to God's people - wear red to celebrate! After worship, we will caravan/car pool to Palo Alto for lunch, and then to attend the forum "Walk With Me: Accompanying Immigrants in our Midst" at 1st Congregational church. Attendees will learn about how to support the immigrant/refugee population here in the Bay Area. (archival photo 2008)

A new documentary from friend of Bethany David Barnhart. We're eager to see it!

Jenifer Cox has a request which we're sharing. Let us know if you can help!

Now here's an idea!

From worship today: "Geo and Jess"

Wow! What a wonderful afternoon, to kick off our 60th anniversary celebration! Thank you to Pastor Kathryn Pyke for speaking, to our former pastors Garry Cox (who was accompanied by his wife Robyn, daughter Jenifer, and granddaughter Molly!) and Kimberly Elliott for coming and speaking, and former Parish Associate Robin Crawford, too! We also heard from Kay DeWeese (Pastor George DeWeese's wife), Rev. Janet Bower, musicians Dorie Swales and Derek Tam, and from Sue Bullis! Lots of music was sung, and goodies were gobbled, too. Now, if you missed it, don't fret: there's more coming tomorrow! Come to worship at 10:00, and then come to Beckner Shelter in San Bruno Park for the 60th annual Picnic at noon. Don't forget to wear your new Bethany shirt if you have one. The party continues, see you tomorrow!
