No Rehearsal Christmas Pageant

December 6, 2021 /

Bring your kids, invite their friends, invite friends of friends, and maybe pick up a few young uns on your way to church this next week to participate in our No Rehearsal Christmas Pageant!!  It is a fun, easy way to tell the Christmas story while engaging our kiddos and having a lot slightly controlled chaos level of fun with our faith family.

And it will all be counted as worship as we enjoy time together cheering on our children and youth and singing the hymns of Christmas.

Children and youth are asked to arrive at 10am if they can to get a costume and be assigned a part.  We want our coordinators (thank you Chrissy Gossett and Kim Beauchamp!!) and other adult volunteers to be able to focus on last-minute kiddo visitors as we get close to service time.

For more information, contact one of the coordinators or Pastor Carla. Otherwise, come join in the fun Sunday at 10:30am.

Peace,
Pastor Carla

Christmas Gifts for Kids of Piedras Negras and Local Orphanges

December 6, 2021 /

Submitted by Rev. Arlene Turner, Bethany Congregational UCC San Antonio and Rev. Nikki Stahl, Association Minister Heart of Texas

Dear South Central Conference Churches and Members,

You are cordially invited to participate in a monetary donation drive to purchase Christmas gifts for the kids of Piedras Negras and local orphanages. We (Arlene & Nikki) recently traveled to Piedras Negras and Jimenez, Mexico to visit children supported by El Shaddai Ministries, a ministry partner of Bethany. Provided is a short 3-minute video of that experience. Please feel free to download and share this short-video with your congregations, family, friends, the world by including in your electronic newsletters, social media, websites and more. 

Our desire along with Pastor Jose is to provide each child (300, or so) a small gift from the church so that they will know that they are not forgotten and loved by God. Monetary donations will be accepted through Monday, December 20th at Bethany Online Giving . We will be returning to Piedras Negras Christmas week to purchase and distribute the gifts. Plans are to create a follow-up video so we can celebrate together!

As the video shows, this journey has already been spirit-filled and we look forward to experiencing how the Divine will live, and move, and has its being in and through us all.

 
Peace, Rev. Arlene & Rev. Nikki

Christmas Eve Service

December 14, 2020 /

Our annual Christmas Eve service will be on Thursday, December 24th at 5:30 p.m.  and 10:30 p.m.  Since we cannot gather in the sanctuary the service will be on zoom only.  You can use the same zoom link as on Sunday mornings.  The service will include candle lighting.  You can use any candles that you have around the house for this or if you wish stop by the church and pick up an “official” candlelight candle.  They will be on the pew outside the sanctuary door starting Sunday December 20th. 

    The sanctuary will be lit up with 50 luminaries.  Some very special music will be a part of this service. Be sure and view the service at 5:30 p.m.  or 10:30 p.m. December 24th.
