"No other
foundation: inhabiting the stories of
scripture"
This week's bible
study, lead by Bishop Miller, was
well-attended and included a wonder meal
provided by our friends at St. Andrew's.
The Bishop's study focuses on the
different Passion narratives found in
the Gospels and there is one evening
remaining: Feb. 27 (Wednesdays). Join us
for a Eucharist at 5:15pm, dinner at
6pm, and study/discussion starting at
6:45pm.
Please note that Grace will
be serving the meal for this
evening. If you would like
to help out, please contact
Rev. Patrick Raymond.

Our Neighbors Need
Your Help
 FICKLE
WINTER has prevented many from attending
Grace recently and Lenten donations for the
YWCA are few! Do check the bulletin on
Sunday for an insert on things the Mothers
and children need and add several to your
weekly shopping list. Lets fill the wicker
YW basket at the back of the Church to
heaping each of the remaining weeks of Lent!
A list of requested items will be included
in the bulletin for the next few weeks and
can also be found at the link below.

Estate Sale - This
Weekend, Feb. 22 & 23,

behind the sale house. Customers may
park at Bethany United Methodist Church

Picnic for Bibles? Save those
Tickets!
 Many
thanks to all of you who purchased
tickets for last week's Brunch for
Bibles. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did
not cooperate with us and we were forced
to cancel the event. The Youth Group is
looking into a picnic-like event later
this spring. Those who purchased tickets
for last Sunday's brunch will
automatically be on the list for the new
event.
